The media will spend a year and a half covering a Presidential election campaign without ever asking the candidates the only question which matters.

The only question which matters is "Which Executive Orders will you pursue as President?"

It doesn't matter if the new President is Trump,  Sanders,  Hillary,  Cruz or Rubio.  None of them will be able to get a bitterly divided Congress comprised of bitterly divided idealogues to approve much of anything they will have spent a year and a half promising us they'll do.
The only real power any of them will have is issuing Executive Orders.
But no one in any form of media will ask them to tell us WHICH Executive Orders. 

What a farce.

How would they know? Keep in mind, Lame Duck President Obama is the first to abuse the use of executive orders. It's like forecasting which laws Congress will pass.

They're all telling us what they want to do as President.  But of course most all of what they're telling us can only be done with the consent of Congress.
However,  as long as the Congress remains bitterly divided by political party,  the President won't be able to get BOTH house of Congress to consent to anything.  If it's a Democrat President the House will block it,  if a Republican President the Senate will block it.

So all I'm saying is that instead of campaigning by telling us all the stuff they actually won't be able to do,  they should be telling us what they WILL BE able to do.  And that's whatever they'll do by way of Executive Order.
And my point is the media is not even asking them this question and is instead emphasizing all the bullshit that will never happen.

Let me try to illustrate this point with two examples.

First is Trump telling us a hundred times for the last six months that he's gonna build this impenetrable wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

So how in the fuck is he supposed to accomplish this when the Senate will NEVER give him the amount of money needed to do it?  And it might not even pass muster in the House either.  Horseshit,  Trump.

And then there's Bernie telling us about the same number of times that he's gonna make college free for everybody.
Yea right,  like the House is gonna agree to approriate the YUUUGE amount of money that will take.  Horseshit.

It's all like the Wizard of Oz.  And you Dorothys believe the wizards are real.  lol

More nihilist babyboom got to get it right now nonsense.....damn what a spoiled and soft generation. No a platform of policies never suggests that it will be easy......it is a goal.

What the heck does this "word salad" have to do with executive orders?

Welcome back, Markle. Listen up and learn. Read the chart:

The word salad attacks the premise that a President can only accomplish his platform with executive orders. Nonsense. It is not Seaoat telling folks it is nonsense......it is history telling them it is nonsense. Some of the most important legislation in American history has been passed by a bipartisan Congress. To suggest otherwise is uneducated idiocy.

Bob makes a valid point that we will continue to see a President and a Congress that does not work together for the good of the people and the executive orders will continue to flow.

Not idiocy, just how Washington works today in the era of extreme politics, lobbyist, and factors who never consider the American people but only their pockets.

So in your experience after you smoke, you become lucid and actually understand history and the real world. Keep on keeping on.

More idiocy......you just posted a chart which basically shows in the modern era executive orders are rarely used, but the biggest fallacy of Bob's which are many is that history has not shown us policy being passed in bipartisan action.....complete and utter nonsense. The attacks against President Obama have been hateful Dixiecrat rejection that a black man can lead this country. To the extent that stonewalling can accomplish that reality, they have stonewalled.....sorry, to assume that there is not gridlock in our history and cooperation would require that you all get on PPACA's pot run so get some learning about history and if that does not work....get high.
