Positive / Negative toward: Obama's midterm campaigning urging voters to rein in the Trump administration

Positive points

  • I think Trump has put his own interests and family first, and that needs to be called out.

  • Trump has caused a lot of damage, and I hope someone can undo it and bring things back.

  • Glad Obama is speaking up; I hope voters turn out in the midterms and push back.

Negative points

  • Obama criticizing Trump feels hypocritical, since his own record had problems too.

  • Democrats' immigration policies and spending are a big reason for the problems people see now.

  • Obama didn't fix things when he was in office, so I don't think he's the right voice now.
