he has never impressed me as anything more than a lifelong safely-ensconced Senator type of guy. Obama chose him mostly to help reassure older and working class whites in 2008, and I was OK with that but never got excited about him running for the Presidency afterward, although in hindsight he may have done better for us in 2016. He's certainly got his rabid supporters, but I assume most people just think he's a decent, affable, acceptable guy--but if there's a group with very negative attitudes towards him as you refer to, that's the first I've heard of it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
