You act like a president being successful is always good for our country, nothing of which could be further from the truth.  I would say that hoping the president is successful depends on what he or she defines as success.  In Obama's case I knew that what he wanted to do would do great harm to the country so I did not want him to succeed.  Unfortunately because of the evil Democrats and the feckless Republicans he has gotten most of what he wanted.  I suspect very few liberals wanted GW Bush to succeed because they didn't agree with what he wanted to do, and they did everything they could to undermine him.

If Trump wins I hope he builds the wall and gets the Mexican government to pay for it.  I hope he works with Congress to reform our immigration laws so we promote immigration in a sensible way while elminating the ability of those here illegally from getting work so they will go home and return legally.  I hope does restore our military.  I hope he nominates an originalist to the Supreme Court.  I hope he does a lot of things that I want and if he does I want him to succeed.  If he ends up being a trojan horse and no better than Hillary or Obama I hope he doesn't succeed.

As for Bruce Bartlett, who gives a flip what he thinks?  Who made him the arbiter of truth or good sense?  Archie only quotes him because of what he said which objectively speaking is nonsense.  But hey, criticize a fellow Repuplican and you can get your 15 minutes of govt media and left wing nut adoration.....
