How is that getting worried? You thought that the default strategy was to not campaign with the popular president?

Seriously. At no point did Obama think that he was getting October 2016 off to put his feet up and relax. He is the best campaigner in the country, he was always going to go out and stump for the successor to his legacy.

If you had been paying attention, it has been known for months that Obama was going to stump hard for Hillary.

Today Politico has more on Obama's plan. This goes beyond Clinton. He wants to build a legacy by helping candidates up and down the ticket apparently.

The only realistic strategy for Trump to win the necessary electoral votes is to pick up Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.  Keep Barack focused in metro Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Columbus and drive out the vote.  By knocking out Ohio and Pennsylvania, that stops what is really the only way Trump can pull this out.

Sammy, do your parents know that you are spending time in the forum spreading this nonsense or do they actively encourage it?

It's Trump who is getting worried, because he's asking Russia to intervene in the election. Clinton needs extra security, because it wouldn't surprise me if Trump wasn't trying to have her harmed. Trump is the one who is worried, make no mistake.

As he should.

Obama messed up in the 2010 and 2014 midterms. Dems are weaker in non-presidential years, but Obama's reduced involvement in the midterms, both in terms of campaigning (weakening DNC apparatus) and fundraising, contributed to the failure.
