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

In public, Barack Obama's giving the simple version of his beliefs for the mass public. In private, he can discuss it at a really high level.

It's possible that Trump will have success by staging jobs theatre, rather than creating jobs. It's the inverse of what Obama did: saving an enormous amount of jobs without having the televised theatre to go along with it.

Donald Trump will be a tragedy, a sad joke in American history.

Conservatives are much more comfortable supporting the leader who's in power than liberals.

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 is a very impressive human being.
