Hugh Hewitt tweeted out the biggest accomplishments of the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress and the list actually looks pretty good:

The negatives are well known but the positives above are enormous, especially compared to what HRC would have done.
One of his followers threw in a few more:
Massive elimination of Federal regulations, ISIS nearly eliminated, Stock Market soaring to new records nearly daily, Keystone pipeline approved

Hewitt is right that the negatives are well known and we’ve certainly written about them here. But the positives doesn’t get focused on enough, especially in the media.
But truth be told, the list is pretty impressive. Sure, it could be much better with a repeal of Obamacare, but we’ll hold out home that they’ll get something done on that front in 2018 after they bail the insurance companies out again.
