What have Trump voters actually voted for?
- I'm gunna build a wall (that may be part fence) & Mexico is going to pay for it (Vicente Fox says otherwise).
- I'm gunna make America Great Again. Seriously: is there a soul on Earth that actually believes that means something?
- I'm gunna drain the swamp.

If a candidate runs on a promise to cut the unemployment rate in half, or shut Gitmo, those are quantifiable objectives.
Obama may not have promised to cut unemployment. But he did.
Obama did promise to shut Gitmo his first year in office. He tried and failed; obstructed by a belligerent Republican congressional caucus.
But these are rational, adult terms. "Drain the swamp"?! In this category of politics metaphors are meaningless.
Trump's very good at getting elected.
But being U.S. president is quite a different skill set.
Romney, the Republican's next most recent U.S. presidential nominee is on record as saying Trump isn't qualified.
"Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. ... playing the members of the American public for suckers. He gets a free ride to the White House. And all we get is a lousy hat." Mitt Romney R-MA
Any questions?
* The most recent U.S. president to drain the swamp was Roosevelt. Not Franklin. Theodore. That was when he took over building the Panama canal from the French. Trump is full of %$#@.
