Of course, larger macro economic forces make Trump's economic promises very hard to carry out. But his shortlist of candidates for cabinet and other major roles also cast doubts whether his administration will even end up trying.

The progressive wing of the democratic party now has more leverage within that party. Furthermore, http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/13/business/economy/can-trump... does paint one of the nicest images of Trump voters, implying the Rust Belt voters who most dramatically swung republican vs 2012 and 2008 voted Trump in on a Sandernist mandate.

So 2020 could be interesting, but man waiting through 4 more years of gridlock will suck. If it weren't for supreme court I'd love to strike a bargin of "4 years your stuff, 4 years ours", so we'd actually run a good policy experiment.
