Well, people won’t sober up to that. There are many here who view Trump very similar to a superhero or even a god. Some really believe if Trump speaks it, it will happen. Some believe a wave of his hand will fix whatever he is waving his hand at.


Trump is saying what many in America want said. Period.

That does not make him god, or a superhero, or give him the ability to magically fix things.

Most of us understand if he wins the election he will face opposition we could only dream would have faced Obama.

Knowing all this, what is the alternative, bend over and say “please sir may I have another”.

Do not confuse excitement over the message with hero worship, the two are not the same.

Thank you. I agree. He will face opposition on both sides of the aisle from entrenched establishment types who will fight to the bloody end to keep their power and perks.

However, I believe that he has an advantage they do not. All he'll need to do is go in front of the camera and say "You know, we want to do x, you said you wanted me to do x, but I'm not getting any support from congress. I need the American people to contact their congressmen and let them know what you expect." or something along those lines, and watch the phone lines melt down.

Please don't misunderstand. Obviously, you are sober, but there are others who do confuse their excitement with Trump's ability to change things. He can, but it will be difficult, particularly if the dems retake the senate.

In other words, it will take a mighty effort, a disciplined effort to enact laws and attempt to bend the will of over 2,000,000 unionized government workers to Trump's way of doing business.

Trump will need a situation near the beginning of his term to throw down the gauntlet. Reagan had the PATCO strike to establish himself as a no nonsense strong leader. Trump will need something similar and I think he will get it, but it is impossible to predict what it will be.

If Trump can expose just how corrupt and ineffective government can be and what he is going to do to fix agency A, then fix Dept. B and we need this law to fix this specific problem, I think Trump will have the support of most voters.
