David Frum, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, is issuing a dire warning about the state of American democracy should President Donald Trump win a second term.
Writing in The Atlantic, Frum argues bluntly that America "wouldn't survive" a second Trump term, even as the country is limping to the finish of his first term.
In fact, Frum believes that Trump has already proven that an American president can get away with discarding guardrails in place to keep him in check without suffering significant political consequences.

David Frum? That creepy looking mofo? Screw you.
I guess we would have survived if we had the designated loser in 2016 such as jeb as we did in 2008 and 2012 with McCain and Romney. Same old song and dance with these people.

The United States is not “limping.” Only the blue locked down states are limping, and they are actually doing OK considering their poor choices.
We will survive and thrive in a Trump second term!

If you mean we have to elect a leftist and weak kneed Republican to ‘survive’ count me out.

It's like Trump's opponents are all sharing notes and colluding together. Huh. Imagine that.

Now that is a real credible combination: Frum, Bush, and the Atlantic. (written with massively overloaded sarcasm)

Trump has succeeded in flushing out the Conservatives in name only, that’s for sure.

Remember when Bush-ites had the mantra “we never negotiate with terrorists”?
Now the message is, acquiesce to threats.

Is “guardrails” their term of the day? That’s what Obama used, too.

Wasn’t it Steve Jobs’s dingbat, leftist (but I repeat myself) widow who just bought the Atlantic?

“...Funny. Obama is also talking about guardrails....”
Yeah. He’s a real good one to talk about “guardrails”.
IF the Congress had stayed inside the “guardrails”, that foreign SOB would never have been eligible to be POTUS to start with.

The America Bush and Obama want might not survive another two years of Trump.
But the rest of us will likely be happy with the outcome.
