Hon. Donald J. Trump won NC by the largest percentage since 2004.
I was unaware Trump ran in 2004.
Whatever the "since 2004" means, it still wasn't a landslide. Yes, a lot of rural areas went for him, but there were plenty of blue and purple areas, too.
This isn't exactly West Virginia.
Also, one cannot ignore the extreme gerrymandering in this state. I do not think he could count on winning it a second time, if he's not in jail by 2020.

No, he was supposed to do it through legislation passed by Congress. But since he "couldn't get anyone to agree with him" he resorted to doing exactly what he berated President Obama for doing. Because if the only way to do it was through EOs he would have done that FIRST, right away, not 10 months later because he couldn't get it done through the legislature. You know, like he claimed he would.
Oh, we understand Trump hypocrisy very well.
While I think that President Trump ultimately wanted Congress to repeal and replace the entire law--and thus have no need for him to have to overturn previous executive orders with a new executive order (that's the reason for the delay)--ultimately, it is nonsensical to argue that it is hypocritical to overturn an executive with another executive order. That's ridiculous. What is a different story, however, is creating new "law" via executive order without giving Congress the chance the act as an initial matter. But that is hardly what we are dealing with here.
You're right about one thing--EOs are literally all Trump is doing. Has there ever been a more ineffectual first year of a presidency in the history of our country? I don't think so.
Funny stuff! Explain to me why the Leftists are in a Total Hysterical Meltdown over an "ineffectual" President?
IF he is really doing nothing ...... why the Hysteria and never ending Anti-Trump vilification in the Leftist Press?
I would think that the Leftists would love a "do nothing" President.

His total and complete incompetency is the one thing I like about Mr. Trump.

That's good & we are making some progress - does this mean Leftists will stop with the Mass Hysteria, since Mr Trump is too "ineffective" to do anything at all? This should be exactly what you want - "ineffectual".
I know that I was always thrilled to see Obama doing parties, trips and rallies.
When they are "ineffectual", they are not doing any harm - it's why we only allow the Texas CongressCritters to get together in the Texas Legislature for 140 days ........ every other year.

Gerrymandering has zero impact on a statewide election. And, Bush won NC by a very healthy margin in 2004. All other presidential election margins since have been smaller than Trump's margin of victory, at a time where delusional leftists thought they had the state in the bag. I still get giddy over Chris Matthews proclaiming "ain't that a *****" when the state was called for Trump
So what was President Trump supposed to do? Let Obama's executive orders remain on the books
As @kevinm astutely noted:
Again, I don't know what is so difficult for leftists to understand about this concept.
Yuo low info's on the right don't get it - Trump has served up a big Nothingburger after 10 months in office and if you think tax reform is going anywhere guess again!
