In response to "Guys, I went through the same thing when Dilma was elected two years ago: I thought her government would be a disaster.." by Marlowe

I hope he is much better than anyone thought that didn't like him. I hope he surprises us and we have robust growth and prosperity.

He begins with a clean slate as far as I am concerned. I will judge him by the job he does. Like I have any other choice at this point.

it's horrifying to me that I hope he used his racism, his misogyny, his hatred to get in but then doesn't govern that way. - ty97 Nov 9, 16:39 11
- It wouldn't be the first time that someone got elected by lying his/her ass off.. - Marlowe Nov 9, 16:46 3
  - Lies are nothing new in politics, and he told tons of them. I just don't think those were the lies. - ty97 Nov 9, 16:47 2
    - Imagine the irony of a wall on our Southern Border when we spent decades to remove the one in Germany. - Bacon Nov 9, 16:49 1
      - at least the useless fucking wall will create jobs! (look at me being an optimist) - ty97 Nov 9, 16:51
- I actually think he's less of a threat than Pence. I don't think he cares about most stuff enough to do anything about it. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 9, 16:40 6
  - Pence scares me because of the religious element combined with forcing that upon the country. Trump is not religious though he tried a couple times - Bacon Nov 9, 16:44 1
    - honestly, I don't think the religious people much (cared / believed) he was religious. - ty97 Nov 9, 17:15
  - I'd like to think that, but I have a few concerns with it - ty97 Nov 9, 16:42 3
    - That also wasn't a defense of Trump, obviously. :) Just that Trump won't press on religiously motivated issues because he doesn't care. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 9, 16:50 1
      - oh I know it wasn't! - ty97 Nov 9, 17:04
    - (none of this is in any way a defense of Pence and his hateful record) -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 16:43
There is nothing that ive seen from him that would make me think he would be an effective leader - eag Nov 9, 16:34 1
- he does have some capable and competent people in his work life - not everyone, but enough that I have some hope that - b. Nov 9, 16:41
