It looks like instead of draining the swamp Trump is filling it up with alligators from Wall Street...stay tuned!
Ukiondoa WH, that's the situation even now. Inaeleza ugumu aliokuwa nao Obama kutawalaMarekani sasa hivi GOP ndo wanatawala.
Wameshinda White House.
Wameshinda Senate.
Wameshinda House of Representatives.
Wana ma Governors 33 kati ya majimbo 50.
Pia wana majority katika state legislatures.
No, it is not that simple. Unfortunately they don't have the majority of the real power wielders, the people. The fact that they have lost the popular votes takes away some degree of legitimacy from this claim.Marekani sasa hivi GOP ndo wanatawala.

Ndiyo maana nikasema, kuwa na senate, house, governors na state legislatures hakujafanya kazi kuwa rahisiUnfortunately they don't have the majority of the real power wielders, the people. The fact that they have lost the popular votes takes away some degree of legitimacy from this claim.
That is what makes America so unique...real power rests in the hands of we, the people. In 2008 Obama won overwhelmingly the presidency, the house, the senate plus the popular votes yet he had a hard time pushing his agenda forward.
Na sasa ndiyo tutapata fursa ya kushuhudia demokrasia ya Marekani inavyofanya kazi
How do you explain 'degree of legitimacy' when for example in 2012, Pres. Obama won by 5M in popular vote but Democrats lost the House? Did that take away some degree of 'legitimacy'?Unfortunately they don't have the majority of the real power wielders, the people. The fact that they have lost the popular votes takes away some degree of legitimacy from this claim.

Nachelea kusema kama Kuna Rais atapata wakati mgumu Ni Donald Trump. Aliyofanyiwa Obama yatakuwa Ni kama chai Tu.

Kwa upande mwingine that puts onus on Republican.
Mambo yakiwa mazuri watapata credit , yakiharibika hawana wa kumlaumu
Kuwa na senate na house bado hakutoi ulaini wa kutawala.
Kitu kimoja kizuri Marekani, senate na house kila mshiriki ana interest za eneo lake na vote huwa zinawabana sana. Mbele ya safari hutumika
Tazama kura ya Clinton kuhusu Iraq ilivyomwandama almost 8 years
Angalia rekodi ya Sanders kuhusu gun control ilivyomwandama
Na hata Trump akiwa nje bado kauli zake kama ya Iraq ilimwandama
Juzi tu Trump alipozungumzia kufuta uraia kwa wachoma bendera, waliokuja juu ni Republican kuliko Democrat. Hawakutaka kuunganishwa na first amendment kwasababu mbele ya safari itamgusa kila mmoja
Nafikiri 2 wapo due to retireOh halafu nilisahau...hata Supreme Court nayo karibu itatawaliwa na conservatives Trump akishateua mrithi wa Justice Scalia na kupitishwa na Congress .
Na impact ya Supreme Court ni kwa generation nzima.
Ever heard of gerrymandering? Because of it, it became very difficult for Democrats to win the house until such time congressional districts are redefined after Republicans lose most Governorships and this, believe it or not, will happen during this 4-year Donald Trump's tenure.How do you explain 'degree of legitimacy' when for example in 2012, Pres. Obama won by 5M in popular vote but Democrats lost the House? Did that take away some degree of 'legitimacy'?
Depends on what you mean by Real Powers but from what little I know, presidents can be impeached and removed from office...this could happen sooner than later.Trump has Real Powers just so you understand as per the constitution ordained and established by 'we the people'.
Wanna bet? Trump is already up in arms searching for some red herring to advance some theoretical hogwash as to who really won the popular votes! If it didn't matter Trump wouldn't need to turn to a scavenger rummaging through little dumps looking for illegal voters.Even though you keep bringing it up, popular vote results of 2016 doesn't affect Trump's legitimacy in a way that he can't take his case to the people.
Name one who in spite of their overwhelming win pursued their dream as a uniter and unifier to the extent of abandoning their base instead of pushing their agenda...not one.Historically, there are some US Presidents who found themselves in similar situation to Pres. Obama (2008) and they managed to push a lot.
No, the blame goes to Obama...he abandoned them to become a crusader of non-partisanship ideology which was definitely a non-starter for people like Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader of the senate at the time.Democrats should really blame themselves for doing nothing in those 2 years.
Especially for one coming into office with the kind of baggage Trump carries and just to name a few; history of business failure, racist smear campaign, outrageous claims and offensive statements, failure to release income tax returns...oh, enough to fill a whole container.We have witnessed it a lot and working with Congress has never been easy for many US Presidents even with Majority in the Senate and the House especially without a filibuster proof majority.
Yeah times have changed and it has just gotten worse for people like Trump. In the past, after inauguration, it could all have been forgotten but not during this time and age...the info and technology age.However, times are different and situations are not the same.
There has never been anything so easy to predict that one could just take it to the bank!It is easy to predict but difficult to retract. I doubt you can bet your last coin on that.

Talking of Maths, if we did the arithmetic Trump wouldn't be the president-elect and the Republicans wouldn't control the Congress and that's the harsh naked truth...! Remember numbers don't lie...it is the system that made Trump the president-elect and not the number of votes cast at the ballot by the people, the citizens of USA....If you do the arithmetic, you can figure out that Republicans would still win the House majority even without gerrymandering.

Latest Popular votes update...
- Hillary Clinton: 65,224,885
- Donald trump: 62,679,299
- The difference: 2,545,586
Believe it or not, with these numbers continuing to grow, President-elect is squirming in his seat...not because his presidency is in any jeopardy, big no, that wont happen...it is because American democracy has been put in a hot seat and the question is obvious. Doesn't the peoples' voice matter any more? If not whither democracy!
Incidentally El Jefe, are you aware of this?
When the Founders of the American Republic wrote the U.S. Constitution in 1787, they did not envision a role for political parties in the governmental order. Indeed, they sought through various constitutional arrangements such as separation of powers, checks and balances, federalism, and indirect election of the president by an electoral college to insulate the new republic from political parties and factions.
Do you know that at least 3 Million illegals voted in the just concluded Presidential election?

Dear reader, FYI
Do you know that at least 3 Million illegals voted in the just concluded Presidential election?
Ila tusisahau, Team Trump nao wametaja wasiwasi wao na matokeo ya States za Colorado, Virginia, Nevada, California na New Hamphire. Wanadai idadi ya waliopiga kura kwenye counties kadhaa katika hizo States ilikuwa ni kubwa kuliko waliojiandikisha na kwamba mamilioni ya watu wasio raia walipiga kura.
