I stuck to my judgement that Trump would win the Presidency and I stuck to my view despite it being the minority view.
I don't think you understand what Obamacare is, I did post a reply to what it was pages back. He wants to repeal it and replace it with cheaper health care, nothing wrong with that policy as it has got very expensive since it's inception. I don't think you would like it if you suddenly had to find £800 extra a month, this is what many Americans are having to contend with at the moment as they receive their new bills for $900+ extra on top of what they paid before.
Gun free zone? There is no such thing. The 2nd Amendment has existed and majority of the American people cherish it. He is Pro NRA supporter, so he will not be changing anything in regards to it. Hillary wanted to bring in controls to it and ban certain guns, like automatic rifles and rapid fire guns. I actually agreed with Clintons stance, nobody needs to own a stockpile of ammunition or require guns that would do a small Army.
Abortion issue he had was that he disagreed with women having abortions right up to the moment the baby was born except if there was a risk to the mother. He is not completely against ALL Abortions, despite changing his stance 3 times on the issue. He was saying in a tv interview that he felt women should be punished for having abortions, but has gone back on that and appears to support a 20 week limit. Over here there is the 24 week limit and then abortion is no longer a legal option unless there is a health risk to the mother.

Iirc the gun free zone is in and around schools.
I said and knew he'd win also, there is a world wide movement of ordinary people that have seen the standard of living drop consistently since the start of the millenia whilst the people at the top get richer at their expense, any flavour of politician elected has only maintained the status quo so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the people turn to someone else. The next election to reflect this imo will be the Italian referendum
