Obama '08 or Trump '16? Which is a more Monumentous Election?

Obviously, we know what we have gotten with Obama and won't know for some time what we've got with Trump. But, Obama was the first minority to become elected. Trump has never held public office, never held a military ranking, and took down possibly the biggest political machine in American history, the Clintons.
So, which is a bigger, more monumentous election at this time?

This, by far. And that's saying something, because Obama being the first black president was huge

Easily Trump
When Obama ran, you knew he was going to win as soon as it was announced he was black. The guilt vote was pathetic

Little did we know that the first black president would be followed by the first orange president. This was monumental because Trump was not a politician and he won the whole damn thing.

It was announced that he was black?

I just hope Trump actually does something with his win.

The biggest upset and the most consequential election of all-time by the greatest winner in the history of America.

To put it in perspective - a businessman with no political experience, little campaign organization and barely any spending, beat the largest Republican field in history, beat the nastiest media in history, beat the establishment, and beat the two most powerful political machines in American history - The Clinton's and Bushes.

Since 1976 - its easily been a Dem Country.
H.W. carried the wave of Reagan.
And Reagan had to win by converting Dems. Reagan Democrats.
Once he left, they went back.
GW was a shock but his opponents were total crap.
Obama was expected.
Nobody expected this. A non-politician, not even really Republican...TV star.

This election by a long shot. Not to take anything away from Obama that was historical in its own right, but this was a movement of the sleeping monster that was tired of being poked.

Trump.
Obama's was expected from the first day he declared. He was the liberal guilt absolution.

It's not even close.
8 years of Bush were building to Obama.
You could say 8 years of Obama were building to something...
But Trump?
Not really, Dems still own the country by popular.

MAGA>anything ever on earth

Trump, BIGLY
Posted on 11/9/16 at 7:29 pm to TigerFanInSouthland
The fact that Trump was the first president elected with no government experience, the first complete outsider, makes it more historical.

This! This times a million.
President Trump had all of the odds stacked against him and he crushed it, INCLUDING THE IN THE TANK FOR THE democRATS, LIE-beral, mainstream media. I'm almost enjoying seeing their sorry lying asses cry more than the libtarded shitlary supporters.
Almost....

But odds wise Trump winning was more improbable but that's only part of the OPs question
