How about a comparison of Mein Kampf to Trump: The Art of the Deal?

Well, for starters, Mein Kampf is not the second best book ever.

What if one them becomes president? I'm scared shitless.

Maybe a Trump presidency would lead to a Constitutional Convention and we could get rid of our antiquated system. We are being hobbled by the Electoral College and the Senate's grossly unequal representation. The House of Representatives would remain as is, thus retaining the Republic. Making the Senate a nationally representative body and having the President elected by popular vote would finally make us a democracy. To be great "again" requires that we be a diverse one people.

I would also like to see a halt the the billions spent campaigning, and a limit to the campaign season. Currently at 4 years. I'd like to take it down to six months max.

What do we do with the freedom of speech provision?

If you're referencing the wide-open aspect of a CC, we guard the First with our lives.

The Framers specifically meant for the Senate to be less representative to balance the needs of large geographic states against smaller states with larger populations. It is one of the checks and balances to protect minorities from the tyranny of the majority.

So what? That was then and this is now. I'd say we are more in need of a system that protects the majority from the tyranny of the minority.

? A simple rule on an event. It does nothing I the "information or speech" delivered. Just a time frame when they can do it. Equal to all.

Am I missing something?
