I hear what you are saying, but I just see a repeat of RR-GHWB.
We got 8 years of RR followed by their undoing by Bush.
My dismay is, while Pence may go along with DJT while Trump is President, Pence will then be in the same position as Bush was, to undo all the accomplishments achieved during the Trump Administration....
All along, DJT’s overriding theme has been “Let Trump be Trump”. If he caved to his childrens’ preference, or that of his advisors, that could well cost America in the future. I guess time will tell.
My sentiment is with you 100%, Librarian.
