re: How do you think Trump is coming along with the swamp draining?

For me he's been a real disappointment, but it's not really a shock either. Huge roll of the dice but when casting my vote I thought what the hell, YOLO right?

Candidate Trump and President Trump are two entirely different people. He's dysfunctional but I knew that going in, what I'm disappointed in is the take no prisoners burn it all to the ground candidate is more concerned about his own insecurities than the disinfranchised working class whom propelled him into office.

Even more disappointing are his supporters. Leading up to the election it really seemed like the country was ready for real tangible change, that they were ready to start holding politicians responsible for a change. That's fallen apart and most seem content to make excuses for their "side" as usual. Being against McCain gives them the false impression that they aren't partisan because they're calling someone with an R in front of their name a cuck, but at the end of the day we're back to the same partisanship us vs them mentality that we've always had, hell maybe even moreso. On both sides everyone's positions on topics isn't based on anything other than what the other side thinks about it.

Is any of it surprising? No not really. But long gone is the election night euphoria of holy shite we really might do it, and now the US is as dysfunctional as ever. But hey, it's the libs fault right?
