Promises:

- Will deal with ISIS very quickly and take their oil
- Will replace Obamacare with something much better/terrific
- Will install a special investigator for Hillary Clinton
- Will build a wall at the southern border (and Mecixo is going to pay for it)
- Will deport 11 million illegal immigrants
- Will apply 45% tariffs on Chinese goods (and tariffs for Mexican goods)
- Renegotiationg trade deals and leaving TPP
- Will "end" (say, significantly reduce) crime and violence
- Will grant massive tax cuts for working people, corporations and the top bracket
- Will rebuild Americas military
- Will expand and renew infrastructure, airports etc.
- Will at least dramatically reduce immigration from muslim countries
- Will bring back about 4 million manufacturing jobs
- Will renegotiate the Iran nuclear deal


To which of those will you hold him?
Not trying to look for an argument or anything, I am just curious as to how you would draw the line here. At which point, eg. at which rate of promises he might not keep, will you be disappointed at the end of the day/term?

(And just a quick side question, I looked for promises regarding the national debt - its height being a major criticism of Obama/Clinton - but I didn't find anything. What deficit do you expect the US to carry after Trumps term? Really just interested.)

Campaign promises are just fodder for the flock.

I don't suppose any of us expect them to be fulfilled.  I'd like them to TRY to do it, but I don't think anyone thinks their guy (and especially the other guy) will actually do half of the things they say they will.

In the case of President-elect Trump I'd say he might be surprised about what goes into doing the things he said he would (especially the ones on Day 1) given his lack of political experience.

I also doubt any of his followers will hold him accountable if he doesn't do a single thing he promised or even tries to.

I think the tax cuts will make it through though.  Along with repealing the ACA, although I doubt with a replacement plan ready to go.  We shall see.
