He won ' t be able to do half he says ? Infrastructure bill passing will do America some good , although Obama has been trying to pass it and had the problem of he ' s a Democrat so it never made it though the Republican controlled government . Some of his tax ideas aren ' t the worse . I mean it ' s sad that it ' s going to mostly benefit rich people , but the carried interest tax , an some other things might make things a little bit better . The Democrats might start making gains in government now that they ' re the odd man out . Historically , even against popular presidents the losing party manages to gain seats in government Carter , Reagan , Bush , Clinton , Bush II , Obama , every president has had the other side gaining no matter what so it ' s not like the Democratic Party is dead for good and will shrivel up . The midterm coming up might not present as main opportunities , but it ' s not unreasonable to think the Dems could gain . He ' s talked about funding NASA more . But other than that , I don ' t see many upsides . His cabinet positions are awful , it really doesn ' t help the he was just playing people , he ' s not that crazy when he is picking people that crazy for key jobs . Hopefully he ' ll be a one term president and the Democrats will swing back into the White House on a blue wave .
