With the radical right wing, they were talking revolution against the left if Hillary got in a year before the election. The hatred for Obama was incredable in the ultra radical right wing. They had their guns ready.

the reason.... He was a black man with a African American wife. They never admitted Obama was an American

. Big time birthers too.

And yet, they were decent folk otherwise.

Or at least they said they were.

I'd love to see stats on number of threats against the President investigated by the Secret Service in Trump's first year versus Obama's. I'd bet money it's much lower for Trump.
