Where do I seem to have an agenda? It's a rational thought. A vote for Trump, in my view, is a vote for change, any change, driven by a mass public disenchantment with politics and perceived corruption at top-level Government, business and media. I think Americans (who voted for him) think Trump will come in, shake things up, and the anti-Clinton feeling can't be underestimated.

So, if Obama had united communities and rung some changes of his own, then surely people would want to keep his party in power no?

You're obviously very pro-Obama if you think he's especially cool.

If you don't understand now that Presidential elections are all about personalities more so than politics then you never will. If Obama were able to run for a third term he would have walked it against Trump.

Even deeply Republican Kentucky will vote for a Democrat nominee if he is from the Deep South a la Carter and Clinton.

Hillary was simply the very wrong choice. The Gordon Brown of Democrat history.

Let's try that again

You seem to have an agenda against Obama.

Obama doesn't make silly comments and has been immensely statesmanlike throughout his term.

It is bizarre how negatively the America populace views the Health Care Act. I suspect some of the hatred is whipped up by a media 'encouraged' by the big medical insurers. The US system is massively inefficient yet Obama did wrong, really?

And as for he should have made more change, how exactly when the Republicans lined up against him on every issue and held the balance of power?

I don't particularly care one way or another for any of the senior US political figures, so my opinion is quite balanced and my questions aren't loaded. I don't think Obama is in any way cool, nor do I dislike him. You're obviously an Obama fanboy hence you've got defensive when I've questioned him. I think it still stands though - if Obama had united a country, or at least seen the green shoots of something like that happening, there wouldn't be such an appetite for change from the American people. It's not the only factor at play I know.

Americans need to do some serious soul searching and ask questions of themselves as to what has gone so wrong with the Obama legacy that people have veered so far towards Trump. This isn't a handful of people we are talking about. Why has this happened

The lazy arguments all over social media that America has showed itself as racist. Not everyone who voted for trump is a racist, not every one would have voted for reasons of race. There are so many more factors at play and as I say the Clinton era probably has a lot to do with it.

I wouldn't bet against Michelle Obama being a democrat candidate one day
