Obama was a silky smooth orator that managed to hypnotize most of America - he really did not do much that he promised. Trump after his stint in reality TV developed the skill of a finely honed actor...He told everyone what they wanted to hear...not much difference in these two.

It will be rule by committee as usual. As for things like building a thousand mile wall...anyone with common sense knew that was impossible...but the idea worked as far as duping those perturbed by internal displacement through rampant migration.

If that happened, then you should be able to prove it. Can you?

I didn't know that. Can you cite the source of that "fact", please? Thanks!

TV Reporter Leslie Millwee who last October claimed Bill Clinton assaulted her years ago. The WikiLeaks emails were mostly ignored or blamed on Putin. Yet any woman who claimed Trump did something inappropriate was immediately a news story.
Are you seriously suggesting that there were no media stories about WikiLeaks, the Anthony Weiner indiscretions, Benghazi, Clinton Foundation scandals, deleted e-mails, her private server, WhiteWater, and Bill's womanizing?

I suppose that opinion depends on which part of the media you are referring to. Last time I checked, Fox News was number one in the ratings. Are you saying "they did everything they could for Clinton?"

Wait. Trump hasn't even named half of his cabinet, much less been sworn in as President. Good grief, OP.

It appears the only thing he hasn't backed down on is his promise to evangelicals to appoint the most right-wing theocratic fundamentalists to the highest positions of power. That is a greater threat to us all than any of Trump's other promises.

It might be the best option - just think Hilary may have appointed her personal assistant whos mother is head of the female version of the Muslim Brotherhood. Rather have a Christian nut in a position of power who might be irritating at most..than someone who in time might grant power to those that adore damned Sharia Law.

I have seen no one call for Muslim law in the US.

Do you prefer the Christian Sharia favored by the American Taliban?
