Donald Trump says that if he's elected, he'll fix Washington and run the nation like a business. People here are wondering whether he'd make good on his promise. Would President Trump fix Washington - or would Washington fix him?
Trump scares the Washington Establishment, an amorphous group of lawmakers, lobbyists, journalists, lawyers and others. If he were elected, he could up-end Washington - and break things.
"He's saying he could completely overturn Washington," James Madison University's Marty Cohen said, describing Trump. "Whether he could do it or not, it's still a threat."
Not surprisingly, the nation's capital has been reeling.
"I can't think of a president who represents such a change," said Michael Kazin, the author of The Populist Persuasion: An American History.
He said the closest analogy to Trump is President Andrew Jackson, who served from 1829 to 1837.

He is as intolerable to the Washington elite as Andrew Jackson was to the New England Brahmins.
Hillary is one of them.
I want to see a yuge wheel of cheese in the White House and all the common people invited in to eat it. I think that was part of Jackson’s inaugural.

I was wondering about him.
...I think that was part of Jackson’s inaugural....
That and a two week supply of alcohol. An inaugural celebration for the books.
The revelers eventually had to be kicked out of the White House.

The Washington elitss are n for a rude surprise come November 9th.
We’re counting on him breaking things. Big league.
I think someone will try to whack him.
Reagan had one Sam Donaldson. Trump will have ten, led by Megyn Kelly.
“She’s now way ahead in polls..”
Stopped there.

Trump scares the Washington Establishment, an amorphous group of lawmakers, lobbyists, journalists, lawyers and others.
That’s why we love him.
Which ones?
Just Damn!
We have got some witty people on our side!
That’s a pretty big deal. Almost as big as the MSM running with it.
Reddit is like FR, at 300 mph.
There is a reason that the richest Zip Codes surround Washington D.C.
Washington Elites, Political Hacks and Enemies of the People and the Republic, the whole lot of them.
He went to Florida this evening. Hillary’s Twitter I’d fill of quotes of him singing her praise.
