7. Obama was a super "cool" president

Probably why DJT hates him so much; he was always the cool wannabe kid.

Democrats are more inclined to elect "cool" presidents. Before Obama, we had Bill Clinton (republicans HATED him because he was cool). And of course Dems also had JFK. As Donald would say, "straight out of central casting".

Republicans just can't find any cool candidates. The closest they came was hiring an actor to play one in the 1980s. Clearly he WASN'T cool.
