Do you seriously think that Trump with the support of the people is going to let the Washingtonians stop him from doing whats necessary?

I think it is this attitude, seemingly shared by many Trump supporters, that scares me the most about a Trump candidacy. The attitude is, "Obama bypassed Congress, ignored the Constitution, enforced the laws he liked and ignored the ones he didn't; now see how you like it when Trump does the same! Unless you can get 67 votes to impeach, there's nothing you can do!"

The problem is, I actually want a president who knows and understands the Constitution and will follow it and the rule of law. I don't want another lawless president, even if this one might agree with me on some issues.

If we get another president who ignores the Constitution and rule of law like Obama, regardless of which party he/she represents, that will be the end of our Constitutional democracy. No president from that day forward will even worry about the Constitution, as the precedent will have been set and firmly established.

...our Constitutional democracy.

I'm from America. Texas to be precise.

America is a Constitutional Republic
with democratic elements.

So where are you from?

The Republic died in 1865 when Lincoln murdered the sons of the FOUNDERS and became the first American dictator.

We are post constitutional and the law is whatever the guy with the guns and the power says it is.

It’s time to clean house and ensure the marxists and baby killers and homosexuals and illegal alien supporters and bureaucrats are not only purged but never have the opportunity to wield power again.

The party in Washington is over. It us against them.

No mercy.
