Trump didn't cause our constitutional crisis — he's the reaction against it

OPINION | Trump didn't cause our constitutional crisis — he's the reaction against it

Trump haters come in all shapes and sizes but one belief they all seem to hold in common is that the temerity of the American people in electing Donald Trump will lead, as night follows day, to a constitutional crisis.

What they missed is that the crisis is already here and it’s been brewing for years. It’s just not the one they’re looking for and, contrary to what Left wing commentators would say, Trump isn’t the cause of the crisis, he is the response to it.   

The swaggering outsider who promises to break-up the ruling cartel wasn’t supposed to win. How could he? But he did and that’s just not fair so they want to invoke the heckler’s veto that would overturn the last election — feel free to vote all you want, but if you elect someone unacceptable to the ruling class they will unite to destroy him and the people around him. Refusal to abide by election results is what creates a constitutional crisis.
