Trump was the logical outcome of the Republican's irrational, racialized backlash to Obama that had utterly come to dominate the party's thinking.

Republicans fighting back against changes Obama made means those changes are important, as with most of the major progress in American history.

Liberals tend to romanticize the past, past leaders' failures.

The Republicans' response to Obama confused a lot of people. I really think there's been a measure of clarity at the end, with Trump's election, that was not present during the Obama presidency.

Barack Obama knows a lot about a lot of things.

We're not going to be living in a world of abundant coal power in a hundred years.

I worry about the entire structure of American democracy under Trump.
