Not hyperbole, honest question. The racial division Obama helped sow is front and center right now. Do the democrats not realize this is why so many people voted for Trump?

Most people just want their taxes low and to be left alone.

It definitely brought out the more unhinged among them.

I do realize that sitting under a black president for 8 years made a lot of people lose their shite. I wish more people would be honest about it.

How does your little narrative address the fact Trump won the Presidency by winning over the states who voted for Obama...twice?

Weird how they only really lost it after he left office. I can't recall any Nazi rallies over the 8 years of his presidency.

If by "shite" you mean personal income, higher taxes, and more expensive health care, then yes. All the while being mocked while they were told to "pay their fair share" while "they didn't build it". If they spoke up they were called racists while Obama actively told his constituents to "punish their enemies".

But you live in an alternate universe. I get that.

I voted for HRC in the 2008 primaries because I knew who Obama was, and I feared he would do just that.

1100+ seats on all levels of govt lost 8 years later proved me right.

But folks like you are too arrogant and ignorant to admit the obvious, and it will continue to be your downfall.

The bought and paid for msm, the 4th arm of our democracy, is the greatest disappointment of the 21st century so far.

I don't think its him, it's the toxic rhetoric and unfriendly policies of the progressives and their doubling down on all of it AFTER Hillary lost.

Maybe.
I think the democratic leadership took his individual popularity as an indication of their collective popularity. It made them lazy and complacent.

You will get no arguments from me that we are currently a rudderless ship.

The Dems called anyone who went to a Tea Party rally a Nazi, so there's that.

I think they committed suicide. People are sick and tired of having race issues jammed down their throats every day.

Of course. And the one Progtard that's replied in this thread lives in Lilly White Colorado, but he will be MORE than happy to call you a racist in order to deflect from the obvious.

This is an excellent point. Never thought to separate him from party in that way because I've seen them both as one and the same. When you look at the numbers from seats lost to fundraising it's staggering

you want to talk about honesty...ok...if not for the white vote, he never would have been the first black POTUS...

he had the greatest opportunity since MLK to bring blacks and whites closer together and heal this country like never before and he purposely set out to divide this country like it hasn't been in over half a century...

He could have gone down in history as the Healer in Chief instead of the Divider in Chief...

if you want to be honest...but I doubt you do...

Was the Republican party fatally wounded by W's presidency? Honest question...

^^^^^^^This
It was their arrogance of forcing very unpopular agendas down the throats of Americans. Mary Landrieu lost her Senate seat after 18 years solely because of Obamacare, something she wasn't even vocal about, but did vote for. People want to be represented, the Dems abandoned representing "the people" shortly after 9/11. Bush hate got Obama elected and they just got so far out of touch before they realized it.

So all republicans are racist per your very small minded statement. Please keep this up because it will ensure a second term for Trump. Btw I didn't vote for Trump but after all the actions of Dems since the election I will be voting for him next election
