Wow. I never thought I’d hear “President Elect Trump”. Or at least seriously doubted it. <\/p>\n

So what happens to: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Paris Climate Agreement? Obama signed the “agreement”. Our constitution stipulates the Senate<\/i> approves treaties and they certainly haven’t approved this one. Trump doesn’t like the “agreement”. Are we bound by it? Probably not. We’ll see in what way this becomes toast. <\/li>\n
  2. Obama executive orders entered under his “Pen and Phone” policy? Let’s hope many of these are reversed quickly. <\/li>\n
  3. Unbridled executive power? Let’s hope Trump either doesn’t follow Obama’s example in exercising it when he couldn’t have his way with Congress. Or<\/i> failing that, that Senate and Congress reign it in– in part, by realizing that bills shouldn’t pass quite so much decision making on over to the executive branch. Actually: let’s hope for the latter either way. We need checks and balances just as much now as we needed them over the past 4 years. <\/li>\n
  4. Obamacare? Should be toast. Let’s see what comes. <\/li>\n
  5. What else?<\/i>\n<\/ol>\n

    Update<\/b>
    \nThe NYT has an especially good breakdown of which groups voted for HRC vs Trump with gains\/losses indicators on the right hand side side. If I’m reading right, Trump did win the higher income vote and did not win the lower income vote; this is typical for GOP\/Dem candidates. Interestingly, relative to past voting patterns for GOP vs. Dem it looks like Trump made substantial gains at the lower income levels. From NYT<\/a><\/p>\n
