Obama: ‘Mr. Trump is not succeeding Me‘
Politico ^ | 4/08/16 | Nolan McCaskill

Posted on 04/08/2016 12:47:47 PM PDT by Mozilla

President Barack Obama in his most emphatic terms yet disputed the idea that Donald Trump will win this presidential election.

“I recognize that there is a deep obsession right now about Mr. Trump,” Obama told attendees of a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser Thursday evening in Santa Monica, California. “And one of you pulled me aside and squeezed me hard and said, ‘Tell me that Mr. Trump is not succeeding you.’ And I said, ‘Mr. Trump is not succeeding me.’”

Obama credited Trump and his primary rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, for exposing “some of the nonsense that we’ve been dealing with in Congress on a daily basis.”

“People act as if these folks are outliers. But they’re not,” Obama said, pointing to what Republicans in general say during interviews, on talk radio and in town halls. “They’re saying stuff that’s just as wacky as what we’re hearing out of the presidential candidates. It’s just nobody was paying attention.”

What hubris.

The idea of avoiding the sin of hubris is a concept of Western civilization. It is not universal.

What’s he gonna do, file an executive order? He better hope Trump doesn’t become the next President. Jarrett and others may be in deep trouble.

Since you can only ever believe the opposite of what he says, Trump is our next President!

I’ll tell you what, Barry...come November 8th you go to the poll and cast you vote, and I will go to the poll and cast mine and when the day is done, we’ll see who the people through the election process decides who is going to succeed you.

I have a feeling you and your ilk are in for a big, much deserved and shocking surprise.

Maybe he should let the voters decide.

I would love it if President Trump arrested this traitor, waterboarded him without prejudice, cut off his pensions and seized his assets and threw him and his grifter family out of the country. What a complete uber-putz.

yes he is, and I hope the first executive order is to reverse OBAMA’s first executive order, that sealed all OBAMA’S records.

We all have to remember, counting the ballots is really more important than casting the ballot.
My guess is, the ballots have already been counted.

He’s already succeeded far more than you ever will.

This is the same obsession the left had for Obama and I can’t even say those who love Trump are from the right.
We are in deep trouble and if Trump becomes president and can’t fix this mess we’re in deep. The people who cherish freedom, liberty, and limited government will go into a deep abyss for the next 2 generations. A Trump win will crush us and the socialists win.
God help us all.
