Possibly but it’s interesting that so many Obama voters went for Trump. It could have been the perfect storm though as Clinton is a very polarizing figure. I don’t think most Trump voters (or Americans) are racist, at least by the definition of the word most people outside the university system today use.

> Possibly but it’s interesting that so many Obama voters went for Trump. They hoped for change ("yes we can", "change we need"), but Obama failed to deliver as he was blocked by the Republican Senate for six years straight (thanks to "Moscow Mitch" McConnell). Trump and his "we will drain the swamp for real this time" message was exactly the right thing to offer to this voter group, especially as the Democrat candidate was Hillary Clinton - as "establishment" as one can be. If there's one thing that Obama and the then-Democrat leadership abysmally failed, it is that they did not use the House+Senate+Presidency tripe majority to actually enact change in the first two years. I bloody hope that the Democrats can gain the Senate and especially that Biden will have learned his lesson!

  Never take a super majority for granted. I totally agree that if they had only two years, jam everything through.

This is where Trump and the now-Republican leadership failed as well. Unfortunately the mainstream media and the perpetual insane tantrums thrown by the losers have crippled his entire term. > I bloody hope that the Democrats can gain the Senate and especially that Biden will have learned his lesson! I bloody hope that the Republicans can keep the Senate and that Biden will fade into obscurity like "Crooked Hillary" Clinton!
