"The next conservative Administration should embrace the Constitution and understand the obligation of the executive branch to use its independent resources and authorities to restrain the excesses of both the legislative and judicial branches."

The Founding Father's were weary of all-powerful executive branch, and they believed that the president should have very limited powers. In fact, the Articles of Confederation didn't even have a chief executive.

These people make a big about the Constitution and the Founding Fathers, but they don't seem to know much about them

His second term will definitely be worse than his first. Back in 2016, Trump was still a political novice, and he didnt really know what he was doing.

This time, he knows what he's doing, and thats a bad thing. He knows how to get his way and push his agenda

He's a scary thought: Trump might win the popular vote this time.

In 2016, Hillary won the popular vote by 3 million votes, and it sort of delegitimized Trump's presidency. A lot of people felt like he didn't actually win the election, and he didn't belong in the White House.

If he wins the popular vote this time, his administration will have a lot more legitimacy, and people will be more reluctant to criticize him
