      I think it's genuinely true that Trump is an outlier in that no previous president, however bad, was so ill-fitted to the office, so lacking in basic knowledge of policy & government, etc. He really does highlight fact that office used to have a minimum level of competence.

          Beyond competence. They thought *that they had a job* that they had to do well. Trump doesn't think he does. He has no such conception.

          Not enough people realized it's completely ahistorical to just give someone like that the most powerful position in the world and then take it back in a few years no harm done if we don't like the outcome. Will 2016 be the most consequential election of all time?

          I disagree as to some early 19th C. generals who became Prez.

          Now that the bar has been lowered, can it be raised? Have we done permanent damage to our republic?
