Two people just quoted you saying different so your doubt is unwarranted. lol
Actually, they do control the House, what are you talking about?
Let's be reality breh, Obama himself, the person that all these people hated so much that they just had to vote in Trump ,would have mopped the floor with that clown. Unless you're saying otherwise, the math isn't really adding up.
Rs were willing to shut down the government for things they wanted. Big difference between the parties I guess.
Impressive. lol
None of that changes the fact that the whole MAGA thing was and is backlash against Obama. You really think Trump would've won the primary in 2008 or 2000?
Republicans have always relied on racist rhetoric to win elections, so that part was a given. What was different that allowed for such a circus clown to even get a big enough platform for his demagoguery was the break down of trust in the media and in the political establishment. People outchea having to go on google to self diagnose and find ways to treat themselves at home while these politicians play games with our lives, they (we) are sick of it. It's the same reason why despite the bernie black out and clear media and DNC bias against him, he is in position to garner the same kind of reactions as these:
Even Yung Bern had to eat a whole ass crow. Can you imagine how he felt? Or how his supporters felt knowing that even republicans were trying to keep him from winning and failed? Any republican that understood what was going on could have appealed to the crowd of people who were 100% done with this sham of a political shell game and made good on it. (which is the real scary part)
The only way you could have countered that was with another populist, a REAL one and they decided to trot the wicked witch of the white house out there because...entitlement, she's American royalty after all.
How many Republicans voted for Bush in 00 and 04? How many voted for McCain in 08? How many voted for Romney in '12?That's because Hillary was a bad candidate who depressed Democratic turnout. Obama would've had more black/young turnout so he probably would've won.

This a good point, I to made those concessions for him as well.To add to my previous post...would any of you in here that supported Obama (like myself) have traded passing a private label republican health care bill and centrist governance for the progressive grass roots movement that he built on his way into office and then lost? I know I would have
I remember making every fukking excuse in the world for him, he's Jackie Robinson, his hands were tied...he'll be even more of a force for justice and equality. Once he's out of office and isn't bound to having to fight for every inch of 'progress', we'll all see the real Obama, the leader of the people...and then you realize what time it really was.
Imagine carrying that energy into the voting booth to fight for the Clinton legacy against Donald fukking Trump.
I want to put him on ignore but everything and everyone he stans crashes and burns. It's unbelievable, every single thing he's promoted has been a failure.
I'm not superstitious, I don't believe in jinxes but the moment I saw him stanning Warren I felt terrible because I knew she had no chance
A democratic successor, he built a Grass Roots election operation and let is melt away.
