President-elect Donald Trump claims he could have defeated President Barrack Obama in a head-to-head matchup.
President Obama said that he thinks he would have won against me. He should say that but I say NO WAY! - jobs leaving, ISIS, OCare, etc. Trump tweeted on Monday afternoon.
In a CNN podcast hosted by David Axelrod on Monday, Obama said a message of optimism, like his in 2008, could have defeated Trumps more divisive brand of populism.
Axelrod, who served as a senior adviser to Obama in his first term, tweeted about the president-elect's response on Monday evening.

Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch. No, just no.

(18,769 posts)Let the games begin. I don't think Obama is going to go quietly into the night. I can't think of anyone better able to calmly explain to the American public why they really, really don't want to support Trump's agenda. The politicians who are standing with him now will forget his name if they think it will prevent them from getting reelected. Granted, definitely could be wishful thinking in my part but heck, sure would be nice.
