    Wouldn’t it be awesome if we had a President that did nothing like prior Presidents, pissed off the long term political appointees and challenged the status quo?  Haven’t our political machines been in place way too long and need some shaking up that would make people in DC nervous?  

    What do you think the DC squatters would do if they ever encountered a President like that?  Wouldn’t it be incredible to see them get their ire up and being challenged by someone who didn’t play by their rules?
    is this satire? seriously wondering because one of the reasons for Trump was to have an outsider in the White House. how the fuck is that turning out?  do people honestly think Hillary was a worse choice? 
    This poster def believes the latter ,you know evil Hillary..

    I'd love a truly non-partisan president. Will never happen. But how great would that be? One that just runs the executive branch of the government without any bias towards either party. One that acts in the best interest of the people when needed (disaster relief, etc.), but otherwise, lets the Congress have it out among themselves, and whatever legislation gets passed, lands on his/her desk to sign or veto. 
    We could have that but everyone is too stubbornly glued to the two-party system, won't vote for or much less even consider third party candidates, then vilify the people who do vote 3rd party/independent when their lesser of two evils doesn't win.  The latter has happened to me on this very forum.  If we all stopped being slaves to the D-R System, we could have what you're talking about.

    Although social media would probably have to cease existence, though, too.
