As for pure politics...yes, that does come into play. But if you had a President who exposed the bullshit for what it is. And flat out had the balls to say in front of the whole country:
"Hey, I'm making a deal that will give money to BOTH companies you're really representing" Then I think that would be a game-changer.

So far Trump has been exposing it out in public...as it should be.

I do think that it won't matter what the fake Democrats or fake Republicans are doing. They wouldn't be a match for Trump in deal making or negotiating.

One thing IS for certain: Neither Bush or Hillary would be able to do anything any differently than the same old "business as usual" that has screwed the country.

With Trump, that is not so certain. Trump might actually be in the unique position to CHANGE things.

But that's just you and me theorizing on a message board.
You are missing the point I'm talking about.. trump has no friends in Congress so he's not gonna get much done short of issuing executive actions.. Kinda like what Obama has been forced to do, due to Republicans in Congress being obstructionist. You guys moan endlessly every time Obama issues a EA, so will you do the same if it's Trump having to do it for the same reason Obama does?

Democrats will turn around and do the same thing as will many of the Republicans which do not like Trump. The president has his hands tied behind his back if Congress decides to fight him by obstruction.
