Actually, the Fallible Founders DID anticipate someone as ill-suited as Trump being elected to the Presidency by gullible voters (Federalist #68). They wrongly assumed political elites like themselves would step in via EC/State Legislatures & an appointed Senate to prevent such a debacle.

They never ever thought Congress members would IGNORE their Constitutional duty & fail to uphold their oath to defend our constitution against enemies foreign & DOMESTIC.
*see Nancy Pelosi
It should be that way, but the fact that most are compromised keeps the code of silence. GOP is a joke!
That would suffice to start with.
The framers could not imagine that an entire political party would put devotion to a criminal & craven self-interest above country.
They were patriots & would be disgusted that a traitor was just elected instead of being prosecuted.
