regardless, all the flowery pitches against demagoges, or any such word, has not led us into a practical solution for the very situation we face.
SNIP They believed uniformly that some men, though elected by the people, would be temperamentally incapable of serving the public interest under the Constitution. Therefore, they offered Congress the remedy of impeachment and removal from office.
The framers did not view the exercise of this remedy to be an anti-democratic act of nullifying elections. To the contrary, they provided the people and their representatives with these emergency powers for the specific purpose of rescuing our democracy and Constitution from harm and destruction at the hands of demagogues.SNIP
Not sure what you mean by speeches, as it clearly indicates that impeachment was the answer once they attained office. That we weren't able to remove him shows the clear problem of bipartisan politics not seemingly anticipated. It's very clear the only real solution is to stop him from taking office by the vote, and many of the red states have a thumb on the Republican side of the vote, and another thumb in the electoral college count, so we have to win by more than we should. But that was the compromise.
