Deliver NOTHING? What do you expect him to deliver when he isn't even in office yet? The American people elected Obama twice so clearly yes they will give a 2nd term to a liar.

If Trump actually does deliver NOTHING then fine he'll be out after 1 term, he probably won't want a second term anyway. And in the end if he does nothing he still kept Hillary out of the White House and that's enough.

Where did all those women that accused him of sexual misconduct go? If that were true, do you really think they would just fade away?
It is a fact that CNN pushed false agenda about Trump, and their viewership reflects that now. Additionally, the media promoted stories and polls that had Clinton winning the election weeks before November 8, and their hypocrisy was front and center by 10 p.m. on election night.

Do you want a continuation of the hostile, partisan government we've had in Washington for the past 8-years? Do you think its better if Trump (as did Obama) refuses to reach out to and govern the entire country, instead of just the democrats? Are you really in favor of the anarchy being demonstrated by those disappointed with the election results?

Contrary to what many young people who have only known the Washington of the past 8-years believe .... America does not have to be a culture of hate an divisiveness -- unless they choose to perpetuate that myth.
That's hilarious. Voting for Donald Trump is going to bring Americans together in shiny, happy, kum-ba-ya fashion. After all, Trump is such an open minded, inclusive, accepting guy, isn't he? I would much rather him be a backslider and liar who doesn't follow through on his extremist promises than the bigoted sexist zealot he brags about being now.

America's favorite punching bag, and the rest of the world's for that matter...

And who can't jump on that bandwagon, since what is easier than to find fault with a process involving some 535 people + POTUS elected to broker the interests of 350 million Americans?

I'll be the last to argue that term limits are not probably a good idea for members of Congress, if not simply to further ensure that entrenched special interests don't get too entrenched, and of course there is plenty of room for criticism, as we should when appropriate, but on the other hand..., a dose of reality is appropriate as well.

"You just can't please all the people all the time," and/or I wonder what any of us could say or do that wouldn't have at least half the general populace wanting to hang us from the highest tree simply because we tried our hand at politics. Again why our founding fathers decided on an Electoral College I think. The average citizen can hardly understand politics let alone deal with it rationally...

Trump himself can't actually prosecute Hillary, that is the job of the AG. I don't see Jeff Sessions dropping the ball on that one.
I think Trump is doing a decent job with his cabinet picks with the exception of Romney. We'll see what happens on Jan. 21, I guess.

If he was actually in office you might have a point.

If he was in office for two years and wasn't doing anything he said you might have a point.

As it is you are fearmongering in a delusion of your own choosing. Trying to make him look undesirable before he has been given a chance to do anything.

Why do so many want a plate of crow for dinner ?

The team he is appointing around him is encouraging as prepares to change the direction of the country in support of the overall vision he outlined.
