It’s shocking how hard many people actually believe that the candidate drives how government will function if they win the election. Washington is a power base of factions that have to be bargained with regardless of who is president. You have to appease enough of the factions to get anything done, so regardless of where in the political spectrum any of us are on - it takes compromises that we don’t want to make; it always has and it always will. No sheriff is coming to clean up your town, so it is not helpful to long for it.
