This is my true fear.

Like...Trump makes W look good. He's now got this public image of a slightly daffy uncle. Like 2000-2008 were just "Earnest goes to the Whitehouse". As if he's as dangerous and malicious as Mr. Bean.

By extrapolating from there...there's gonna be someone that is gonna make Trump look good.

This progression is necessary, otherwise the Democrats would not be able to sell every election as "the most important election of our lifetimes." The escalation of stakes is required.
