A retired American president should ordinarily keep out of politics but blue wave kama kawaida yao they break the law and bring back Obama on the campaign trail. But I guess it’s okay because it’s Obama. It’s Obeezy. Can’t do no wrong Obeezy.

Democratic leaders have a higher moral status na wasiulizwe swali but whatever corrupt means they use, red wave bado iko strong. Whether they insult President Trump and call him a racist even when he gave contributions to the blue wave cause many times in the past, hio ni sawa tu you cannot stop the army of Trump.

LOS ANGELES,
Former US president Barack Obama on Saturday urged voters to mobilize and return control of Congress to Democrats as he denounced what he said was the “politics of fear” dividing the country.
Obama told a large and enthusiastic crowd in Anaheim, California – in the traditionally Republican stronghold of Orange County – that the nation was “in a challenging moment.”
Casting aside the traditional low profile of a former president, Obama returned to the campaign trail on Friday in Illinois in an effort to help Democrats running in the upcoming midterm elections.
In Anaheim on Saturday, he said voters needed to send a clear signal in November that they want to “reverse that cycle of anger and division” and “restore some sanity in our politics.”
Although Obama did not refer to the president by name, his intent was clear.

He said stakes were high not just for Democrats but for all Americans, as “people feel scared” about a litany of issues: a troubled health care system, the high costs of education, a warming climate and more.
“If we don’t step up, things can get worse,” he said. “Other voices (will) fill the void.”
Obama, who is 57, said the greatest threat to US democracy comes not from any single individual, or even from any group of billionaires seeking to dominate the nation’s politics.
“It is apathy, it is indifference. It is us not doing what we’re supposed to do,” he said.
Obama’s speech was notably shorter and more restrained than the previous day’s often fiery remarks in Illinois, when he attacked Trump more frontally, breaking with the long American tradition of restraint by former presidents toward their successors.
Trump, asked about that speech during a trip to North Dakota, quipped that he had watched it but fallen asleep.

[SIZE=6]A ‘blue wave’? Kentucky voter registration stats say no[/SIZE]

FRANKFORT, KY.
When President Donald Trump speaks, and tweets, Amy Evans can’t help but cringe.
Yet the 68-year-old longtime registered Democrat in central Kentucky recently switched her voter registration to the Republican Party. Although Trump’s controversies have Democrats dreaming of a “blue wave” in November, Evans said she tunes out the president’s words and has no regrets about switching parties.

“I don’t read his tweets. I really like what he has done,” she said. "There are a lot of people just like me. We’re not vocal; we just [SIZE=6]follow our hearts. We follow what we feel is [/SIZE][SIZE=7]right[/SIZE][SIZE=6]."[/SIZE]

Evans is one of thousands of Kentucky voters who have switched their registrations to Republican in recent years. Since Trump took office in January 2017, Democrats have lost more than [SIZE=6]2,500[/SIZE] registered voters statewide while Republicans have added more than 58,000. This year, for the first time in memory, Democrats fell [SIZE=6]below 50 percent[/SIZE] of all registered voters in the state.

That could have national consequences in Democrats’ efforts to control Congress. In Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District, where Evans lives, most political observers have Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Barr in a toss-up race with Democrat Amy McGrath, a retired fighter pilot. In that district alone, Republicans have added more than 9,000 voters while Democrats have added more than 2,000.

“That tells me some of this is more hype than substance,” said Scott Jennings, a Kentucky-based Republican consultant with close ties to U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “I doubt very seriously anybody registered to vote Republican this year, which are many, is going to vote for Amy McGrath.”

But Democrats have enthusiasm on their side, especially after thousands of teachers protested Republican lawmakers’ plans to overhaul pensions for state employees. More than 100,000 people voted in the Democratic primary in May, a six-person contest with three well-known candidates. Less than half that many voted in the Republican primary, where Barr won easily over little-known challenger Chuck Eddy.

Primary elections are closed in Kentucky, meaning only people registered with a political party can vote in that party’s primary. Democrats dominated state politics for most of the 20th century and held a huge voter registration advantage. In 2016, Trump won Kentucky with 62 percent of the vote, helping Republicans win majorities in the state House and Senate. As Republicans win more races statewide and locally, voters have more incentive to register with the GOP so they can vote in primaries.

One example is Erik Henderson, McGrath’s husband, who registered as a Republican in Scott County last year. He could not vote for his wife in the primary but will in the general election.

Anthony Harover, chairman of the GOP in Shelby County, where Republicans are on the cusp of a majority in voter registration, said the practical value of being registered as a Democrat has diminished over time. But he thinks that’s because national Democratic leaders lost touch with Kentucky voters.

“People have been voting for Republicans, nationally and statewide, in Shelby County for a long time,” he said. “I think they finally just decided the Democratic Party nationally doesn’t fit the way they believe.”

Registrations really took off when Obama became president, influencing people like Evans, who said that made her realize “the liberalism on the Democratic ticket is not acceptable to me.”

Barr’s campaign is built to appeal to voters like her; his TV ads paint McGrath as a liberal feminist. Barr said he views the voter registration trends as proof voters want what he is selling.

“What that tells me is that my constituents are happy with the direction of the country and they are increasingly aligning themselves with our agenda,” he said.

McGrath’s campaign manager, Mark Nickolas, said Democrats deserve to be losing the voter registration battle in Kentucky because they have not tried hard enough to connect with rural voters. But he said McGrath is taking the opposite approach.

“I think Democrats maybe lulled themselves into believing these big registration advantages meant something. And, frankly, they don’t,” he said. “I think we deserved this trend. And now it’s up to us to start rebuilding. I think Amy McGrath is a big piece of it this year.”
