I think we've got a case of legacy fever here, more than anything else. Much like how Obama was effectively willing to trade anything for an agreement with Iran, so too will Trump likely be not only willing, but extend every effort into enacting the policies he's proposing.
One of the largest appealing aspects of Trump winning isn't his policies, however. It is the apparatus he's developed with his team to crunch through tens of thousands of resumes and applications. That means hundreds, if not thousands, of appointments a new president makes won't be determined by a tired 4 man political team in a hotel room, but conducted based upon skills and suitability for the job.
That alone should reshape the federal government, and prevent many of the massive backstabs appointed political hacks have given to incoming presidents in the past. Sure, a couple bad apples will squeak in, but since most of those positions won't be filled with the grandson of the Speaker or his second niece, etc, there will be little protection that would prevent their being fired.
I have to look at Trump as a long term investment - short term, I don't expect to get much of what I want, longer term, I expect some pretty hefty dividends, even if Potomac fever sets in.
The vetting process can be daunting.
