Same reason for the anti-Obama hysteria.
False equivalence, and you know it. The only serious opposition to Obama's Presidency was based on his Constitutional qualification for that office.
Are you talking about the birther movement? I sure hope you arenāt, cause that debacle was a complete joke.
McConnel and the republicans pledged to block Obama at all costs when he was elected. That wasnāt about qualifications or the constitution.... it was about partisan politics.
The joke is that you just proved my point. The GOP opposition was to Obama's policies, not his personality. The hatred of Trump transcends his policies and has reached a visceral level not seen since Lincoln's election in 1860.
P.S. The "birther movement" was a legitimate inquiry into Obama's Constitutional qualification to be President. Unlike every other President (including Trump), he had refused to make public his official birth records and had made claims of foreign citizenship.
