'He's not going to be their savior': Ex-senator predicts Trump trouble with supporters
On the day that Donald Trump will be sworn in for a second term as America's 47th president, one former U.S. senator predicted that he would run into a buzzsaw of expectations that he won't be able to fulfill.
During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," before the inauguration will commence at the Capitol building due to purported weather concerns, former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) claimed a recalcitrant Congress and the reality on the ground will make the president-elect's job this time considerably harder than he seems to believe.
According to the former lawmaker, Democrats need to focus on his failures and ignore the distractions he uses as a smokescreen, and then added, "Focus on the fact that he is not accomplishing what he promised. He's not delivering for the people who take a shower after work instead of before work, he's not he's not going to concentrate on those folks, he doesn't even like those folks."

"They love him because they think he is a guy that says out loud the stuff you're not supposed to say, and they feel like they've been screwed over by the system," she continued. "He is not going to be their savior they think he is and our party, the Democratic party, has to focus on his failures, not his nonsense, and then stay focused on the cost to the American people."

"I mean, insurance is a big deal right now, right?" she told the MSNBC hosts. "It's sky-high everywhere; nobody understands why it's getting so high. There really needs to be some discipline around issues like that in the Democratic Party, because frankly, that's our bread and butter, that's our meat and potatoes, not this, 'Okay, he's going to buy Greenland' or whatever stuff he says just to try to get attention."
