Column: Listen to Trump's former aides: He'd be far more dangerous in a second term

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

72% : Federal courts may be more hospitable, too, thanks to judges Trump appointed his first time around.
63% : The first is that Trump already has a track record of trying to do most of those things.
57% : "Trump "never accepted the fact that he wasn't the most powerful man in the world -- and by power, I mean an ability to do anything he wanted, any time he wanted," Kelly said.
51% : When Trump says he believes the Constitution gives him "the right to do whatever I want as president," he means it.
41% : "The second problem with the "believability gap" is that if Trump gets back to the White House, he will be more likely to get his way.
38% : Did those warnings from authoritative sources -- eminent figures Trump once appointed to high-ranking jobs -- have any effect on his voters as election day approaches?
38% : But many say they don't think Trump would -- or could -- actually make those things happen.
38% : He'll probably vote for Trump anyway, he said.
36% : He'll run into less opposition from other institutions too.Republicans in Congress, who occasionally restrained Trump when he was president, have purged most of the moderates from their ranks.
35% : Why do millions of voters -- many of them, as Trump might put it, very fine people -- blow past the warnings of figures like Kelly, Milley and Bolton?
35% : He tried to repeal Obamacare, but a handful of moderate Republican senators got in his way.
34% : So moderate Republicans and independents who are tempted to vote for Trump because they hope he will lower taxes or improve the economy should think long and hard about the risks of that bargain.
34% : When Trump says he'll order prosecutors to go after Joe Biden and "the Pelosis," he means it.
28% : When Trump says he'll punish businesses like Amazon if he doesn't like their owners' views, he means it.
23% : Not only do they dislike Trump's style, they worry about some of his positions: his desire to unravel Obamacare, his threats to deploy the military against domestic opponents, his indiscriminate tariffs, his plan to fire thousands of civil servants and replace them with MAGA loyalists.
7% : Readers of this column won't be surprised to learn that I agree wholeheartedly with Kelly, Milley, Bolton and their colleagues: Trump is a danger to our democracy.
6% : "The conservative, normally taciturn Kelly was moved to speak out after Trump condemned former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Adam B. Schiff and other Democrats as "the enemy from within" and said he would deploy troops onto the nation's streets to suppress opposition."Using the military on, to go after, American citizens is ... a very, very bad thing," Kelly told the New York Times.
