That didn't change Trump's behaviour. Maybe it was fortunate for Hillary that she lost. After all of the "Lock her up!" chants, labelling her as a criminal and a liar and suggestions that the 2nd amendment people might do something about her, how many right-wing wingnuts would have gone after her if she'd won?
But that's the whole point.
We know what we have with Trump.
He won't change.
Is the best way to deal with him to fight the battle at his level?
It might make folk feel good, but they'll be fighting on his turf.

He'll come unstuck by himself eventually...and watch his Republican support dry up.
It's only there as a thin veneer.
