      No matter your record of intellectual honesty, suggesting that Obama "contributed" to the "trend" that gave us Trump will not be tolerated.

      No one is not tolerating what you say. We are disagreeing with you. Are we really at the point where disagreement becomes intolerance?

      I don't, Matt. Obama tried too hard to reach new audiences, maybe sometimes lowered standards of comportment. But what he said was not base.

      I never said Obama gave us the Mika tweet. I'm saying Obama broke norms and contributed to the trends that gave us Trump.

          No! The racist part of the GOP base broke norms during the Obama presidency and contributed to trends that gave us Trump.

          Matt, love you man. But all norms aren't equal. Trump continues to use the most powerful office to degrade women, media, and institutions.

          The way his admin went after the press, hardcore (like using the strong arm of the law), and attacked SCOTUS during SOTU.

          Strongly disagree. ALL presidents go after the press. Give me one example of Obama personalizing attacks in such a vicious, vulgar manner.

          Like I say, I'm joking, though it is worth noting that that kind of thing actually is inherently insulting to Scots.

          Your desperate need to blame a black man for the obnoxious incompetence of a white dude says a lot about the 'trend' that gave us Trump.

          Trump has been this way since Carter was President and nationally famous for at least as long. How did anything Obama do contribute?
