Gridlock & EOs? How well would a trump presidency work?

One thing forgotten, but made more clear if you have been listening to Paul Ryan is that congress has a five goal agenda that they have been working on. They want to accomplish something and have been waiting for a Republican so they can. Obama blocks them. That give congress and a president Trump a reason to work together and negotiate. Trump is the best person to represent the people and put his vision into policy.
That f*****g wall is going up Mexico and you will pay for it one way or the other. Obama and with Biden who was just there apologising and kissing your booty days are over.
Grab your ankles your not dealing with cankles.

Did you know that Obama has vetoed fewer times than any other President in the last 100 years. And none of his vetoes were overriden, which is rare.

Don't you remember that John Boehner had to break the Hastert Rule (better changed that name) time and time again to pass any do-or-die legislation in the House because he couldn't corral the nutbags from the same party? It won't be any easier with Mr. Trump at the helm.

Maybe the wall will begin construction during Mr. Trump's tenure, but Mexico is not going to pay, directly or indirectly.

The President as Chief Diplomat has sole authority to abrogate treaties. Trump could pull the US out of NAFTA, or threaten to do so, in order to renegotiate the Agreement.

Note that both Obama and Clinton as candidates in the 2008 Election promised to do so, but Obama did not and Clinton did not use her position as Secretary of State to influence negotiations.
