A lot of politicians and their supporters want the other side to fail and bring the country down. Just to prove themselves right and get into power. When they do, they fail to do any better. Being in opposition is more about stopping the ruling side doing anything than improving the country.
Do you as an American want Trump to FAIL ??

I don't want him to fail, but he already has before even taking office. Many of his cabinet positions aren't even filled yet due to the incompetency of his transition effort, and lack of vetting. I'm not talking about the prominent positions that we see on the news, but many of the very important smaller slots to be filled in his administration. There's a ton of them, and they're still empty -- and they still will be next week when he takes office. And probably the week after that, and so on.
If this is any sign of how he's going to run things, then we're in for a major shit show.
So it's not even a question really of whether I want him to fail -- I have zero confidence in his abilities to be president. Less than zero. He's a fucking dumbass and doesn't know where he stands on anything because he's a con man that says whatever he thinks will propel him through the next few moments. I'm confused as to why any person can't know this when they see it, because to me it's as clear as looking at the sky and knowing it's blue.
Donald Trump is a sham and has always been, and you will all find out over the next four years if you haven't joined the smart people who know it already.

You're basing your opinions on what has happened in the past and those things have not worked. Our education system is rated 14th in the world, we're behind Poland? Thniking outside the box is exactly what we need.It is well known that I hate Trump. But do I want him to fail? Of course not. I honestly hope he does well. However, I highly doubt he will do well.
Everything he is doing is setting himself up for failure.
Appointing Ben Carson to run HUD is a great example. Trump says he wants Carson to run HUD because Carson is a "good leader". On the face of it that sounds like a good idea, but do you honestly mean to tell me that out of the three hundred and twenty million people in the United States Trump couldn't find someone who had some knowledge of housing and urban development AND was a good leader? Did he even try?
The woman he wants to put in charge of education is another fail. This woman grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth and has never attended public school, nor has her children. She wants to create some kind of school voucher system, so parents can place their children in a private school. What she doesn't understand is that the US government is on average $11k. No private school will touch that, and the aveage American family cannot afford to kick in "extra" money to combine with a "voucher" to put their kids through school.
Trump seems to think he is in charge here, and frankly, he isn't. He cannot just pick up the phone and call another country and reverse forty years of US policy by mistake. This was on of the first things he did, and he completely fucked it up. He doesn't seem to understand our intelligence agencies work for him, but instead he seems to be taking advice from someone outside of the US intelligence agency. You must be kidding me, right? The most advanced intelligence agency in the world and instead Trump is going to trust someone he barely knows?
This is not going to end well.Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

Betsy Devos failed miserably with her policies in Michigan, thats not the kind of "outside the box" we need to make America great again. Her husband failed to get elected because of the Michigan disaster they created, now she paid off Trump to get the secretary of education position to implement her failed policies from the inside. Why do you support Davos?Comment

Republicans have been siphoning off public education money for charter schools, that's what's been making public education fail. Hardly anymore sports, no recess, no civics classes, teach to pass the test, not learn the content because of lack of materials, it's a nightmare.
Christians who want charter schools don't want to pay for them themselves, they want the government to pay, and the parents of the child pays the school, so they get money from both ends.Comment

So you want change, but want to do it the same way?Republicans have been siphoning off public education money for charter schools, that's what's been making public education fail.

DONALD J. TRUMP?S VISION
Immediately add an additional federal investment of $20 billion towards school choice. This will be done by reprioritizing existing federal dollars.
Give states the option to allow these funds to follow the student to the public or private school they attend. Distribution of this grant will favor states that have private school choice, magnet schools and charter laws, encouraging them to participate.
Establish the national goal of providing school choice to every one of the 11 million school aged children living in poverty.
If the states collectively contribute another $110 billion of their own education budgets toward school choice, on top of the $20 billion in federal dollars, that could provide $12,000 in school choice funds to every K-12 student who today lives in poverty.
Work with Congress on reforms to ensure universities are making a good faith effort to reduce the cost of college and student debt in exchange for the federal tax breaks and tax dollars.
Ensure that the opportunity to attend a two or four-year college, or to pursue a trade or a skill set through vocational and technical education, will be easier to access, pay for, and finish.

KEY ISSUES
At the state and federal level, the United States spends more than $620 billion on K-12 education each year. That?s an average of about $12,296 for every student enrolled in our elementary and secondary public schools.
We spend more per student than almost any other major country in the world. Yet, our students perform near the bottom of the pack for major large advanced countries.
Our students continue to lag behind their peers worldwide in knowledge gained. [American Federation for Children Growth Fund]
Among 34 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development nations, the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) found 27 countries outperformed U.S students in math. [National Center for Education Statistics]
The same assessment found 17 countries outperformed U.S. students in reading. [National Center for Education Statistics]
Our largest cities spend some of the largest amounts of money on public schools:
New York City spends $20,226 per student.
Baltimore spends $15,287 per student.
Chicago spends $11,976 per student.
Los Angeles spends $10,602 per student.
School choice is vital to reverse inequities in education and failing government schools in Democrat-controlled inner cities. According to the National Assessment of Education Progress, only one in six African-American students in the eighth grade are considered proficient in math and reading. In 2016, over 2 million high school graduates took the ACT:
45 percent of all students tested met three or more benchmarks related to college preparedness.
Only 11 percent of African American students tested met three or more of the benchmarks for college and career readiness. [The Condition of College and Career Readiness, 2016]
It is time for school choice to help free children from failing government schools and close the achievement gap. School choice is the civil rights issue of our time.
CONTRAST WITH HILLARY CLINTON
Hillary opposes school choice, furthering education inequities in America and denying low-income African-American and Latino children the future they deserve.
Hillary Clinton claims Donald Trump?s school choice proposal would ?decimate public schools across America.?
It is no surprise Mrs. Clinton opposes school choice because she is supported by the staunchest opponents of school choice ? The American Federation of Teachers super PAC ? which donated $1.6 million to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation and more than $2 million to Hillary?s 2016 presidential campaign.
