Analysis of Political Leadership and Elections
But yeah, here's what happens in many countries around the world.
You have a leader that emerges and basically says,
forget, don't put your faith in yourselves,
don't put your faith in society, put your faith in me.
I'm a strong leader and I'm going to make
things better by all by myself. This is very typical.
You see it in the third world.
You see it a lot in Latin America for decades.
It's basically the argument he's making that
he single handedly is going to turn the country around.
We've never been that kind of country.
We have a president.
The president is an American citizen who serves for a period
of time constrained by the constitutions and the powers vested in that office.
The president works for the people,
not the people for the president.
And if you listen to the way he describes himself
and what he's going to do,
he's going to single handedly do this and do that without regard for whether it's legal or not.
Look, I think people are gonna have to make up their mind.
I can tell you this.
No matter what happens in this election for years to come,
there are many people on the right, in the media,
and voters at large that are going to be having to explain and
justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump.
Because this is not going to end well one way or the other.
He's going to be the nominee and he's going to lose.
Or he'll have thrown this party into its most chaotic and divisive period ever.
And that's unfortunate because the Republican Party is the
home of the limited government free enterprise movement in America.
And if it crumbles or divides or it splits apart,
it'll be very difficult to elect candidates that hold those views at
any level of government until we can bring the party back together.
