    Trump has created a roadmap for how an authoritarian president can govern virtually unchecked even with an opposition party controlling the House. USA is lucky that Trump is so incompetent & will likely lose. But next authoritarian in the White House might not be so incompetent

        One striking difference between Watergate & Trump's assault on constitution is that Watergate forced many liberals & conservatives to rethink their support for imperial presidency (Schlesinger's fine book was part of the process). That rethinking isn't going on right now.

        I hope you're right about Trump losing; but I fear you're not.

        Trump has been bleeding supporters for quite a while. He has not added to his numbers; he has only lost them. Joe Biden will win in a landslide.

        Yes. We need some major change beyond changing laws, rules to prevent this from happening again.

        Like what? Changing our rules and laws is all we can do.

        If your own party completely enables the President even though the opposing party impeached him, yes it’s difficult...

        The damage is done. The Constitutional Convention is coming in less than 10 years, no matter what.

        A Constitutional Convention would be a wildcard, with no accountability.
