This Will Upset The Deplorables.

He is a billionaire so,

He claims to be a billionaire.  Big difference.

Don't care if he is, other billionaires like Mark Cuban think he is bat shit insane. And other billionaires like Nick Hanauer say that better worker pay protects his feedback loop. Trump is a fucking moron because he thinks wealth means automatic morality and it does not. He and the GOP unfortunately have successfully sold the bullshit idea that liberals are anti private sector and hate all wealth. No, what we hate is selfishness and jadedness and trust fund brats who got their money from their parents and think millions is a "small loan". It isn't even that he got his money from his parents, but for him to act like he is hot shit after all the sick vile crap he has spewed for the past 5 years makes him unfit, not his wealth.

When Obama started his first run they blamed him for everything too, during his two terms they blamed him for everything too. He killed the dinosaurs, sank the Titanic and killed JFK. Now it is Hillary's turn.

You know, for once I would like a positive campaign. Someone having ideas instead of resentments and actually running on their ideas how to change society for the better. Obama's 2008 campaign did fall into that kind of category. He didn't really deliver. Not even when the houses were still under democrat control. That's his major fault.

Dude was probably just 'disgruntled'.

Media mudslinging has gone on in American politics since day one even between Jefferson and Adams. But what is different this year is Trump combining Jim Crow McCarthism and WW2 German scapegoating hyper nationalism. 

No, Obama cannot control voter's midterm habits. Even a majority cannot get things done if there is enough of a minority to filibuster a bill. If you want to blame our brief collective power on anything it would still be GOP obstructionism and when you look at the average overall power by congress taking out the presidency the GOP has had most of the control on average since Reagan, and the majority power also determines voting districts. It is still up to midterm voters to give a president a congress they can work with but not just for 4 years, but a congress over decades regardless of who the president is.

He couldn't deliver because he was dealing with obstructionists on the right, he still did as much as he could and we are still economically better of now than 8 years ago.
