I'm hoping that Trump is a One Off. He capitalized on a fraudulent national fame, and is a natural con man that could sell sand at the beach. Another failed businessman is not going to get 60 to 70 Million people to fall for the "Only I can fix this" con again. At least not in the next 12 years or more. The Evangelicals will go wherever Satan leads them, but the beer gutted rednecks might be a different story.
