Motley:  I don't necessarily agree with that old quotation, often attributed to Leo Durocher that "nice guys finish last".  Some nice guys do very well. In the field of athletics I think of John Wooden as a prime example.  Or how about Jesse Owens.  So, even in very competitive arenas, nice guys finish last, first and everywhere in between.  I agree President Obama was unable to overcome a GOP controlled Congress dedicated to his failure... 

We do know Donald Trump is NOT a nice guy.  As I have previously stated, IMO, he demonstrates the characteristics of a sociopath.  It may well be that a sociopath is "just what we need as a President."  I really don't know.  We'll, as you suggest, just have to wait and see.  regards, Gary
