I also hope that he staffs his cabinet with competent, experienced people.  I fear we'll get vindictive douches like Rudy and Christie.  Hopefully Bridgegate torpedoes Christie's rep enough to make him toxic.  If either one becomes AG, all the states that have legalized marijuana better prepare to see a drop in tax revenue when those asshats start sending the feds in.  I also hope that he doesn't just hand the jobs to his kids.

I guess I see some hope in that Trump is not a conventional Republican.  As has been said, he was a liberal through and through until he tuned 60 or so.  Perhaps he could truly become a president that transcends party politics.  I sometimes have a tough time believing that he really just up and changes his views on things like abortion magically, overnight.  The downside is that there's a huge possibility that he just turns out to be a Republican than spends money like a Democrat and bankrupts us with his border wall and infrastructure projects.

He babbled what he thought people wanted to hear.  I don't think he is going to make any big waves on the social front.  Then again after last night, wtf do I know?
