“He’s told us what he will do. It’s very easy to see the steps that he will take. People who say, ‘Well, if he’s elected, it’s not that dangerous because we have all of these checks and balances,’ don’t fully understand the extent to which the Republicans in Congress today have been co-opted. One of the things that we see happening today is a sort of a sleepwalking into dictatorship in the United States. If you look at what Donald Trump is trying to do, he can’t do it by himself. He has to have collaborators. And the story of Mike Johnson is a story of, of a collaborator and of someone who knew then – and knows now – that what he’s doing and saying is wrong, but he’s willing to do it in an effort to please Donald Trump. And that’s what makes it dangerous.” – Former Rep. Liz Cheney, speaking to CBS News.

Yea Thomas Jefferson was certainly a secret Russian Agent. Learn some history and also learn how American Elections work. Hint, you only get 8 total years as president and when the president goes way, the constitution stays.

He's right. The constitution should have been re-made many times already. Plus I though you just told me that we can't get 2/3rds of congress to agree, therefore the constitution can't change, so what secret is Trump going to use so that he can unmake it?
