How badly would Obama beat Trump, if he was allowed to run for a third term?

[bluestateguy]

I'm thinking a 10-12% win, the 2008 map, plus carrying Arizona, Missouri and Georgia.

1. It might depend on if the PUMA's would support him or not.

3. PUMAs did not exist beyond a few loudmouths on the Internet.

See: 'Bernie Or Bust'

4. .

"People United Means Action" (or PUMA) was a political action committee in the United States that opposed the Democratic Party leadership and the nomination of Senator Barack Obama as the Democratic candidate for President in the 2008 presidential election.[1] PUMA began as an effort by supporters of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton who believed that Clinton should have been the Democratic nominee.[2][3] According to PUMA, "We [were] protesting the 2008 Presidential election because we refuse to support a nominee who was selected by the leadership rather than elected by the voters."[4]

11. It was a few loudmouths, and Hillary did not give them any aid or comfort.

Hillary made the nomination at the convention and threw her support to him vigorously. That's what Party members do -- because they believe in the same basic principles, which is why they are in the same party.

Right?

2. It would be a landslide of epic proportions.

Obama probably wouldn't win Georgia, but he'd win a few of the more northern red states.

I would suggest if Obama was running again, trump would not be the republican nominee. trump wouldn't want to take on an incumbent. And even if he did, the republicans would pick a more traditional candidate to face Obama.

5. interesting question

Guess I am a little less sure. Once the president was a candidate I fear the hate would come flooding down again. I know his numbers are up right now and I am glad. Hope he goes out with some appreciation. I am grateful he has been our president. He is gracious and I appreciate that. My RW neighbors hated Trump last year and are all for him at the moment. The president is still a muslim don't ya know. Got that explained to me Saturday! I stopped watching MSM so do not know that is being said on fake news.

6. Good question! I do not want Hillary. I would not want a 3-term Obama.

[madinmaryland]

7. Are you implying that you would consider a President dRumpf?

[CobaltBlue]

8. madinmaryland—No. I won’t vote a Republican Party presidential candidate in this day and age.

[madinmaryland]

10. Will you vote for the Democratiic Party's nominee, regardless of who it is?

[gratuitous]

9. Rented mules and red-headed step-children would wince

[Hekate]

12. Kind of what I thought, except "Beaten like a rug" was my metaphor of choice.

Oh yeah.

But all of us who have spent the past 8 years hiding out in the BOG to avoid the venom at DU would still have to hide out in the BOG. Thank God DU is not real life.

13. Obama is far more popular then hillary

and hillary is projected to pull even more EVs than Obama did in 2012, so i'd say it would be a total landslide
