Thats not what i mean. Obviously the obama is a muslim thing is stupid. Im talking about things like how a president handles something like, as you brought up, deportations. Thats an opinion because there is no right or wrong answer about if it was handled right whereas you can dsmonstrate that obama isnt a muslim. Does that make sense?

It makes more sense, but there's still room to refine the point. There are measurable metrics we can draw (or will eventually be able to draw) from each administration's deportation policies. A great one to ask in 2015 was whether or not crime per capita dropped in those cities seeing most of the deportations. If so, consideration of other possible causes and further analysis of how those causes contribute to the status quo might give me an idea of how useful such a policy was for stopping crime and whether or not the cost of that policy is reflected in our results.

There are also those examples (Muslim travel ban, ACA repeal, and our recent interpretation of the border detainment policy) for whom the impact is immediate, and for whom you don't have to see their long term consequence to know you want it to end as soon as possible because the observable results are too unpleasant to be ethically or politically viable.
