Brushing him off as a non-threat because he's utterly ridiculous (but at the same time scary) is not a winning formula. When people like this get power, they abuse it. Which means, yeah, maybe he has to go out like Nixon; but, I doubt he'd have a gracious bone in his body. He'd fight whatever it was to the end. Or, he'd try to bully his way out of it.
Either way, he's bad for government and bad for our country.
Like arming rebels and going after Libya's Gaddafi and Syria's Bashar al-Assard hasn't already caused immense, world-historical damage to the Middle East and Europe.
Also, because of this, U.S./Russia relations are not looking too good.
Concerning domestic affairs, I fail to see how killing the republican party is good for America, because this is what the democrats have been trying to do since 2008 with plans for the amnesty of a few million illegals, among other things.
