Except for poor little Adolf Hitler after the Munich Beer Hall Putsch. Might history have been different if he didn’t have the cachet and time to write afforded in prison?
Absolutely. Can’t get anything done whilst in the grip of authoritarianism. In normal times - whatever that might look like after the dust settles in a post-Trump world - the age thing should be looked at.
Doubt we will have a post Trump world, as such. The fucker might bow out on his golden shitter tomorrow but the orange stain will ooze over society like poison for a long time coming.
That is unnervingly similar in tone to a note I just sent one of my software engineers about something we need to fix.

I think he could even win. His opinions are more grotesque and vulgar than those of his father and he is much more well spoken and sharp.
As a Standard Bearer picking up the mantle for America First from Trump, why not ?

I would not discard his chances. I would laugh at it in 2016, but not now. Not now.
