not anymore.

the republicans - especially ryan - are forwarding a REALLY unpopular agenda.....i say: let's have it.

since we can't stop them anyway, let them screw all the little people who voted for the first time just to give them the chance to kill the minimal welfare state of the US.

and if trump blocks those notions and instead pushes through a nationalist big government program.....even better.

would maybe help the country and at the same time drive the republican establishment crazy.

People need to toughen up. Trump will be a disappointment to his most hardcore supporters. He is a moderate at heart and will soon learn, if he hasn't realized already, that much of what he promised during his campaign will be very difficult to accomplish. I believe he will improve a lot of things in this country, but reality is slowly setting in on others. He made promises that many of us know he can't keep--similar to the many promises Obama was unable to accomplish. He isn't going to pursue charges against Clinton, he isn't going to do a lot of things and for that reason he may not be so bad after all.

he has got 2 advantages compared to obama.

1) he owns the republican party and its politicans, from ryan to the freedom caucus, are afraid like mad to be punished by his voters.

2) the dems are a center-left compromise party, looking for each opening to be important.

i am pretty sure, with the republican obstructionism cancelled, there could be a path to go forward.
