No I don't, I don't think he's capable (and I mean that from a checks and balances perspective, not a "he's too dumb" perspective) of doing the things that have been done.
Unfortunately that's the way it is in DC these days, on both sides of the aisle. Most research for policy and new legislation is done through all the partisan/special interest think tanks, instead of the non-partisan sources available to Congress. The same people who have worked in that town for decades just rotate in and out of government, think-tanks & policy institutes, and lobbying jobs. It's all blended into the same thing. I hope a giant flaming ball of poo descends from space someday and obliterates the whole place. Except for the national mall, that's pretty nice.
