Democrats are starting to see some light, when they aren't obsessing about Trump. That light was that Obama was a very bad President. They realize that if they don't start to do something different, they will be devastated yet again in 2020.

Democrats Turn On Obama's "Establishment" Legacy As 2020 Approaches

Wow!
In short, Obama spent eight years "deferring a radical disruption" that the country was absolutely waiting for. And then Trump - an actual radical, came along and took the Oval Office away from the establishment.

Let me help... since I already know how some, who need to be spoon fed, will respond.

HOPE VS. CHANGE: WHY SOME DEMOCRATS ARE TURNING ON OBAMA’S LEGACY

Opening paragraph...

If no one seems to care that Elizabeth Warren has made her candidacy for president semi-official, let it also be said that no one seems to care that Joe Biden is about to do the same. As the public’s attention starts to focus on the primaries of 2020—God, didn’t we just do this?—many Democrats are acting as if Donald Trump, who’s having a good day when his approval ratings stay in the 40s, would beat most of the field. Maybe that’s because they’re still recovering from the shock of 2016. But maybe it’s more serious than that. If today’s Democrats can’t beat Trump, then maybe Hillary Clinton wasn’t as bad a candidate as her critics claimed. And if Clinton wasn’t the problem, then what was the problem? Such questions are behind a recent spike of debates on the left over Barack Obama’s record. More and more voices seem to be saying, either obliquely or bluntly, that Obama was a bad president.

so you're gloating over an article claiming Obama's problem was that he wasn't radical enough? I forget is today the day of the week where Obama was a weak shill or is today Radical Muslim? I forgot my decoder ring...I mean, maybe read the full article yourself before you rush to post the Zero Hedge interpretation if it Waldo. As a STEM employed individual one would assume you would get more facts/evidence before a post like this....

The Democrats do need to do something different in my opinion.

Rather than a member of the senate they should pick someone with a proven track record as mayor.

Eric Garcetti or Cory Booker.

Someone forgot to tell OP that Obama hasn't been President for over two years now. We have our hands full dealing with the walking/golfing/lying disaster infecting the White House right now.

Compared to Trump, Obama is a very stable genius and 1000X the man and President.

Well when they get tired of defending the DOTARD on a daily basis, they resort to attacking Obama and others to hide their shame.
