Not quite. Obama was elected 1- because he is somewhat black; and 2- because he appeared to be educated and open minded. His obvious ties to homosexuality and communism were not considered important.
Trump is supported because he is 1- outspoken and not intimidated; 2- proven successful at building a vast business empire. His effectiveness at working with liberals to develop his business will not be held against him.
Neither are particularly emotional motivation. Both are rational, more or less.
I agree that Obamaism is the effective cause for support of Trump. The nation is apoplectic in its hatred of everything Obama and revels in Trump’s put downs.
You got around to making my point but you took a longer route.
Would you say that the above thinking is emotionally based or rational?
