Nothing is this article changes Trump ability to deliver on his 5 point plan to roll back lobbying, auditing the Fed or renegotiate trade deals. Now if President Trump fails to keep hos promises, then CNN has a basis for an article.

Agreed. I'm not expecting much from a Trump Presidency, but if he can reform lobbying laws and foreign country campaign financing, that would represent probably the biggest step towards reducing corruption in some time, no? (I've already written off him getting term limits imposed. That's just not going to realistically happen.)

As with all the politicians, you're never going to get everything they promise before they get elected (how's the closing of Guantanamo Bay/the end of war in the Middle East coming along?) so you just need to celebrate the good parts that do happen, and hope for as few bad parts as possible.

Didn't want either of them as President, but now that Trump won, I am just trying to look at it as optimistically as possible. Otherwise I will just spend 4 years crying and butthurt to no end result. Who wants to do that? Lol... that's politics. Some good, some bad, and hope the good ends up outweighing the bad when all is said and done.
