"Donald Trump makes a mockery of the Constitution. His determination to put the 14th Amendment in the trashcan of history should draw the most concern."
So says Clarence Lusane. And he's right.
But it should not escape notice that millions of Americans — Republicans — stand right with Trump as he trashes the Constitution.
And they're aided and abetted by "liberal" pundits.

Trump has proven eye-opening — or should have — for many of us, as we learn that a not insignificant proportion of Americans think the Constitution is optional and not the foundation on which our democratic republic is built.
And it should be eye-opening that a whole slew of "liberal" media types are right on board with this trashing of the Constitution — including 99% of straight white men on social media, who are suddenly Constitutional experts.
I am worried, and I am British, get a bloody grip America before it is too late

Righto, mate! Seems like our right-wing is 'avin a spot of the old fascism at the moment and things have gone a little wibbly-wobbly. Loads of us aren't exactly chuffed about it but I'm afraid the opposition party has gone a bit soft and won't raise the row that the situation rightly deserves. Its a real dog's dinner over here!
(No disrespect to British folks - just havin' a spot of fun)
