Since Trump is entering the office without a portfolio, he will rely on the failed policies of conservative-Republican ideologues, which are contrary to the "promises" he made in the campaign. He will discover that his power as President is extremely limited. This will be a very bad copy of the GWB years - which, by the way, we have not yet recovered from. The electorate will be angry (they will not recover), will feel they have been duped, and will seek a "change" - but the joke is on them, since the people they put in charge are the people that fvcked them in the first place. Unless real election reform and redistricting takes place, we are doomed to repeat this cycle (I mistyped that as scycle - ironic, no?) over and over, ad disastrum.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
