that’s close, but I think it’s even worse than that. the parallels are “I’m going to fix the ocean”, and “I’m going to build a wall”.
there’s no real difference between those two statements.
I don’t think so. I believe the wall and Gitmo are very, very fair to compare.
Both need Congressional approval, funding, and action to happen. Obama had a Democrat controlled House and Senate his first two years. He was able to push through Obamacare without a single vote of the Republicans.
And yet he wasn’t able to close Gitmo? Why?
Because it wasn’t hugh priority for him. It was something he discovered resonated with his supporters and he said it all the time in his speeches. That promise alone may have been what caused him to beat Hillary for the nomination.
When Trump is elected, he will have a Republican House and Senate. He will be able to get one or two of his big goals through without having to deal with the Democrats. Is building the wall high on his priority list?
We’ll see. I know it’s the highest priority for his most vocal supporters on Freerepublic. If he doesn’t treat it like it is his highest priority, will they feel betrayed?
