Many Democrats that are running for office or for re-election are refusing to appear at political rallies with failed, ex-POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama because they fear he (Obama) is the kiss of political death.
The truth sometimes hurts....but, the truth is still always the truth!!!
Remember too, the Democrats lost about 1,000 state legislative seats and control of many state legislatures during the Obama era. The Democrats lost the House and Senate in Washington during the Obama years. There are many more GOP state governors now than when Obama became president.
He many have been a dream president to the liberals, but, he presided over big losses for his political party in other ways.
