Look, anyone with even a remote grasp on reality knew this guy had no chance. None.
That he could con so many people and put together such a horrific cult of personality reminds me of some of the other great con men of the last century:
Obama. Mussolini. Lenin. Stalin. Hitler.
No, of course what these guys did isn't comparable to a back-country doctor who never got a bill passed in his 30 years in Congress (Not unlike our OWN congresswoman, come to think of it.)

The trampling on the rights of others?
It's just a matter of degree.
And now he's finally done.
