Trump and the sharp pendulum swing to the right because of his extreme disdain for over half the country will always be Obama's legacy.

Trump's extreme disdain for (way way) over half the country will be Obama's legacy how?

I wasn't clear. Obama's legacy is going to be based on "his" (not Trump's) disdain for middle America and all things white. His decision to use identity politics to divide the nation into multiple minority groups united against whites is how I will always remember him. And there was a sharp pendulum swing to the right. Democrats as a group haven't won anything since 2010. This has been a direct reaction to the way Obama handled his first two years in office. Trump should face the same backlash in November if history is any indicator, but right now, the polls aren't reflecting that. It's hard to know what's true anymore, so I guess I'll just wait till after Voting day to find out what is really going on. And you're correct; Trump got about the same number of votes as Romney, except he drew them from different areas; more strategic areas. 20% of Trumps votes came from blue collar Democrats, a group no Republican has tried to reach since Reagan. A lot of people just couldn't stand the thought of voting for Trump (myself included) and never bothered to show up. I work in an office full of them, however, they are all on board now, not with Trump personally, but with his policies, that and they just can't believe whata the left has erupted into. I work with two guys that say they'll never vote democrat as long as the far left is running the show. It scares them. That belief is perfectly in line with how the blue collar democrats up north feel. The Democratic lean further to the left has literally left them with more in common with Republicans than what was once their own party. That's just my experience and thoughts on the subject.

I knew what you meant, just flipped it.

"disdain for middle America and all things white. His decision to use identity politics to divide the nation into multiple minority groups united against whites is how I will always remember him."

That assessment is simply untrue.
Ironic as well since you just described Trump's entire platform, except it marginalizes everyone not of a particular subgroup (South/Southwest rural, low skilled, less educated) of "white"

The last time a Republican won the Presidency via popular vote in the last three decades was in 2004.
Gerrymandering, used by both major parties but far more by Republicans, has gotten them control of both Houses. Party members for both have been hemorrhaging, but again far more for Repubs, which has been moribund save for some rural pockets. Democrat politicians differ from Republican in name only anyways, with the occasional blip from either to appease their constituencies.

I skimmed through much of the rest, seemed more partisan slanted and anecdotal based than factual.

The money R-E-T-U-R-N-E-D to Iranian C-I-T-Z-E-N-S was from individual private bank accounts frozen by Carter in 1979.

Try looking things up next time before lying.

I already know what you don't about it, so skip your flake news blip about it.
