It's the same rally cry. "Vote for Change".

Trump the other day told us about how he was going to fix the VA. He is going to appoint a new administrator to clean up waste and fraud, and save us money, and fix all of the problems. Sure sure. What he really means is he Trump would sit in on a few meetings, pick names from a list, maybe meet some of them, pick someone to lead, and then pray it doesn't come back to bite him in the ass. Clinton, Cruz, Sanders... Would do the exact same. That is how government works.
This is down to the voters. Voting for a President who promises change was tried with Obama, then for whatever reason the democrats lost a lot of seats in the two houses. Where his policies for change were blocked over and over again. Sometimes even by Democrats.

If Americans want change they have to keep voting for the politicians who deliver it, throw out the old guard over and over again. Whatever side of the Houses they sit on.

How many brand new politicians were elected last time around?

Stop voting for the people who have no interest in change.
