I didn't mean anything about you. For years his name was nothing more than a wild guess.

Most people know him by "Deep Throat".

I gotcha, that was all before my time, and not something I have ever studied too much of so I don't think I would be in a position of making any comments about that history event.

The turn-out at Trump rallies vs. Clinton's should have tipped off pollsters (any that cared) that their polls were way off.
RCP polling average had Clinton at 45%

She actually won with 48%

They had Trump at 42%, he had 46%

Seems to me the polls underestimated both Bases, but neither was wrong in the sense you are arguing.

Trump's crowds didnt win him the election, he got less votes than Clinton.

i dont know if Sanders would have won, but what does holding Obama accountable have to do with that ?


You seem to operate under the a assumption that all left leaning posters agree with you, and by extension, President Obama. Neither statement is true.

There are things President Obama and a majority on the Left support that you dont. Holding him accountable means they like what he did in most cases.

But whether or not Obama was held accountable still doesnt have anything to do with Hillary losing or Sanders winning.

While I dont believe everyone votes logically( I know a couple of Anti free traders who case votes for Gary Johnson) voting for Trump makes no sense if you wanted to "hold Obama accountable".

If President Obama had done the things that Candidate Obama said he would do he would have been incredibly popular and even a corrupt Hillary wins. Things like Benghazi never happens. Hillary is a peace SoS as opposed to a war (failed one at that) SoS.

No, very few agree with much of what I believe. Some things are about to change but hypocrites don't have much sway.

The majority of the "left" do not support what Obama does, they simply refuse to say so. Enough in the end voted that way though.

What specifically are you arguing that candidate Obama said he would have done, and how would that have stopped the arab spring ?????

I must have done this 50 times.

He said he would end the wars. He didn't.

He said he wouldn't get us into new wars. He did.

He said he would prosecute the bankers. He didn't.

He said he would not continue to bail them out. He did.

He said he would end the revolving White House/Lobbyist revolving door. He didn't.

Need more? I can come up with more.

Probably not.
