It is progressivism’s pure democracy that everyone conceives of and references in their chatter about how Trump is a “threat to democracy.” If Trump is truly a threat to this kind of insidious democracy, then good, he should trounce it and burn it to ash. Yet there is little evidence that Trump would do anything to undermine the American constitutional system as it was originally conceived. The greater problem, however, is that Trump is neither running to preserve that original system nor would he govern under it, since it no longer exists.Ben Crenshaw</blockquote>
