re: #87 Hecuba’s daughter

Term limits for the presidency are probably a good idea — the position has evolved into something so powerful that anything else would be a true danger for the survival of a democracy. At a lower level — mayors, governors, it’s not as much an issue. But for the person who commands the military and our nuclear arsenal — that is a very different story.

The amazing thing isn’t necessarily that Trump is trying to become a dictator for life, but that it took so long for someone to try it. (FDR notwithstanding.)
