Well, at least they've learned their lessons from the financial crisis and they're not going to undo the safeguards put in place after the world's financial system nearly collapsed. Oh, wait.

It's like the whole administration has a list of all things that are or can be good for our country then they do the complete opposite of that. It's like they watched that SEINFELD episode where George did the opposite of his instincts and things started working out for him. But they don't remember it all fell apart because at his core, George is a loser.

Think of it as trying to gather Lessons Learned in support of the next one.

Honestly, I hope THAT'S it... but I'm waiting to see how the Mid-Term elections turn out. That's more important than the next election right now.

People need to pay close attention to EVERYTHING this administration does this year.

-C!

Hillary was the puppet of Wall St, said Trump. She was in their pocket. He campaigned as a guy who was against the elite, who was gonna back the ordinary Joe against the Wall St sharks. 

It took just 14 days in power to show just how much of a hypocrite this man is. 

Wall Street reforms are to be torn up; big banks win over customer interests. Financial meltdown apparently is an OK option, so long as we can keep those bottom lines swelling in the short term.

I have a problem with the basic concept that "he won". I think when we know Russia influenced the outcome with false news leaks and who knows, perhaps tampering with electronic votes or more, and the FBI tampered, it's hard to claim "he won." He ended up in the White House, the uprotests the past two weeks show a lot of people are upset in ways never before seen in this country.

His insane behavior and lack of thought into what he does means he's mentally incompetent (very possible), clueless (very possible) or everything is very calculated by mad man Steve Bannon (very possible).

Since the Republicans aren't interested in stepping up and putting party over country, we have to hope either things continue to go down the shitter and his popularity is such they feel he needs to be removed, or he disobeys so much they feel he needs to be removed, or he has a heart attack, stroke or complete mental breakdown and has to be removed.

It would be nice if his base got information from something other than Fox News, because as is, they don't see anything wrong, love the hate he fans, and have no way of hearing a viewpoint other than what they hear now.

Remember Bowling Green. Say a prayer. "sniff"

That one word makes a world of difference. The former suggests the Republicans prioritise country over their own interests, and I struggled to see what was wrong with that.

I think the biggest error Clinton made in her campaign was focusing too much on Trump's personality, rather than drawing emphasis on the policies he was going to pursue if elected.

Yes.  They brought up, then threw out "They go low, we go high."  Donald Trump got through the primaries despite his clear character flaws.  There were no votes to be gained on character issues.  The only thing left was to drown him in policy wonkiness - it might not have worked, but you get nowhere slinging pig shit at a pig.
