Zoomers probably dont remember but pretty much any dem would have won in 08. Being a half black just sealed it
Obama wasn’t that bad
Given his relatively small warchest, failure to capitalize on newer forms of media, the drag from Bush with poor approval ratings and economy, and the way he just came across as an old man, McCain actually took the lead in the polls after picking Palin. What killed McCain was the crash.
The crash meant that no rep could have won. Also after 8years it's rare for the same party to win again
*for Russia
He was a meh president overall.
If you turned on fox news during those 8 years you'd think he was the antichrist sent to destroy all western civilization with super duper communism
See? Trigger nazis by spouting lefty shit. This guy gets it.
There is always someone out there to get butthurt.
ENDLESS FUN
No, 12 years is reasonably common. But it's usually the VP riding on the coattails of a popular president, like Reagan-Bush. In 2008, Bush2 was close to the bottom of his popularity, and Cheney didn't run, so that was out the window. But McCain did better than he should have, with all that against him.
>reasonably common
Can you think of another example?
Okay so this is OP.
This thread was an experiment to see if I could come up with a statement that would piss off both political extremes and I guess this one works. Now go fly, my demons, take this newfound bait and spread as much butthurt as you can.
Realizing how sensitive the alt right is has been the best discovery I have ever made.
Nasty man who took away our freedoms.
Blaming Trump for virus hit on our economy isn't fair.
