Maybe you’re right, but I also believe this country would not have been dramatically different if Mitt Romney had won in 2008 or 2012 (I present him as a hypothetical candidate in 2008 because John McCain would have been a total disaster).

It’s funny you mention that because, though I mention that I left Seattle for Kentucky in 2011, I actually bought the property in 2008, two weeks before the election.
And I thought McCain would win!
I just couldn’t believe the country would elect an utterly unqualified candidate solely because of the color of his skin. I was deluding myself and learned from that error.
But I thought McCain would have been a catastrophe. I think a case can be made that Obama won because McCain was such a poor option and Trump won because Hillary was such a poor option. But regarding Trump, I really do believe it was mainly because the Obama presidency was a disaster for way too many “rank and file” americans. Even black Americans.
