Is he just expecting to walk into the capital and get this bill passed? Of course not. A bill like this is going to take a massive amount of manpower both on the presidents side and the peoples side. Now that is fine and all, but what happens when being the President of the United States gets in the way of that plan? I have no clue how he plans to handle the numerous other issues that plague the US while also trying to pass the largest and most dangerous (to corporate elites) bill in recent history. He made some comments about Bernie Sanders being sucked into the campaign craft making promises that he won't be able to keep if he becomes president, but the issue of voter/campaign reform is an extremely difficult issue. To me he makes it seem that he is just going to walk in get this done really quick, and then step down. I don't imagine him being able to complete what he intends to in his first term, so not having a complete picture of where he stands on other issues worries me.
