No, We are NOT Going to Blame Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

91. Obama turned off white males and that changed political math for the foreseeable

For Hillary and everyone else.

I don't think it's a matter of blame as much as sheer fact. The dynamic was obvious leading to the 2014 midterms and devastating heading out of those midterms. There were ominous online articles all the over place pointing to 2016 and how the white working class vote could dictate the outcome.

It's the reason I was not participating on this forum or on other political sites. I don't give a damn about day to day developments as opposed to bottom line foundational factors. Given that white male shift I looked at all the numbers and it equated to a likely narrow defeat for Hillary. Only when they nominated Trump and he had the sustained implosion in late summer/early fall did I perk up and believe Hillary might narrowly escape.

Look at our number of governors, senators, House members, controlled legislatures and everything else, pre-Obama and today. Not a friendly picture. If a party leader on the other side had that type of record there would be absolutely no hesitation in pointing toward him as a principal factor, if not the overwhelming factor.
