Reddit mentions of Presidents and Promises: From Campaign Pledge to Presidential Performance

Others have responded about the policies you're speaking on themselves, but I just wanted to point out something most people overlook. It doesn't matter if they're a Republican or Democrat, Presidents once elected largely follow through on their campaign promises. Older literature include Fishel's book Presidents and Promises and Krukone's Promises and Performances which detail a lot of the period up to the 1980's. Newer studies, that have been neatly summarized in this 538 article, show that this is consistent with more recent Presidents as well. Trump following through on (in my opinion bad policy but obviously we might disagree) promises isn't an aberration, it's pretty standard practice.

>Most of the literature suggests that presidents make at least a “good faith” effort to keep an average of about two-thirds of their campaign promises; the exact numbers differ from study to study, depending on how the authors define what counts as a campaign promise and what it means to keep it.

If you did research and the experiment failed that would count as a good faith attempt.

I expect that means the only lies you tell at work are social lies to coworkers.

Lying would be either you didn't bother to do the experiment or you did and lied about the results.

We have had substantial problems in Canada and Ontario with politicians actually lying about campaign promises.

Not as bad as trump but still unacceptable.
