@randahl Thank you!
Trusting the system to stop him gives me strong 2016 vibes, but you make a good case.
As for losing the election if he can be allowed to participate, presidential election history stats be damned, I think it's going to take the GOP etsblishment turning their back on him. It was interesting to see candidates in the primary debates actually attacking him (even though he wasn't there). I hope that's a sign of a shift.
