On the other hand, Trump manifestly knows how to get things done, just not in the government domain. The thing that gives me hope for better than "90% DOA" is that he also doesn't play by the current, or perhaps previous rules of the game, e.g. obsequious bowing to political correctness. Hmmm, let's see if he can kill off the Senate Launch System, he's made that a very explicit and reasoned goal (get NASA out of the "logistics" game), it's the right thing to do, but of course the pork barrel types in the Congress will resist. Strenuously. Also don't judge failure too soon, i.e. I think there's a serious chance he'll run against a "Do Nothing Congress" in 2018 and no doubt beyond to eject enough of the GOPe in it who already hate him with a passion anyway. Ah, if you want to help this, call your House rep early today, in an hour and half or so, and tell him not to vote for Ryan as speaker.
