This is what has so far been 'promised' to happen after the coming inauguration. What are your thoughts on how this plan will play out? What do you think will be the real ramifications, and where do you think the party will deviate from what this man's promised?

- "Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics." This is especially troubling bc of the phrase "ethics reforms". It's already looking like the cabinet will be 'good boys club' of conservative insiders (links below), so I'm guessing "draining the swamp" means stifling the influence of the democratic party. I'm concerned about the rhetoric used to describe this bill. It makes me wonder how this administration will codify 'ethics' and how such a framework will be incorporated into law. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/11/11/meet-the-potential-trump-cabinet-picks-most-likely-to-make-liberals-squirm/ http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/who-is-in-president-trump-cabinet-231071
