Maybe, but not any better than any other reasonable alternative President. We still don't have a dictator system in the US, as much as some might wish we did. And thank God for that.
You honestly don't think he wouldn't have contractors on the border day 1....apparently the bill has been passed in 2005 or something but never used.
He has a snowball in hell's chance to 'have contractors on the border day one'. That's just cheap bar talk - or if I wanted to be gracious I would say he's just exaggerating for political impact. But, no, I don't believe for an instant that he could get the work started any quicker than, say, Ted Cruz, who is equally committed to securing the border with Mexico.
You don't think he would fix the VISA procedures?
Over time, sure, but so would Ted Cruz.
You don't think he would kill every ISIS person he could in a relatively quick time?
He'd try, sure, but so will Ted Cruz. This is easier said than done, you know. Trump is overpromising here, and so is Cruz. We are in a generational conflict; this is not going to be over any time soon. Our grandkids will still be fighting this war.
You don't think he would slash the budget?
No, I don't. Trump will not cut the budget and worse, he will try to get Congress to raise taxes to pay for his grandiose single-payer health insurance scheme.He himself has mentioned something like $2 Trillion in new taxes.
I think for this election those are the 4 items of most importance. If he did those 4 things and didn't do another thing, he would be a complete success. Don't you think?
These are all important, sure, but I would say that they are not the most important. My issues are: Fixing the corrupt tax code, jump starting the economy, and devolving the Federal government's illegal, unconstitutional and crushing regulatory regime. And fighting ISIS and securing the border of course, but these are givens. For me, Trump is second best on all these issues.

You’ll never get napscoordinator to see reality; he is still swooning over the loser.
We have a different outlook on things which is fine.
I know you believe that Cruz can do things, but what has he done in the Senate? I mean sheesh I know he shut down the Congress to get ACA stopped, but it didn’t stop. He is so hated in the Congress that McConnell will probably say that the priority is to make Cruz a 1-term president.
Trump is so good at negotiating that he can get everything done and not from the Democratic side but the Republican side.
Well have to wait and see. We won’t solve all the problems tonight nor even the next 4 months.
(I’ve only taken one of those issues - my wife is calling that supper is ready!)
Actually, Trump talks about cutting spending fairly often. My worry is whether he can get Congress to go along. Even Reagan could not sustain domestic spending cuts. I remember all too well the “budget(s) announced as DOA by the Dems in Congress”.
Have a good evening! :-)
