I reject that argument entirely. If there was no Obama there would be no candidate Trump. If there was no Hillary there wouldn’t be a President Trump.
The country was desperate for Trump because of those two.
Truth be (IMHO) President Trump is much more an old style Truman Democrat, than a Republican, that’s how he took over the blue collar working class. President Trump is also not a true small government politician, but is much less meddlesome to the average person than modern Democrats (who desire to run every aspect of our lives). This is shown in his rollback of regulations that hobble business and common folk and the (Kennedy style) tax cuts.
The modern Democrat party is now the party of the rich and privileged, who much prefer to lecture and condemn us “lowers” than actually help anybody (but themselves)... hence their disdain for the “deplorables”, that once were their core voters #RustyIrony. As the Democrat party moves further looney Left, their one core blue collar voters will move closer to the “Trump party” (formally known as the GOP).
