He is craven, ignorant, greedy and narcissistic. He is NOT stupid.

He has no need of knowledge. The ins-and-outs of our Democracy are irrelevant to him. He is megalomaniacal and his inner beast is focused like a laser.

Bannon is busy consolidating his power. Every follower who isn't a meth-addled drooler has their eyes on the prize. Oligarchy or Theocracy are their aims. (His is just total, unfettered, unquestioned, dynastic power.)

The voter is already nearly irrelevant and becoming moreso day by day. Citizens United has made it possible for dark money to pour into our system from ANY source, foreign or domestic. Gerrymandering has gagged our voices and systemic voter suppression has shackled our ankles.

He plays with McConnell like a cat with a mouse,. He flicks his lizard tongue playfully at "Chuck and Nancy". They are distractions. His appointees are systematically dismantling "the administrative state" just like Bannon said.

We have one chance.. ONE CHANCE ... to get our Country back to it's mission statement. If We The People can't get one of the Congressional wings back under our control in 2018, our levers will have slipped through our fingers.

We will end up pushing a rock up a hill like Sisyphus.

That looks like fun.

His stupidity like his failed businesses and life is dangerously compromising the USA. A-hole won the EC because of rigging and inference by a foreign country with the help of GOPs. If the story about an anti-Christ forthcoming is true we are facing that reality.

His illness is always looking out for number 1 at any cost. He is a sociopath.He could not care less about the protests or the anthem, but they are a tool.

He's not smart though. He's "dull normal" who has been raised in a bubble of wealth and privilege all of his life and has no desire to get out of that bubble. He sees the world through that prism and doesn't understand OR CARE that 99.999999999999% of the people in this country don't share his background.

He's willfully ignorant along with those other attributes that you mentioned.

If we don't take back the House, or at least make substantial gains, we're toast.
But if we lose another SCOTUS seat, it's going to be more grease on the slippery slope.
