I would love to be living in the timeline where Obama never roasted him, and therefore he never took a real interest in a presidential run. Sometimes I think he ran for president because that roast goaded him into it.

I'm 100% certain that roast was why he ran. My god, Obama hit him with surgical precision, in front of god and the press corps. Whole room of important people laughing their ass off at a narcissist? Oh hell no.

Note the date on this post. She got it.

I said the same shit back then when it happened. I started panicking the moment he casually mentioned running for president.

I would love to be living in a world where Obama didn't dismantle his campaign, and instead empowered the activists who got him elected, thereby enabling them to win the election after him.

Instead he took the notes from the bankers on who should be in his cabinet, contributed to the 2012 bank bail out, and continued Clintons legacy of democrats who weaken the middle class.

That is why Trump was successful.
