This is a great point. I would much rather have a president with a handful of crazy, completely wrong, clearly unconstitutional ideas than a president with a handful of just slightly wrong ideas that might actually pass. Congress and SCOTUS will block the truly crazy stuff; it's the borderline stuff that's dangerous.



Well, yes. The problem is that a president with crazy and completely wrong ideas is also more likely to have a whole bunch of just-slightly-wrong ideas because of his (or her) complete lack of rationality.


You're assuming politicians are sincere.
