Obama's legacy can be summed up in one word, "Loser." Not only did he lose in his quest to destroy President Trump's chances of being elected by wiretapping Trump Towers. He is responsible for Democrats losing over 1,000 seats in Congress and State legislative seats. Is it any wonder Democrat candidates sought to distance themselves from him?
Democrats lost over 1,000 seats under Obama
Democratic Party suffered huge losses at every level during Obama’s West Wing tenure.
The grand total: a net loss of 1,042 state and federal Democratic posts, including congressional and state legislative seats, governorships and the presidency.
The latter was perhaps the most profound example of Obama's popularity failing to translate to support for his allies. Hillary Clinton, who served as secretary of state under Obama, brought the first family out for numerous campaign appearances. In September, Obama declared that his “legacy’s on the ballot.”
Less than two months later, Americans voted for Donald Trump.
