Indeed. The bigger question is if the people impressed by that are enough to tip the scale – and let’s not forget the people looking for any possible shred of cover to self-justify going ahead and voting for him.

It’s only unconstitutional right now because they didn’t bother to appeal. It would have won on appeal.:rolleyes:

Look guys - I’m not American and I’m terrified that Trump might be president. Unfortunately, while I might be somewhat tone-deaf, and while I am watching Trump for the first time, he sounds much better than I expected. Obviously his claims are sometimes kind of funny, but listening to him while squinting with my brain and mostly following his prosody and gross rhetoric - he will well resonate with the undecided.

I am even more terrified now.
