The electoral college was supposed to resist demagogues.  
It hasn't, for a long time, and the demagoguery is getting worse.
Trump is the most intensely demagogical orator we've had as President in our lifetimes.  You don't have to agree with me on that.  Nearly every unique aspect of his personality is something that the founders would have singled out as unfit for office.  You're getting lost in the weeds disputing that. The founders did not want business men in the White House.  Jimmy Carter understood this. but my point still stands even if you disagree with me at all these things.

it might help you understand my point if you consider how little follow-through Trump really has.
This all could have been a lot worse.
What if he started telling TSA to ignore federal judges after his first Muslim ban?
What if he didn't get the size of tax cut he wanted, but directed IRS to enforce the tax code as if he did?
What if he thought global warming was a national emergency?
What if the next President, of either party, pairs Trump's demagoguery and narcissism with courage and follow through?
Don't you agree that that would be terrible?
How can we prevent that?

What the left fails to see is that President Trump is a product of years of a biased media and mooshy RINO’s. Years of being abused by popular culture and an out of control Democrat propaganda machine pretending to be the media. But the main reason is that the traditional Republican was weak and never really stood up to the Democrats. We wanted someone to fight back and win. He does that, and that is why he WILL win again.
