Hypothetical if trump wins

[Pandaguineapig]

If trump wins in November, do you think it is likely or possible for speaker Ryan and congress to work with President Obama in the lame duck period to reduce presidential powers before Trump takes office?

The presidential powers are written in the articles of the Constitution, so I'm not sure what you're implying.

It appears that the way things are going for Hillary, that Trump can utilize the same kind of campaign LBJ used in 1964 (any political aficionados should read THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT 1964 to understand what I point to!); if say for example Trump selects Tim Scott or Mary Fallin he could inoculate himself from attacks by Hillary. She needs to think outside the box and make a ballsy choice for V.P. The optimum ideal is a Sarah Palin kind of boost, but not as negative.
