Judging you by this post did you even watch the GOP debates? Seriously The Rust belt always decides elections and it will for the next one


Of course I did. TPP is the only thing that was really controversial because the neocons support it. The 5 year revolving door ban is also unique to Trump. But going down his list, you'll see mostly core Republican issues like:

1. more war on drugs
2. anti Dud-Frank (us lefties don't like it either, but we want something more like Glass-Steagall and less like... nothing)
3. overturning Obama policies
4. getting rid of regulations
5. fighting ISIS
6. targeting refugees and immigrants
7. more oil production
8. anti-abortion policies
9. shrinking the size of government
10. anti-Obamacare

So, yes, only two of the things he bulleted for us are issues that other GOP candidates were either shaky on or were on the other side of the fence.

I'm not complaining. I'm inquiring as to how Trump voters feel about broken campaign promises. I just want to know how much you valued those things over the core GOP issues that any other Republican could have given you.

So u think Obama care will be repealed in 100 days? I mean i kind of hope so too just to see what happens but I wouldn't bet on a good replacement in 100 days like he said. I'd need to look but I thought he made quite a few first week promises as well. Like I said u can hold him to whatever u want

AFAIK politicians actually keep most of their campaign promises (something like over 75%). The promises that aren't kept are ones due to external factors, such as legislation getting vetoed or random, unforeseen circumstances.
