And if you still are trying to wrap your mind around it, remember that the form of government that the founders feared more than anything was democracy.

Read the Federalist Papers.

The Donald is a textbook case for showcasing the founders fears.

Actually Donald Trump is exactly the type of man they wanted to run for office. The founders never wanted a professional political class always mooching of the public. Instead they wanted citizen leaders who would return to their normal lives after serving for a period.

Mob rule I believe was the Founders opinion of a democracy.
