Trump is president; Who is to blame?

[abaris]

I doubt Trump will be able to follow through with all of his change rhetoric. The people were willing to roll the dice.

He can still do a lot of damage since quite a lot of his populous promises are in line with establishment republicans. Such as rolling back on any kind of anti climate change policies. The immigration policy also was a ticket most republicans tried to run on and his desire for banning all muslims will at least sit well with the religious right.

Far as I understand it, he will also be able to nominate and probably establish the replacement for Scalia at the Supreme Court. Since these judges are there for life, he can do even more damage by choosing a staunch rightwinger. Which probably, even more so given his running mate, will happen. On that note, he probably will also roll back on many civil rights and social issues, such as gay marriage, transgender rights and maybe even abortion.
