Yet another trump campaign promise deep-sixed... 
President-elect Donald Trump is abandoning his "drain the swamp" mantra as he builds his administration and prepares to take the oath of office, according to Trump ally and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Gingrich, who throughout the campaign and since the election has taken on the role of a Trump ambassador, told NPR in remarks published Wednesday that he noticed the president-elect has shifted away from some of his campaign trail rhetoric.
The "drain the swamp" line – encapsulating Trump's plans to turn official Washington on its head – became a fixture of Trump stump speeches, while "lock her up" – referring to his opponent Hillary Clinton's long-simmering email server problems – was a favorite chant of Trump supporters.
