41. It takes time to change things. But stopping the corruption by the President

and others at the top will be the first difference.

It will take time to clean out the various institutions but at least they will have started instead of continuing it.

Blue states will get disaster relief.

They won't be an embarrassment on the international stage. You might disagree with their foreign policy but know that it isn't based on how they are profiting from it.

A huge part of the difference is just stopping what is happening. Getting laws to change things are more difficult but that will be what they work for.
