How much damage will they do? I guess we'll find out

Daily Kos

After listing what Trump wants but may not be able to do, Kevin Drum sums the election up:

But even that's not why this is so depressing. That's simpler: It's the fact that Americans would elect a boorish, blustering, fantasizing, moronic, self-absorbed dimwit like Trump. Any other Republican, sure. Sometimes the country turns right. But how can a man like Trump be supported by the vast majority of the Republican Party? That's depressing.

Yes, well put. I am not a depressive, but I'm an old man who lost any illusions I had about American history, government or people way back in the early 1960s when my country attacked and invaded Vietnam, a slo-motion atrocity that killed more than a million Vietnamese and more than 58,000 American troops. 

The United States is a wonderful country, but it's scary when it's on a political or military rampage. We have to assume the country will survive another four years of a Trump presidency. 

The only question: How much damage will he and the contemptible Republican Party do to the country in four years?
