I don't think it all begins with new legislation-it will begin with Agency leaders and the DOJ.
Under Clinton, we will have a DOJ & Agencies in the Leftist Obama mold. Law won't matter, only Ideology & Agenda will matter.
Under Trump, the new broom will bring in technocrats to clean out the "I can't be fired" crowd and an Attorney General that gets back to following the Law.
In dealing the current congress, what kind of legislation/initiatives/programs/etc. do you expect to be passed/ initiated under....
1. A Trump administration?
2. A Clinton administration?
In essence. What do you think they can get done in the time they are in the office?
Can't answer that until you see what Congress looks like.
Not that I really expect the House to turn blue but if somehow that happened, and Hillary took office with a blue Senate (which I think is very likely to happen) and a blue House, I think she will have learned from Obama's first 2 years and will be more focused on her agenda than on trying to find some unachievable consensus with congressional GOP who will only be more hardened if they are the minority.
A. Build a wall, increase Border Patrol, sent illegal families home to their country
B. Bring in more Democratic voters, increase unemployment of American workers, allow illegals to continue to be paid less than minimum wage and under-the-table
If Trump can't get Congress to do it, the American people will protest on Capital Hill until it does.
I think war will be one of the first and major bipartisan agreements under a Hillary administration. I expect that the rhetoric against Syria, Yemen, Iran to be increasingly aggressive and tax payer money will be poured into this endeavor.
In a general election, Trump will attack Hillary as a neo-con who never sees a war she doesnt like.

Well, if Clinton is an extension of the Obama Admin, then you should expect unemployment to fall the way it did under Obama.
Trump's plan to send immigants home is estimated to cost $600 billion. How do you expect to get that through Congress and what makes you think the American people will back such an expenditure?
What I think is that Trump supporters are all emotion and can't or don't have the ability to analyze the ramifications of Trump's outlandish proposals.
Whichever one is elected I expect the CIA to continue to run foreign policy and the business community to run domestic policy.
The red or blue house and/or Senate will continue to sit on their collective arses and raise money for their own reelections. There will continue to be minor dust ups to look like they are doing something.
The contemporary American non-thinker will remain ignorant about whatever is happening and how it happens.
