The Heritage Foundation says that Trump has already accomplished 64% of his agenda, far more than Reagan in his first year.


During Reagan’s entire 8 years, he had to contend with
Democratic House majorities. Most of what Trump has accomplished is what any generic GOP president would have done, if he had majorities in the House and Senate.

What was special about Reagan was his political coattails. His being at the top of the ticket gave the GOP as 32 seat increase in the House (short of a majority, but a big increase) and a 12 seat increase in the Senate. Trump had negative coattails - the GOP lost 2 Senate and 6 House seats.

The 2018 mid-term is looking like a bloodbath. I’ll be glad to be proven wrong, but we’ll see in less than 8 months.

And you were saying Hillary had a 98% chance of winning just two years ago.
