Pablo, I think you and beastie both have evaded the obvious in your summations.

The reason congress blocked Obozo at every turn wasn't due to anything more than a total rejection of his liberal ideologies he continually foisted upon us, many times with his "pen and phone". The same reason Hillary lost is that the very same electorate that had empowered a mid term shellacking early on in Obozos run and then again in 2012, then banded together en masse to make sure Hillary didn extend his BS into another term.

The election of Trump was really nothing short of the bulk of the country finally rising up and rejecting the liberal onslaught we'd been enduring through clenched teeth for 8yrs. I'd mentioned here previously Trump waddn my 1st pick, but he was my 2nd and his campaign endeared me to him even further.

I'm all for campaign reform, term limits, elimination of lobbying by those who have served in congress, replacing Obozocare, actually enforcing our border/immigration laws, tax reform, even if that means cutting corporate tax rates to the 15% he mentioned AND reducing taxes for the wealthy, who incidentally already pay 85% of all taxes paid (haven't yet been given a job by a poor man), and of course insuring the next SC judge is a conservative.

Those who think Trump wanted the presidency to make himself wealthier or more powerful, honestly man, that just dudn seem to make any sense at all. When a man already has billions and surely stands to make more before he calls it quits, that man already wields intense power.

Anyone who's watched presidents age intensely while in office hasta know the job obviously takes a huge toll on 'em, not to mention they hafta worry every waking moment about all the nut jobs scheming to off 'em at the slightest opportunity.

I could be wrong about Trumps intentions and I know just as surely many of his promises will go unfulfilled, only because I know the realities of our laws which legally limit a president to making his case to congress and the American people, then letting congress fuck it up, like they always do, with his only real power residing in his choice to sign or pass on bills congress submits to him.

The one thing I do feel really sure about though is that Hillary absolutely wanted the office for all the wrong reasons and is ill suited for the work to begin with, not even getting to the part where I absolutely reject her liberalist principles to begin with
