      The only way be will get that support is if he pivots to the right. Obama talked like a progressive when he ran, but ruled conservative as a president. So no I don’t see this as a good sign.

            You can daydream about what Romney might have done, you can say stuff like “Trump promises to replace Obamacare with something better”, but does it mean anything in the face of the fact that under Obama a 58 DNC senate majority actually expanded medicaid while every single Republican voted in opposition?

              He passed the Massachusetts healthcare plan that Romney devised and passed. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Every time you respond, you expose yourself.

          He bailed out the banks instead of the people , passed the Republican healthcare bill only aftet he removed the public option. HE damn sure was a progressive. He was supposed to be the Hope and Change president, instead he deported more people than Trump and Biden combined and bomb the fuck out of Afghanistan and other countries. Also appointing Hillary Clinton to Security of of State wasn’t best move eithet. He wasn’t a conservative like you think of them today but he still moved to the right once he was elected. Some may say he did more good then bad, but he should shoulder some of blame of the track we are on now he help create.

            He literally served the people of the United States, not just his constituents and his party. And just like congress should do once they’re elected… should not just serve their constituents, but the people of america, every one of them. But sure, let’s keep going on with the fantasy that president barack obama was the republican…

            After the 2008 financial crisis much of the world was left in economic turmoil and what Obama did worked. I’m sorry if that hurts your feelies.

            Fun fact, the Republicans Filibustered the version of the bill that passed, but the 58 DNC convinced Bernie Sanders and the other Independent holdout to pass it via supermajority. If Republicans had their way there would never have been any Medicaid expansion, tens of millions of people would have suffered without healthcare to this very day.

              Conservative =/= Republican. Some of the perceptions in the US are skewed so far to the right that you don’t even realise how conservative the Democratic Party is. In a lot of other countries in the world, there are like 3-4 major parties left of where Obama stood, but only like 1, maybe 2, right of him.

                Hell Bernie Sanders is to the right to most European countries. They just don’t know what conservative means.

                    I recognize your username, I don’t think I’ve ever had any pleasant interactions with you and now here you are telling me to listen to an appeal for the 21st century nazi party.
