“A stupid and uninformed electorate have given us this man.”
You know, they’re right about this. I don’t think a person like Trump would have been elected had we not gone through two terms of Obama. Had the electorate not been ridiculously stupid and uninformed in 2008 and 2012, Trump, more than likely, would have never had any hope at winning the White House.
Also, Obama, for all intents and purposes, prevented Hillary from winning the White Hut. He crushed her in 2008 and his hubris over the past 8 years set the stage for Trump’s victory in 2016. Had Obama been a good politician and simply pay his dues in the US Senate like Hillary did, chances are she would have held the WH for two terms, and the media would have allowed Obama to coast into the WH facing some milquetoast Republican candidate like Jeb Bush.
So, not only did the stupid and uninformed electorate of 2008 and 2012 declare their War on Women and prevented the most likely female candidate to win the White House from getting her entitlement, they also prevented the Democrats from holding onto the White House for at least 16 years straight, and they also set the stage for President Donald J. Trump.
;-).
Exactly, were they not misogynists by throwing Hillary under the bus in favor of Obama? I never understood it- a woman, for 30 years in politics, former first lady, and she had to step back and give the Presidency to a man who was a Senator for a couple of years.
I hate to put it this way, but a electing a black man as President trumped electing a woman as President. The Democrats are so tied up in identity politics, they were willing to nominate a back-bencher from the Illinois Senate that stumbled into the US Senate simply due to the color of his skin.
They nominated a candidate that is quite possibly the least qualified for the Presidency in modern times. But, they got what they wanted -- someone that was willing to mostly play golf and do what he was told to do by party insiders.
His one "signature" legislation was rammed through Congress without a single Republican vote, and thanks to the chicanery they had to play to get it passed with no debate after losing the 60th Senate seat, it was one of the worst pieces of legislation ever enacted.
