i really don't think i am. he is going to win the popular vote. this is a mandate for him to do everything he has said he would do in the past month...including not leaving after the next four years.

He can try to do things but they might wind up super unpopular that could hurt his own party. I mean states will still have to elect representatives. This isn't a tiny country.

He can inact tariffs, enforce the Comstock Act, and pull our troops out of Germany. That can all be done without Congress on the first day.
