The number of Obama voters who switched to Trump, in the Rust Belt, is testament to the Dems committing a fatal misreading of the electorate.
Moral of the story: If you promise change, you goddamned well better deliver.
Instead, the Dems served up the consummate Beltway pol.
I don't hate Obama, but he's pretty much your standard Democrat. The only change he brought was Obamacare and that he's half black.
Which isn't to say he still wasn't much better than a Republican. A Republican would have screwed things up with their "Tax cuts for the rich and massive deregulation creates jobs" motto.
His election gave me hope, but his administration delivered very little change at all.
