It's not possible to be pure

But it is possible to be principled. They refused to abolish Obamacare, this is a tax break for the wealthy, we don't hear anything about EVerify anymore, and we'll probably not get the wall. Will DACA happen without getting EVerify and not including anyone but the "dreamers" in the deal? I'm thrilled President Trump disintegrated ISIS, but is he going to leave Syria now? Assad was better off before Obama's warmongering; let him put his country back together without our "help". Why is Ivanka still in the WH? Her and Jared's liberal views are toxic. And why aren't there at least some middle-class Deplorables in positions?

I still applaud what President Trump aspired to do. The swamp is murkier than we thought. It's the self-inflicted mistakes that bother me.

It is not possible to be pure. This republic has always been like this. There is a reason lawmaking is compared to making a sausage.

I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I'm sure it is a let down, but making laws is a lot different than living your life on your terms. Appreciate the 75% of what you are getting, instead of nothing, and then move on with your life. Enjoy your family and whatever you do in life.

Remember Trump is one man, who can't pass any laws on his own. Why people thought he could go to DC and order things done is something I never understood. You are correct, I don't think there will be a wall like the Great Wall of China, but the reality is it will be much better than we have now. Trump has done a lot on his own and we are much better off than if Hillary had won. So you need to think on those terms. But never think you will always get what you want from politics. Life isn't that way, so why should politics be any different. Be realistic and happy for what is achieved.
