Good post at Stumbling and Mumbling on the constraints we perceive verses those that are real.
That is, they [US Democratic Party leaders] see public opinion as a constraint rather than as something it can change.
The Republicans realized this was false years ago. If public opinion needs to
change, change it! Send Fox News and the right-wing propaganda machine after it. It'll change. That's how we got Trump.
And this is true of Trump, who has never been constrained by anything in his gilded life.
All of which contrasts sharply with Trump. He's learned that being a semi-literate convicted felon isn't a constraint upon being elected, and he is acting as if there are no other constraints upon him - perhaps not even Supreme Court rulings.Although, he may be discovering one soon.
