Even If Biden Wins, President Trump's Agenda Will Endure As Obama-Era Gridlock Returns To Washington

Speaking on CNBC Thursday morning, pollster Frank Luntz said he believes the election could be called by noon on Thursday, but he said credibility is already starting to concern him, as Republicans worry about voter fraud, and Dems accuse the GOP of voter suppression. According to Luntz, winning PA won't be enough for Trump. He needs to take Nevada. "That's where the battle will be seen, in Nevada," Luntz said. Arizona, which is back in play, is reportedly leaning toward Biden. But while th MSM continues to report Biden has a slight edge, his lead in the EC isn't large enough to say that with confidence: The vote is a nailbiter - there's no other way to characterize it.

But as both Luntz and Bloomberg pointed out, even if Biden wins, gridlock will remain the order of the day. And the prospects for a stimulus deal, something that Wall Street had seemingly pinned its hopes on after Bill Dudley essentially urged the Fed to crash the market as a cudgel to force Congress to take action.https://www.zerohedge.com/political/even-if-biden-wins-president-trumps-agenda-will-endure-obama-era-gridlock-returns

Good. The point of our government is to have some gridlock, so that they can only agree on the most important, least extreme stuff.

Much of the Trump agenda was with executive action which can all be reversed absent legislation from congress. Everything from lowering regulations to border security, tariffs, immigration... on and on... gone with a stroke of a Biden pen. Reversing tax cuts would of course require congress to act, but much of what you hear Trump talking about at his rallies can be reversed by a Biden admin if he becomes president.

Exactly. Things enacted by edict can be dismantled by the same.
