I think the Republic is nearly finished - the deep state corruption has gone on too long - perhaps they’ve done too much damage over the last 50 years to expect a recovery.
Ideally, Trump would do two things:
1) drain the swamp, fix the republic, make it accountable to the people again going forward for our children and grandchildren.
2) punish those responsible, bring them to justice (the most recent ones anyway, those that are still alive).
But let me ask you a tough question: if you had to choose either number 1) or number 2), which would you choose?
It’s a no brainer - number 1) of course.
Number 2) would be sweet, but not if it jeopardizes number 1).
Trump is a tactical thinker and a deal maker. He is disciplined and capable of giving up something that would feel good in order to increase the odds of securing what is important.
Our problem is without # 2, there is no #1.
We had a two tiered Justice Department dogging a NAVY guy for taking a photo (classified “confidential”) and a crime syndicate running out of JD, under Eric Holder. Years later, here we sit. No thanks to Sessions, who clipped his own wings. And then there’s Hillary who skates away with aplomb.
