Obama v Trump: contrasting pitches as midterms loom

With Tuesday's midterm elections fast approaching, Donald Trump and Barack Obama both took to the stump on Sunday. Trump, addressing a crowd in Macon, Georgia, set out his now familiar dystopia of an America overrun by criminal aliens and radical socialists. Obama, speaking in Gary, Indiana, implied that the existential threat came from his successor

Whether the left along with the mainstream media admits it or not Trump got a lot done and has governed more conservatively than anyone could have imagined. I say keep up the good work Donald 🇺🇸

Trump addresses real issues like mass immigration. Obama rehashes the same old empty platitudes like a typical politician.

Latino Here... voted for Obama twice but ima side with trump on this one, most people don’t go around saying specially where I’m from because it’s taboo apperently but a lot of people like myself support trump in secrecy

[davidabbott]

Our whole system is strained because you let too many people in, we're all not against letting people in we just need to control who we let in

This article compares Obama TO Trump? That's like comparing a car salesman to Thomas Jefferson.

Couple of things regarding the comment of "contrasting pitches". First, There is one BIG DIFFERENCE. Obama is a "former President" while Trump is THEE EXISTING PRESIDENT. Secondly, Obama has broken all protocols in which former Presidents generally "stay out" of the political arena AFTER they leave office. That said, Obama's galavanting around the country following up wherever Trump goes, is ringing hollow with alot of folks. His "star power" just isn't there anymore mainly because his attacks on Trump are A: COMPLETELY FALSE & B: The fact that Obama completely denies the "wrongness" of this caravan thing proves that he is totally "out of touch". Of course, there is something WRONG with this caravan thing. It is WRONG in every sense of the word and for Obama to not only embrace the caravan but also embrace their methods is NOTHING short of treasonous. Lastly, Obama left office with "barely" a 2% GDP. He is flat out "LYING" when he says the economy is doing GREAT because he started it all. He even went so far to proclaim that Trump was "dreaming" if he thinks he can get this nation to a 4% GDP and that's exactly what Trump has done and Obama also said Trump will never be able to bring back ANY manufacturing jobs. Once again, Trump has done "exactly that". There are over 57, 000 sealed indictments. Obama's name is SURELY on one of those indictments.

"When you hear Republicans talk about how good the economy is doing, dont forget how started that." Okay I won't. It was Trump.

Obama reminds me of the used car salesman that tried to sell me the lemon that was a one owner by a little old lady to only drove it to church.

Obama can't compete with the size Trump's rallies.

The people should not be afraid of the government. The government should be afraid to be of the the people.

oh he is right when he ends with 'It's right up there'...and you can hear your echo sunshine.

I watched a clapping Primate on tv this morning. The only thing missing was the banana !!

Hussein complains about using our military to protect our border? Isn't that what our military was designed to do, is protect the USA? But Hussein doesn't have and issue sending our troops to another country, and occupy another country 🤔🤔🤔

When Obama was president Islamic State was Dominating the world

[crxdelsolsir]

Obama failed to mention that for every non working economic migrant/refugee that enters, 100 working Americans need to support that person over their working life. Think about it.


That harmless 10, 000 to 20, 000 economic migrant = 10, 000, 000 to 20, 000, 000 working Americans sacrificing what they already cannot afford.

I wonder why Obama is not wearing his make America miserable and unsafe again hat?

[StoryGordon]

They are both helping Independents decide how to vote... Thanks.

[sammerdean]

Poor, starving refugees that happen to be wearing cleaner tennis shoes than I have on. That don't look hungry to me. Ah

[dustybin]

14 thousand people are heading towards the South Coast of the UK on a ferry. Now tell me you wouldn't want Trump.

Oh Obama...use those massive ears to listen for a change rather than pontificating your "achievements". You didn't do anything to help the economy much less the country. Divided all with race & Remember you said jobs weren't coming back and this is the "new normal". You were the worst President in history with disastrous economic recovery and economic idea was non-existent. Every day was dismal with you! What a breath of fresh air it is now. Finally someone who is putting America first rather than bowing down to our enemies and your moronic base. You were just the worst thing ever!
