I hate to alter any part of Warren’s speech, but I can’t be nearly optimistic enough to say Trump never will be president. I know too many people who, at the very least, consider him the lesser of two evils, and too many others who will either justify or ignore the terrible things he’s said. Some of them are the same ones who said, “George W. Bush’s presidency won’t be that bad. He’s got people around him who will prevent him from doing anything really terrible.”
Trump’s candidacy brings out the best in people like Warren but it’s also brought out the worst in a lot of other people. And it may have brought it out in enough of them that he could be elected.
