Trump campaign checklist

[Boomboom521]

1: Build the wall - maybe
2: lock her up - not going to happen
3: Jobs, jobs, jobs - looks like a check
4: Be more Presidential - not yet at least
5: Destroy the EPA - looks like a check
6: Drain the swamp - no for sure
7: Repeal Obamacare - probably
8: Make oil a priority - big check

I got him at 4-2-2, not bad for a politician

Started the thread to get response on if supporters are mad at Trump NOT WANTING TO USE "DRAIN THE SWAMP" ANYMORE.

He's starting to look less like a man of the people, and more like a politician everyday. But don't worry.....he's no where near looking like a President yet

If Trump could channel his inner Teddy Roosevelt, then I could be cool with his term as president. It appears with his negotiating with businesses that he can do what Teddy did, but Teddy was also progressive on things like the environment, worker's protections, consumer protection, etc. Can Trump do this or will he follow whatever the hardcore right tells him he can or can't do?

I think the man loves money and power. He will do everything he can to make the economy soar, because people will love him for it (and it's good for the country, short term, and to a degree). I'm hoping he appoints a central conservative to the bench. But outside of appointing a far right judge, I don't see him doing much else to please the far right. He is obviously banking in the economy to get him a second term. A lot of juice on the business side in that cabinet, so they should get it done. I still think long term, we have issues economically. It won't be sustainable growth.

1: Build the wall - impossible
2: lock her up - not going to happen
3: Jobs, jobs, jobs - Guarantee unemployment rate come election 2020 will be higher than it is today. I just hope it won't be a disaster but trickle down economics does not work.
4: Be more Presidential - Impossible
5: Destroy the EPA - looks like a check, unfortunately
6: Drain the swamp - no for sure
7: Repeal Obamacare - will be very difficult. You see record numbers have signed up through the federal marketplace? Repealing means getting rid of a lot of good stuff which Republicans simply cannot do.
8: Make oil a priority - big check

1: Build the wall - maybe

It's not going to be the Great Wall of Chyyyna, but we'll do something, if even just for show.

2: lock her up - not going to happen

I wouldn't go that far. The FBI is still investigating the pay for play stuff. I'm personally rooting for it.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Bureau "investigates" this until Obama and Lynch are gone and then presents their findings. If I was Trump, I would also not sit on it if there is indeed enough evidence to indict because I wouldn't put it past Comey to hold a Presser and say he is recommending it...

3: Jobs, jobs, jobs - looks like a check

This should be number 1 on your list. It is afterall, The Economy, Stupid.

4: Be more Presidential - not yet at least

Agreed, he needs to chill with the tweeting unless it's to bypass the press.

5: Destroy the EPA - looks like a check

Certainly reigned in and the better for us.

6: Drain the swamp - no for sure

I think only Bernie was sincere about that.

7: Repeal Obamacare - probably

Hooray for us.

8: Make oil a priority - big check

Sure about that?

I'm wary that he'll do as much to the EPA as some may think.
