    And again what does this have to do with anything we were discussing?

    Yes Obama is partly to blame, the reason is because he was black and a **** load of americans could not get over that fact.

    Obama is also to blame because of obamacare which allowed Republicans to have a boogie man.

    Yes the DNC is to blame because they took far too many voters for granted.

    Again what does this have to do with anything.

    No. Trump rose to power because of a number of factors. The most prominent was the culture wars stoked for decades by FoxNews and the billionaires who fund right wing hate radio and other right wing propaganda that always leads to the moral of the story that tax cuts for billionaires=good.

    Obama had absolutely nothing to do with that culture war propagated going all the way back to the 90’s, Rush Limbaugh, and Bill OReilly. He ran AGAINST the FoxNews culture wars and ran on unity and hope.

    Trump just seized on those culture wars and dialed the meter to 11. He launched his political career by using his celebrity to get on CNN and FoxNews by spouting the birtherism racist lie.

    Again Obama was not perfect but holy crap its an unfair stretch to totally ignore everything else and blame Obama for creating Trump. That’s insane.

    Why is everyone in Trump's circle a bunch of criminal scumbags?

    But hey Glynch was right about the Iraq war so his words are providence.

    I really don't understand this drive by sniping at Obama I feel he underachieved but he also got a lot of progressive **** done.

    This is a guy that was charged with insider trading by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this month. I doubt he's very trustworthy. I pass on watching what he had to say.

    I just listened to SD Gov. Kristi Noem again blame Democrat run cities forget the fact that we have a Republican President. Also forgetting the fact there were protest and riots, although small, that broke out in her own state. She also said the people that can afford to move have. Will I live in one of those “Democrat run cities” and I can afford to live somewhere else so do a lot of my neighbors. We are fine here even with the trouble tonight and would rather live here than in boring ass South Dakota.

    Agree that it is NOT TOTALLY FAIR to put all the blame on Obama. Fox and right wing hate radio over decades are a main cause of the f'd up mess the country is in. This predates Obama and goes back to the Clintons. However, Obama did for the most part put in the same old retreads of Clinton and continued the reorientation of the Dem Party from the party away from the working class to an orientation toward the top 10% and the donor class.
    Check out; the book "Listen Liberal" by Thomas Frank.

    I read that Pence reinvented Trump's Presidency with praise in his speech. Man, I can't wait until these guys are gone for good. Their imaginary greatness is hard to stomach.

    This has been the worst year in America since I've been alive.
