Yes, I think we learned that last time.

I believe that Bernie would have beaten Trump in the general election even though more people in the country would support Hilary's policies over Bernie's by far.

Keep the American public ignorant.

I remember when Republicans were obsessed with the workforce participation rate. Even though Obama was creating jobs, Republicans decided that the participation rate was too low, something had to be done. Look at how much progress they have made!

I also remember that Republicans were obsessed with Obama's trade deficits.

Where are the leading Republicans on these two issues that were so critical just a few years ago?

They used to be on fiscal conservatism too. Now that the budget deficit is sky rocketing under Trump not a cheep out of them.

Yes, but, you left out another rather important one (to be fair, the list of things that Repubs pilloried Obama for but only shrug at when Trump does them a lot worse is a long one)-

It's letsrun speak: um, ever hear of the deficit/national debt ?

Remember:

"the deficits we are running are the the NUMBER 1 thing to worry about!!" ? And "we are going to become Greece, GREECE, I tells ya!" And "think of the children that we are burdening with debt. THE CHILDREN!" Remember? Yeah.

And remember when Trump promised to eliminate the national debt?!?! LOL. Instead, his budget is projecting adding an addition 8 TRILLION to what already exists over the next few years of his presidency. And the Repubs' reactions now that Obama is gone and Trump is in charge? Any talk of "Greece" ? Any talk of "The Children" ?? Nope. It's either crickets or "deficits don't matter...." (as long as the rich get richer).

Their hypocrisy is truly stunning.

Come back to reality, bro.

the truth is that presidents don't get elected on policy - all this talk of where people fit in on the political spectrum is silly. Presidents get elected on likeability and whether they are a change from the previous president.

Although things could be changing with a buncha really ticked off millennials finally deciding to bother themselves to vote, finally. They seem focused in inequality and enviro issues. If someone can own those, he or she might matter, based on policy.

Otherwise, we elect the most entertaining guy, the one you wouldn't mind talking to you from a position of authority for 8 years. It's sort of like us choosing a boss. We dont' want people like Eliz Warren as boss...we want someone like Bernie, Beto or Trump...someone sort of fun and loose.

I don't agree about all voters supporting who they believe to be the most likeable. With the possible exception of Mondale, the last super liberal candidate the democrats threw out there to get slaughtered was McGovern in 1972.

Trump is the boss from hell and he's hardly sort of fun and loose.

Hillary came very close to winning against Trump. I don't think anyone on the planet can describe her as "fun and loose."

Our libraries in Arkansas are full of titles like “The Roots of Obama’s Rage,” blah blah. Never saw the rage, but I saw lots of enraged racists who didn’t like him.

I am bothered by the bullying of OTHERS online or elsewhere, because I have a heart. I though am not bothered by LEGAL comments made to ME on a message board one bit...not even a little, so have at it if you like. I responded to that poster because I didn't want him to feel any angst by association. Now, if anything ever became illegal, I would come down on an offender legally like a ton of bricks. But name calling, telling me I play piano with two fingers...meh. I know what the truth is, and I don't have a need for anyone else to know the truth...other than when some sort of action is needed like removing a criminal President from the White House.

If you didn't know...

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

Obama launched his presidential bid at the home of William Ayers and his wife, both terrorist bombers. He probably got some rage by associating with that terrible duo. He also attended church and exposed his children for many years at a black nutjob and black separatist. He got some rage there too! How can anyone expose their children to such a whackjob?

Hilarious. You guys are STILL obsessed with Bill Ayers and Rev Wright?? My God man, LET...IT...GO.

And as far as Obama's "rage", the guy was is one of the least angry politicians I've ever seen. In fact, if anything, he seemed too nonchalant or lethargic or mellow. Rage?? Trump rages 100x more than Obama ever did.....every single day he hits twitter or gets asked any question he doesn't deem 100% fair or respectful.

You're outta ya freakin' mind.

OH, and psssst.....they called him "no drama Obama" partly because of "his patient, relaxed demeanor." They didn't call him BaRage Obama.

Do you feel you are being bullied?

Are you privy to when Congresspeople "rage?" Shelia Jackson Lee is the biggest nutjob ever and how many of you know she has fired more chiefs-of-staff than anyone else? Did you know that Shelia is a nutjob? You are not privy when people have meltdowns. Even Flagpole has meltdowns. Unfortunately we have to witness those. Obama has done okay in retirement. I will give him that. He didn't criticize his successor like Carter did who was the first to ever do that.

Dude, no idea what exactly/why you are trying to argue here.

Face it: Obama was not known as an angry person, or one who had a lot of rage in him. In fact, as I stated, he was known as the opposite. Of course that doesn't mean he NEVER got angry, no, just that was known as a cautious, deliberate, relaxed, calm person. The exact opposite of Trump who is constantly angry, raging, and getting in petty insult fights with everyone and every thing.

Tomorrow might be a little more interesting than a typical Friday:

I actually agree on a lot what you say. Obama kind of grows on you since he left office. And Trump does seem very angry all the time.

Meh...when you have a point, let us know.

It's too bad you post the way you do. I'd bet dimes to dollars that you're a fairly nice guy in real life and above average in intelligence. But it's posts like that are what make you look ugly. Obama won, twice, be happy about it.

If the US was truly more racist than years ago, he could have never been elected as there are more whites than any other race in this country. Calling people racist because you voted for him and someone didn't is simply put, wrong. What do you call an African American who didn't vote for Obama? Yes, about 7% didn't.

One could suggest that you voted for him "because" he's black. That's no more right or wrong than what you are saying.

Again, I'd bet you a super guy in person but using race like that is wrong friend.

I'm white and I live in the Midwest. I don't know one white person who was enraged that he won, not one. I know many African Americans as well that were happy that he won and some who hated Bush and some who hated Clinton.

This thread could be more civil without the word "race" being thrown around all the time.
