        Rich Republican voters who would rather not be seen as racist would use the secrecy of the ballot box to vote for Trump asshole racist, etc. but would react badly to Trump damaging trade that helps their investments.

        We could have a lengthy discussion about what greatness means. One thing which should be clear: Trumpism will in no way lead the US to anything resembling greatness. However, the hopeful amongst us can point to the backlash he is causing that one day we may reach our potential.
