Well, I think if Trump were to overplay his hand by pursuing the Obamas and Clintons et.al. - his political power is not sufficient currently to right those wrongs - then what you would end up with is much more corruption and criminal activity as the Democrats wrested complete power back from him. He doesn’t have the political power to successfully prosecute them until he has much more support in D.C. And even then, it might be wise to focus mostly on the issues that got him elected, rather than pursuing past criminals. This corruption- It is the result and the cost of electing the people like the Clintons, the Bushes and the Obamas for decades. As a people, that is the price we pay for doing a very poor job in our civic duty. If we want to correct it we will need the diligence to see that happen over a very, very long road. One election won’t do it. One election can be a fluke...and I assure you that is what the Establishment thinks, and they aren’t giving in. It’s going to take more.
It’s going to be a long, hard road to get the rule of law back...it has been ignored in favor of Machiavellian power for the better part of at least five decades...the last three decades in earnest. One election doesn’t change that, or the power structure built up over decades. But more victories can begin to change it...if we are patient and don’t overplay our hand when we are still relatively weak. Now is not the time for vengeance.
Right, as the innocents cry out for justice. Thanks for your political 'concern.

Apparently you consider support of voters worthless, and only support be swamp dwellers to be useful. Secondly, Dems are a dying breed. This election will be a blood bath for them. They are going to lose as never before, so who gives a crap what they think or say.

How can "we" elect better people when, for decades, we aren't give better choices? Elections mean almost nothing when everyone running is a slimy swamp dwelling self interested criminal! Big money buys politicians and the tiny number with good intentions have not been sufficient to overpower the thugs. SO what can "we" do about it? Huge demonstrations in DC like the Tea Party ones? Calling/writing/emailing/Congressvermin? Nothing has done any good in decades.
And then election time rolls around, and we get to "choose" again between Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Big freaking deal. Add to that the election fraud and weaklings like Romney who threw the election anyway. So how are "we" at fault? I'm not at fault because I'm given the choice to vote between pile of crap A and pile of crap B.

"We" are relatively weak? Who is this "we"? One thing that will change the power structure is ....CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS! Which brings me to:
Now is not the time for vengeance.
Why in the name of all that is holy do you think HONEST FAIR JUSTICE is "vengeance"? Is it "vengeance" when a murderer or rapist is arrested and punished? Or is it simple justice and the rule of law? Nothing says housecleaning in DC - this "Establishment" and "power structure" than legal action taken against those who have committed crimes.
One election won’t do it. One election can be a fluke...and I assure you that is what the Establishment thinks, and they aren’t giving in. It’s going to take more.
That's why Trump will run (and win) in 2020...I'm not exactly sure who you mean by "the Establishment" but if you mean those DC vermin who have committed crimes, they need to be taken off the board by the rule of law. Second, they don't think Trump is going away, they realize that he has massive, unprecedented support among voters, and they are afraid.
If POTUS Trump had your viewpoint, he'd be building low cost apartments in Brooklyn and no one would even know his name. Now is not the time for vengeance.
It might, if said elected President decertifies the unions and fires everybody.
Thank you for those excellent observations.
