Damn dog woke me up at 5:00 AM on a day off work, go downstairs and turn on morning joe and am educated on who is to blame for the support of Trump. Yup, Obama's fault! You see he was petty and snarky on foreign soil last week. And as per Joe, Obama responded to some candidate who is polling less than 2%. (I can't figure that one out, iirc, Obama insinuated all Repiggies as chicken shit wusses). So the electorate is responding to the President being weak and petty by turning to the strong decisive bully. Now how that explains the previous few months, I have no damn clue.
Later it was brought up by another talking head on Jose's show, so obviously it is the talking point for today.
Yesterday there was a thread stating the repubs need to take ownership of the Donald, IT WON'T HAPPEN. This is a party that never takes responsibility, it is always someone else's fault. And that someone had a D following his or her name.

Actions, after all, speak louder than words.
