        It seems to me you chose a poor time to bring up your thoughts on Obama. Trump's comments are indefensible and you seem to be deflecting.

        Trump is the reaction to a black president and not an outgrowth of a erosion of norms

        Why do you mention Obama at all? The issues are Trump and current governance not comparisons.

        Those would be valuable records to future scholars studying why our era had so many mediocre white men in positions of power and influence.

        Changing media landscape is a trend for pres. Incredible vulgarity and misogyny is not, except perhaps from extremes of talk radio.

        Obama changed norms to some extent (as has pretty much every pres), but changing norms is different than incredible coarsening from Trump.

        Continued comparisons and links to how we got to Trump are clumsy at best. Saying "he's part of it" only works bc Obama was president.

        It's not about "whataboutism" for some, it's that in Trump they see him as a fighter unlike GW Bush who was a wallflower when criticized.

        You can see that Republicans are rattled when they start attacking Pre Obama hard, they are realizing the horse they're backing is an Ass
