The final 10 Democratic candidates took to the stage to close the 2nd round of the 2020 presidential debates on Wednesday night — and they kicked things off by trashing former President Barack Obama.
The familiar faces were there — former Vice President Joe Biden, Sens. Kamala Harris, D-Calif. and Cory Booker, D-N.J. to name a few.
The candidates were there to make the case as to why each of them should be the next president.
But ulimtately, all they did was argue that Trump should be reelected…
Listening to the the soundbites, one might swear that Obama was up on the stage alongside the candidates.
He wasn’t — but that didn’t stop the 2020 field from attacking his legacy.
The candidates spent much of the night slamming Obamacare, his record on illegal immigration, and dragging the former president’s reputation through the mud!
Liberal MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was left screaming mad.
The “Morning Joe” star said he was left “so confused,” and called the Democrats “politically dumb.”
“You have people trashing Obamacare,” he said. “And the sport of it is Republican talking points and then they’re trashing his immigration policies, which Donald Trump and the Republicans attacked and used to elect Donald Trump, as being too conservative.
“We were sort of in a never-never land last night in that debate, it was bizarre.”
“Just judging from what I’ve seen and what I’ve heard since that debate, a lot of the Democrats are pretty pissed off,” he continued, “and they’re saying, ‘listen if you’re thinking you’re getting my vote by trashing Barack Obama’s legacy, you have another thing coming.”
“Give me a break!” he shouted. “What’s wrong with you people? You’re going up against Donald Trump, and you’re talking about defending ObamaCare as Republican talking points? Who is advising you?”
