I'm not a Trump supporter, it just looks like he's talking about the phrase to me. I'm not a Trump supporter, it just looks like he's talking about the phrase to me. Click to expand...

The whole appeal of the phrase was that it summarized the idea of kicking out corrupt politicians and lobbyists in a catchy manner. Dropping it so quickly after it has served its (true) purpose is basically saying 'Yeah we didn't really plan to, it was just catchy, thanks for playing!" when all your actions are the polar opposite of said draining.If Trump were.. well a normal candidate I would expect something to go along with dropping the phrase. EG "While we will no longer be talking about 'Draining the Swamp', here's our plan for cleaning up DC Politics: ..." and just refer to the general action as cleaning up DC. Instead I expect him to ramp down on any sort of rhetoric/action very quickly.
