Big advantage for Hillary is Obama

that is why I think it is going to be a blowout in Nov.
Obama is relatively popular especially with the Dem party
Bush jr was invisible for McCain because the Bush admin was a failure
Clinton was put on ice by the Gore team because of the sex scandal

I guess the last time a 2 term president to campaign actively for his succesor Reagan for poppy Bush

So I expect when it is all said and done Hillary will wipe the floor with trump

President Obama is in his element on campaign trail. Sure he has missed it. Awesome sauce boss 😆

in addition to national appeal of the Clintons and Obamas-they also have Biden to work the working men sections in East and Midwest and Elizabeth Warren now to appeal to Liberals. Obama will be taking a Victory lap to drum up support among minorities. Michelle can work the Moms. Bill has strong appeal in the South and West Coast. Very diverse team-hope Bernie jumps on

quite a contrast to Trump isolated on his twit machine

I don't think we've really had it... man, I can't think of the dynamic of the 70's where it happened nor even the 60's because of how badly things went down.

We drank the Koolaid and voted for him but soon realized he was just a big "aisle crosser" -that's all he wanted to do, remember then? Make nice nice with the rethugs. All he got was that small little stimulus package when the country needed SO much more.

Bush was in that whole "I'm my own man" phase and didn't want Reagan to help much because of how he was viewed next to the Great Communicator.

Plus, like a lot of others in the administration, they knew where Ronnie was mentally and knew that he couldn't get out there and do a whole lot.

It's truly been a whole generation since we've had a sitting president going on the campaign trail in the manner that Obama and Biden will be doing.
