"Trump does not have enough shame to check himself. His party does not have enough courage to check him. The media does not have, or see itself as having, the capability to check him. And so he will not be checked. His candidacy will demolish longstanding norms of decency, civility, and tolerance. And his presidency — well, his presidency could do much worse.

Those who comfort themselves that a Trump administration could only do so much damage because it's hard, in the American political system, to pass or repeal laws should think again. Yes, it is hard to pass or repeal laws. But it's easy to destroy norms, and a vengeful, frustrated, or simply impulsive president could do terrible damage unconstrained by the norms that limit our leaders."
