re <<The Republican Party is now pulling out all the stops to collapse Donald Trump's run for President>> if i only base view on what ggersh Message 30351112 , snowshoe Message 30352143 , and you Message 30352229 brought to attention, i would comment, (1) the donald may change america from the way everyday americans think america is or is supposed to be, or maybe not, as polls are generally biased by the way they are conducted (2) donald makes for interesting candidate to stir the pot (3) donald makes for entertaining president until not (4) he may actually win and could even work out until not if not (5) in a manner of speaking obama worked out, whatever that may mean and so did every other president, however defined, for some group or other i happen to believe basic / fundamental character matter, and would only wish to be ruled over by one i can stand as a friend and godparent to my kids, which narrows down the field somewhat in all cases, 2016 is coming, day T-22

The United States exists within a framework of Common Law, Constitutional, along with subsequent Federal, State and local laws. These laws, coupled with a tripartite government deliberately designed by the writers of the Constitution to slow-down prevent arbitrary majority decisions, tend to keep the US government operating as usual in the way it always has regardless of who becomes President. The wisdom that says, "New Boss, just like the Old Boss," is true because the new boss operates under exactly the same constraints as the old boss. When running for President, it's very easy to say you plan to do all sorts of things. If the candidate is particularly naive he or she may even believe this themselves. If and when they finally find themselves in office, they get a four or eight year education about the limitations of their power. What kind of President would Trump be? He has no experience in government so he is certainly not going to be the President he thinks he would be - that's certain. It's possible he could rise to the challenge, but given his lack of experience it's unlikely. Trump could posture and tell Congress and the Judicial system they're fired if they don't agree to block Muslims from entering America, or some other idea he's thrown out on Twitter, but this would just be meaningless noise as he'd discover he has no power to implement this or most of his other ideas. But this is all sort of theoretical as it seems extremely unlikely Hillary Clinton will not be the next President. I might prefer Bernie Sanders but like the person voting for Trump, it would be foolish to bet much money on this outcome. Reagan and Bush both created catastrophic real estate bubbles which badly hurt the American economy and wiped-out a big part of the lending system, so it's definitely within the President's power to create chaos and destruction. But this destruction takes a lot of effort on their part within a relatively short period of 4 or 8 years, and if they've swung too far one way the country later swings back. Really bad people tend not to get elected, but appointed during an "emergency" as Hitler was, who then abuse "Emergency Powers" to adjourn the German Congress and rule as a dictator. This is what happens when people can't feed their family and there's rioting in the streets. Without that sort of chaos preceding an election
