How Barack Obama’s lowering of the presidency has helped lead to Donald Trump, by me in 2010: https://t.co/4kD3tnMJzA

Obama set the stage for Trump. Right. Not the GOP going bugnuts - complete with obstructionism to everything Obama suggests, no matter how reasonable. Obama won reelection in 2012, and the GOP took it upon itself to destroy Obama by any means necessary.

That’s on Obama? Really? If only Obama did more outreach, even as the GOP was proposing scorched earth tactics to obstruct and deny everything Obama did from 2009 forward.
