      1. When the election is over, Americans should ask themselves some searching questions about the health of their democracy.

      2. I think the main problem is GOP, which is (to use @saletan's phrase) a failed state that Trump took over as a warlord. But not just GOP.

      3. But beyond the GOP other institutions, notably TV networks) enabled a dangerous demagogue's rise.

      4. I'm pretty confident Trump is going to lose but fact he's gotten this far has been real test of many institutions, which many have failed

          GOP trying to change rules (add superdelegates, limit candidates) is trying to tame an active volcano

          And laid bare the Evangelical right (Falwell etc) as nothing more than political whores. Trump? Embodiment of sin.

          Yes, and we must be thankful the proctor was Donald Trump and not someone who actually wants to be president.

          Quite likely we'll see a smart demagogue next time. Dems giving up on working class makes it possible.

          I'd argue it's the legacy of a political institution which for the last 25+ years has convinced it's backers of a corrupt media

          As such, attempts by even the most conservative media outlets (National Review for one) to warn voters was met with derision
