Opinion by Rex Huppke, USA TODAY -

So say you’re a political party and, on a whim, you decided to stop worrying about annoying things like “policy” and “governing” – BORING! – and just build your brand, cult-style, around one guy with a decades-long history of con artistry and a profound inability to think of anyone but himself.

Then say, for the sake of this total hypothetical, the guy who became your brand lost the last presidential election then not only refused to admit he lost but also wound up neck deep in a half-dozen or so other legal problems, ranging from “possibly inciting an attack on the nation’s Capitol” to “possibly swiping some of the country’s most sensitive top-secret documents and storing them in the basement of his gaudy South Florida golf club.”
