Love it, but it would be a doomed effort on Trump’s part. Archie’s bigotry was based on ignorance and misinformation rather than self-serving, cynical malice. Trump trying to channel Archie Bunker would be about as successful as the late Ugandan despot Idi Amin trying to channel Flip Wilson as Geraldine.

(Wait'll he finds out the Smithsonian *didn't* actually send over Archie Bunker's chair but rather Martin Crane's chair from "Frasier.")

Yes, I was thinking of Archie Bunker all through the middle of 2016 it was largely why I never wrote Trump off (except for three hours post-{the "Access Hollywood"} leak, I'll admit that).
