Putting aside just how accurate the poll is, it is a disgrace that Trump is not at least 20 points behind. I am very disappointed with the very poor judgement the voters have had to date in this election cycle. That is what happens I guess when one reverts to emotion and anger and resentment venting rather than something more calm and rational. And far too many perhaps are looking for good entertainment value in their leader, rather than putting someone in the White House who just might be competent, and respectful of the rule of law.
I'm not feeling extremely angry or overly emotional or resentful of anyone. In fact it is because I am calm and rational that I am supporting Trump as the competent and law respecting choice versus an at best incompetent fool like Hillary Clinton.
Donald Trump already acts much like a dictator, ordering about people as if he had the power or can expect to have such power. This shows what sort of President he would be or would try to be. One of two things happen should he be elected:
1. He achieves dictatorial power and transforms America in ways that will prove disgraceful after some calamity of his making or of that of his hand-picked successor, or
2. The Constitutional checks and balances will stop him completely and weaken him until the real power is in Congress as happened during the political demise of Richard Nixon. America got a taste of parliamentary republic when Congress approved a Vice-President who was going to replace Nixon, Gerald Ford acting much as if a Prime Minister.
The warnings are obvious. If you think that Barack Obama is having trouble with a monolithic Republican Party in opposition, think of what happens by 2018.
CEOs can act as dictators within the businesses that they administer. They can fire anyone. The President cannot fire a recalcitrant Governor, Representative, Senator, or Justice of the Supreme Court.
