your analogy can be expanded. Sometimes you put everything into a game and it costs you the game next week and the ones the next season..
Trump is winning by 4 touchdowns in the first quarter. Did you see the ceiling high stack of regulations on TV news today? Trump has obliterated 22 existing regulations for one new regulation.
Did you notice ISIS Caliphate is obliterated?
Did you notice net neutrality has been neutered?
Did you notice stock market is at all time high?
Did you notice job market is best it has been in a decade?
Did you notice unemployment rate is at 40 year low?
Did you notice American embassy will be moving to Jerusalem?
Did you notice North Korea did not receive any aid for throwing tantrums?
Did you notice justice Gorsuch sits on the SCOTUS?
And so on and on and on.
And Trump did all this without much help from the “likable” establishment politicians in the DC swamp.
Which “likable” president accomplished above items?
