Trump will do likewise and not in the best interests of this nation. He's spent a lifetime in shady business dealing fully aware of how to dodge the laws or he wouldn't have a team of attorneys riding his shirttail 24/7......

Even if that were not the case, which it is, honest discourse about the rule of law wouldn’t be discussed, they simply aren’t interested in law unless they enact them...and then it never apply’s to them.

I agree absolutely.

Greenfield nails it here. Extremely perceptive.
The bottom line is that we’ve got a probably a century of HARD WORK ahead of us to turn this ship around. There are no shortcuts — not SHTF, not a second civil war, not the election of any single person. There is no solution to our problem except hard work sustained over time.
“If the Republican establishment really wants to defeat Trump, it needs to find a credible answer to this question. Instead of thinking about how to defeat Trump, it really needs to answer how it will defeat Obama and the forces that gave rise to him. If it can’t figure out how to defeat illiberalism, it will be defeated by it. “
That’s all there is....
Hey I gave it a shot and you gave a very reasonable response unlike the more vehement of the clan. For that you get a “hope it goes our way for a change”. Trump, Cruz, Carson, even Fiorino, and keep the house and Senate, anything less and things are not looking good IMHO.
Everyone wants to win the game based on the rules of the game. And the current rules of the game are not Constitutional. The left wanted a dictator. Obama gave them one. He implemented laws, started wars and took on powers which were not only beyond his authority, but which were opposed by the majority of Americans and elected legislators in Congress. And he won. He got away with it. And that made his way of doing things the new game. The media and some Republicans sputter that Trump's proposals couldn't be carried out. Well of course they could be. If Trump were to run things the way that Obama has. There are two responses to this. The left deems this unacceptable because it has a double standard. There's always some reason why its rulebreaking is okay, but why the rules must be applied to the right. Mocking the kids of presidential candidates is off limits... unless they're Republicans. Ruling by Executive Order is tyranny... unless a progressive does it. Starting wars based on lies is wrong unless... etc. Now that kind of hypocrisy is only to be expected from politicians. The trouble is that the left encompasses the media, much of the legal system, academia and a raft of other key network institutions that make it impossible to have any kind of honest discourse about the rule of law. That means the game is rigged. There are two sets of rules. So why play by them?
LOL - so true...
