He’s admitting that Obama was a disaster and put it very well.
Any Dem who honestly wants to assess the Trump victory last year HAS to admit Obama’s failures played a huge role - the whole “fake news” rallying cry worked so well because it was obviously true. Most Americans could see things were getting worse, but we were constantly bombarded with nonsense that things were getting better.
Yesterday there was a discussion here about how Hillary was hurt by the fact that she couldn’t campaign on a “change” platform because that would be a criticism of the Kenyan Pirate; while some FReepers disagreed with this excuse, I believe it has some validity. She had to toe the party line that the failed Bolshevik Revolution of 2008 was in fact a great success - and appeared more detached than ever from the average working American.
