Donald Trump ran for president promising to “drain the swamp,” but even his sometimes valiant efforts amount to no more than removing marsh water one tin cup at a time.

Three Supreme Court decisions at the end of its term last week remind us that the federal administrative state, not the elective offices, is the frustrating, sometimes abusive entity through which most citizens encounter their government. The next president should make it a priority to radically restructure and reduce the administrative leviathan. The virtual GOP campaign against President Trump must make massive administrative reform a galvanizing issue.
