Now what makes you think the president will be able to do much about the economy? Won't the president need congress too? What if Trump is the nominee because they will be afraid of a third party or GOP boycott called on by Trump? I mean, GOP controls a lot but can't control all the votes. If the GOP caucus is for Trump, it is no different than when the GOP caucus was for Tea Patriots in 2012 congressional districts. The GOP will just have to try to teach Trump and hope he catches on. Sort of like the recent Obamacare mandate thing. He said he was for it but the next day, in retrospective interviews, explained how that was a misquote.

I think Trump can get it but I also think Clinton would be okay too. She understands, IMHO, conservative basics to the point where she wouldn't offend the GOP in matters such as Wall Street. She gets how Wall Street is necessary for a capitalist society and wouldn't be for breaking it up like the socialist Sanders. Clinton has her liberal social baggage but that is acceptable because she is hip to the benefits of large corporations that are a national asset far more than they are a burden for reasons of jobs, potential economic growth and tax base to support those liberal social priorities. I can envision her working in tandem with a GOP congress in matters of corporate/WallStreet incentives to spur the economy for middle class Americans.
