Can Trump Deliver?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

94% : None of this is to say that Trump can't complete the working-class realignment of the GOP and hand things over to J.D. Vance in excellent shape.
66% : The border looks like it will once again be the area where Trump enjoys his greatest opportunity for success.
59% : As in 2017, Trump will enter office with many people in both parties somewhat stunned by his electoral success, though this time it is more the breadth of his victory than the fact of it that was the big surprise.
56% : But soon it will be the 2026 midterm elections and then shortly after that the 2028 presidential campaign -- and the race to succeed Trump -- will begin in earnest.
55% : But it's going to take a decent amount of work, and Trump will need to prove once again in big spots that he is more pragmatic than ideological.
47% : Trump has a mandate for three things: lower prices, securing the border, and avoiding wars.
45% : Yet Trump did win a plurality of the national popular vote, without any third-party candidate drawing more than 0.5 percent.
35% : Trump is also going to attempt a more aggressive approach to tariffs than in his first term, this time amid the aftershocks of inflation running at a 41-year high.
34% : The entire premise of Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign, and President Joe Biden's before that, was that it was impossible for Trump to win a national plurality.
27% : Trump wants some telegenic tough guys on his national security team, but will they be able to deliver no wars?
