Julian Zelizer : A reelected President Trump won’t just have figured out how to better fight a healthy system.

Zelizer says institutions at nearly every level of U.S. society failed during Trump ’s first term, which is a big reason a second Trump term is even possible.

He says the failures were of both personal leadership and systems, both personal and systems.

Julian Zelizer : Judges have expressed concerns about Trump gumming up the legal system with frivolous process arguments.

The Supreme Court , meanwhile, has played along with Trump , giving Trump sanction for past actions and opening up new avenues for future chicanery.

Zelizer says the only major institution left is the American electorate.
