He was allowed the nomination and the win because he wasn't the threat to the system that the hysterical media made him out to be.

I disagree. It appears that he was a bigger threat than they assumed he would be, because he kept hitting specific targets that the right was already attempting to lose on. The level of subversion that kept needing to happen at all levels is pretty shocking. You had the military hiding troop deployments, the SecDef installing a coup, the DOJ head undermining him and allowing for the assassination of Epstein, and betrayals really across the board.

If he was just useless, they wouldn't have been fighting. If anything, it would have been a repeat of the TEA Party: purchased as controlled opposition, and then "moderate" and "electable" politicians placed in all the ground level victories. They're desperately trying that right now.

The bigger the office, the more institutional support there needs to be to win it and do anything of value with it. The institutional support necessary to support the Presidency isn't there yet.

No disagreements here.
