Donald Trump's upset victory is being attributed to many factors, from Hillary Clinton being a corrupt and flawed candidate to the rise of the angry white male. Never mind that Trump secured more white women support than did Clinton. Maybe it was due to the FBI investigations and Director Comey's schizophrenic opening and closing the investigations. Maybe it was Anthony Weiner entering the race with State Department emails on his laptop. Or the endless WikiLeaks revelations.
What really gave Trump his victory is one person: Barack Obama. This election was nothing less than a complete and total repudiation of his presidency, his policies, his "fundamental transformation of America" that he promised and delivered.
Let's go back to 2008, the year Barack Obama was elected as the first black president, promising hope and change, along with a fundamental transformation of the country transformation that was in the eye of the beholder. He would be the first post-racial president, mending the racial divide that had ironically already healed enough for America to elect its first black president. The economy was in turmoil after the financial meltdown a few months earlier. He was new. He was "articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," according to his vice president. He even had the "perfect crease in his pants," foreshadowing a great presidency to a New York Times columnist.
The 2008 election not only gave us President Obama, but gave the Democrats a majority of state governorships, 29 to 21. That year, Democrats also controlled the Senate, 58-41, a seven-seat gain. Democrats gained 21 House seats, increasing their control 257 to 178.

This is not only true, it is factual. Remember when dingy Reid, as Rush refers to him, was majority leader, he did not send one to 0bama to have it signed.
It also took him 2? years to pass the budget
The last time the Dems had a good federal election outcome without Obama running for federal office was 1998!
2000 lost President - no Obama
2002 lost Senate - no Obama
2004 lost President - no Obama
2006 won Senate and House - Obama ran for Senate
2008 won President - Obama ran for President
2010 lost House - no Obama
2012 won President - Obama ran for President
2014 lost Senate - no Obama
2016 lost President - no Obama
There never was a “Coalition of the Ascendant”. Obama was a personality cult, now it’s over, and we return to the “old normal”.
It’s going to take the Democrats a long, long time to come to terms with this.
America finally got sick of being “nudged”.
Sick of having things the majority did not want
crammed down our throats in a heavy-handed partisan manner.
To the ash heap of history!
Just as the inept and mendacious obama will go down in history as the greatest firearms salesman in national history, he will also be recorded as the best friend Trump ever had.
But, but, but, but, but how could have all these election polls be wrong when polls show Obama’s approval rating is high?
In the 60 minutes interview, he seemed to not know how much the POTUS salary was.
Much more importantly, he used his own money and did not take nor was given any lobby money, no special interest money, no bank lobby, no military industrial complex lobby, no Chamber of Commerce lobby or immigrant lobby or energy lobby. Think of that, he is only answerable to us the citizens who voted him into office. This is unprecedented.
Those three, the Clintons, better watch their backs, they have taken alot of money from really bad actors all over the world.
It’s why the GOP hates him... they have NO control over him and he doesn’t owe them anything. :)
