I suppose the best thing you can do is separate them and their money (which a lot of people will be and are doing since they are easy marks. Hey dummy, wanna buy a big pickup truck?) I'm a little more optimistic than that and hope that the masses see the wisdom in electing someone who can hold an thoughtful and intelligent conversation with other world leaders of their IQ and not some guy who wants to remind you every ten minutes that he was a POW so you feel sorry for him with a VP who should not even be elected a PTA chairman.
