People have been saying that about every presidential candidate for as long as I can remember. Both parties say that about the other. I've long ago figured out we are not that fragile.

That's because long ago America was in fighting shape against internal threats to democracy. Mike Tyson hit on the jaw isn't going down the first, second, or even 10th time.

A hit like that again will knock America out cold. Guaranteed.
