Obama to come off bench for Democrats in battle for Congress

Obama isn't doing a very good job of "staying out of the political fray". No surprise there, though.


Trump should learn to keep his impulsive insults under control. You helped vote in a giant manbaby to destroy norms and precedent

don't cry about norms now snowflake

Clearly fake news. Doctored videos and altered transcripts. Why would Obama help democrats anyway? You're not gonna sit here and honestly try and claim Obama is a democrat are you? That's just YOUR interpretation.

Thats really the core issue. Obama was a once-in-a-generation political talent. He should have been the leader of the Democratic Party for several decades, culminating in the presidency. Like the role Nixon had for the GOP from the 50s through 1972.

Instead, Obama became president when he was just starting out as a politician, which was too early. His inexperience, naivity and lack of foresight made him pursue misguided policy and turned him into an ineffective president even though he had the potential to achieve a lot more.

Now, the Democratic party is in disarray, with no convincing leader and 2020 presidential candidate in sight and carried by pretty much nothing but opposition to Trump. Since Trump is a GOAT a making people mad at him, this might be enough fior them to win back the House in November, but the entire presidential primary will do the Dems no favor, and I dont really see them winning in 2020 unless Trump really fucks up.

I admit that the chance of Trump fucking something up really badly is rather high. But if he doesnt, I dont see them winning in 2020.

Thank you for your honesty at least.

Deep state (or in the NYT article i just shared in another thread calls it the "steady state") is ironically keeping trump from fucking up something really really bad. E.g. Woodward's book claims Trump wanted to assinate Bashar Assad and has to be talked out of it...
