Obama sure has won some victories with his pen and phone. But history will show that those victories were illusory. His policies have absolutely decimated the democrats at the state level and in congress. My instincts tell me that without him and his cult of personality at the top of the ticket the demos are one election from being fort her out of power than they have ever been.
The Dems have no second tier. Name a Dem governor with a shot in 2020 (unless Hillary! wins). They’re all weak.
