29. Worse than that so much worse

In fact I don't think it was necessarily a bad thing he drove moderate Republicans to extinction. Look at what they have been left with. They have no viable Presidential candidates. Democrats are starting to fight back and win and they are making progress in some red areas. Both parties are losing people, but Republicans are losing support faster. Independents are the largest group right about now and growing, they are becoming more liberal. People are waking up to the insanity that is the GOP. But, working people are still demonized that is the worst thing he did. Demonizing unions and destroying the middle class and starting the process of gutting the safety net by demonizing the poor.
