Trump lost the popular vote; Kudos to Obama for his contribution to that . lagomorph777 Sep 2018 #1
Obama would see Russians when he looks in the mirror? Jarqui Sep 2018 #2
No. Obama would see a man with dark skin luvtheGWN Sep 2018 #3

and all the white nationalist misogynist MALES wanted one who looked like them instead of that dark guy.

I didn't watch the clip but that was my first thought when reading the quote. Racist much???

The one issue the propelled Trump to the presidency was has five year war campaign denying the Obama was an American citizen and a Muslim. This issue endeared him to the racist throughout the country. People don't want to admit that racism runs deep and wide in American culture and can be a primary force in elections.
