      It literally got Trump elected, so yeah in their minds it did.

        I mean… That was Obama v McCain iirc. If it got anyone elected, it got Obama elected. Trump’s victory can be attributed to the unmitigated disaster of a candidate that was Hillary Clinton. Who joked to coal miners in their town hall that she’d put them out of work. Hilarious.

          Well I mean, the events that followed, culminating in the White House Correspondence Dinner where Obama absolutely roasts the shit out of Trump, are what made him run.
