That's not true. He is much of the reason it has become so radical.

Note she does not provide evidence of any of these big assertions and she doesn't think she needs to.

For example, she never explains why Russia would prefer Trump to Hillary given Putin was able to do whatever he wanted during the Obama-Hillary administration and the Democrat party has always been dovish on Russia.

I listen to talk radio a lot and they love to bring up how well the stock market has done since Trump took office, but yet they don't mention how it skyrocketed during Obama's Presidency.

Also, I don't believe Obamacare is a bad thing. People with pre-existing conditions can now get coverage and subsidies allow poorer Americans to get coverage. Personally, I don't mind paying higher premiums for that.

The successful Bin Laden mission happened during Obama's term, as well as thawing of our relationship with Cuba.

I just don't understand how he was a horrible President.
You come across as a liberal trying to pretend he is a conservative.

Why would a conservative want to have a friendly relationship with a Communist dictatorship in Cuba.

Clinton and Bush and Obama were all in many respects more conservative than Trump. They had a deep understanding of our national defense and clearly understood the importance of fostering global alliances against our enemies. They also had a clear understanding of the importance of ensuring national stability and government structure in order to promote American business interests and improve our overall prosperity.

Trump does not have a clue about either of these. He flounders from one position or whim to the next, all in order to appease his base and stroke his bloated ego.

National defense would include build a wall so we know who is entering the country.

Clinton, Bush and OBama were all bad on immigration.

Also, Obama gave a ton of money to Iran, a country whose radical leaders chant 'death to America, including cash.

Says a person who votes for a party that has been friendly with Chavez, Castro, the Soviet Union, Iran, etc

Your past president gave Iran a pile of money, and Iran a state sponsor of terrorism.

Trump ended that 'deal'.

The pile of money was unrelated to Obama but keep trying to pin it on him. How did trump treat Saudi Arabia, the country that sent over the 9/11 hijackers?
