Journal damn_registrars's Journal: Is Anyone Tracking Trump's Broken Promises? 34
Trump made a great deal of campaign promises, and he is already back-tracking on quite a few of them.
Raise criminal charges against Hillary Clinton? nah, maybe not
Repeal all of Obamacare, immediately? nope, not doing that either
Start deporting people on day one? nah, that can wait (note what the same article also says about the wall)
Can anyone name anything substantive he was planning that he hasn't already walked back? Should be an interesting "first 100 days", being as he's already been dropping things off his to-do list.

Sounds like a regular politician to me (Score:1)
What's the big deal? Find somebody that's any better.. The history of replacing politicians that break promises is pretty poor on both sides. 97% of them always get reelected, with two years of useless whining between campaigns, and any suggestion of voting them out being brushed off. So, suck it up.

More so I'm wondering how many of his followers are paying any attention to the fact that their revolutionary "new guy" is behaving just like any other old guy.
What are they going to do? Vote democrat? Hopefully not next time, but I know that's a pipe dream. It will be the usual back and forth and 97% reelection in congress. I just have to accept this is the foreseeable future. But before drawing any conclusions, we should wait until at least January 21.

The democrats merely need to get the people who voted for Obama in 2012 and stayed home in 2016 to come out and vote in 2018 and 2020 and they'll have it.
Have what? Another victory? We don't want democrats any more than we want republicans.
The democrats did themselves in by putting up a candidate for POTUS who was so greatly un-liked.
Exactly. So why should more people come out and vote for their machine politicians? I ask that they come out and vote for independents. Let's get rid of the democrats and repub

Their platform isn't so different, keep and properly fund social security, real universal health care, real transparency in official business with real public oversight, reduction of bureaucratic meddling, tell Wall Street to go to hell, of course there's the prohibition issue, etc. A lot of democrats make those promises, but we all know they won't keep them because they have to answer to the party. So, it is our responsibility to see if the third party candidate really *isn't one of them*, and vote them ou

real universal health care
I can just hear it now: Old crusty white people worrying about UHC taking away their vouchers. That'll be fun.
real transparency in official business with real public oversight
Then you'll love Trump! Don't need oversight when the man is the government! Phew, solved another problem!
