My problem was with the idea that he wanted to win the next election, but with the idea that it was his _primary_ goal, more important than actually getting things done.

>ROFL and LOL!!! In spite of what you think the sky is not falling. I bet you said the same thing when Reagan was elected....

No. I thought Reagan was a terrible choice and a bad President, but no, I didn't think he was a threat to democracy. I've never considered another president-elect the kind of threat I think Trump is.
