3. The Heiress is a great movie.

When I watch it, I always think that the best thing that ever happened to Olivia de Havilland's character is when Montgomery Clift's character stands her up when she has her heart set on eloping with him. It was a reality check for her. If he had actually shown up that night, what kind of a bloody horror would her life have been like from that point on?

The supporters of that orange con man in the White House are in a similar situation now. They need a similar reality check. How painful will that reality check have to be to be effective for them? How painful will it be for the rest of us?

Our current situation is SO analagous to that situation in that movie.
