Trump is making the same mistake most right wingers make. He is making promises he can't keep

He's going to be the "law and order" president. How is he going to do that? The country is too big. He doesn't have the control over punishment and enforcement that is needed to control crime.

He says he's going to beat ISIS quick? How so? He can't and he won't.
