To which similar documents are you comparing it?

They are comparing it to Newt Gingrich's 1994 "Contract with America" [1]. It brought Republicans control of both the House and Senate, partly as a reaction to Clinton's 1993 healthcare plan [2].

That's exactly the point. No one has ever offered such a document, so say what you want about Trump, he's taking a step towards transparency and accountability.

Have you never heard of the Contract With America?

This isn't really breaking new ground. Probably, you're just more engaged in this election and this is better covered.

The contract with America is notable for being highly, highly unusual to broadcast your actual plans. Nobody did this before or after the contract with america until now.

Notable to who? you? Broadcasting your plans is called a "platform" and all major politicians do it.

I don't see anyone claiming he is original, so what is the objection?

HAHAHA come on dude, this is just a "first 100 days in office" plan, it's used by presidential candidates all the time. You can't be serious.

Transparency? Accountability? Are you kidding me? This is the guy that brags about molesting women and won't even release his tax returns. Did you see who is going to be in his cabinet? Some of the slimiest and shameless career politicians of all time. Christie? Gingrich? When have these people been accountable ever?
