Debate Backlash: Many Democrats Say Criticizing Obama’s Legacy Isn’t A Good Idea
Following a contentious debate among Democratic White House contenders Wednesday, a number of party leaders aren’t thrilled that some of the candidates focused on attacking former President Barack Obama’s legacy as a way to challenge Joe Biden.
In one of the debate’s hottest exchanges, Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey called out the former vice president ― the frontrunner in the Democratic nomination race ― for repeatedly using Obama’s name to shield himself from criticism directed his way on issues like criminal justice and immigration.
“Mr. vice president, you can’t have it both ways,” Booker said, referring to Biden’s ― and Obama’s ― record on immigration, which saw a record number of undocumented immigrants deported during their eight-year administration. “You invoke President Obama more than anybody in this campaign. You can’t do it when it’s convenient and then dodge it when it’s not.”

Cory Booker is a vicious nut. He used the occasion of a shooting in El Paso Texas today to scream his hatred for the National Rifle Assocation.
He couldn't even wait for the bodies to cool before seeking to gain personally over someone else's pain.
I am gratified that Booker and Harris will not become our president anytime soon.

Criticizing Obama’s Legacy is a great idea...

Most of Obama's Legacy was written for him by Democrats in congress. He didn't write one word of Obamacare, or any of his other policy ideas like the Iran Nuclear Deal.
So when it comes to "protecting Obama's legacy", as the mantra from the uninformed Left has been the past 2018 election, I think they just remembered that such a legacy was written by their fellow Democrats in congress, and not worth the paper any of it was written on. They want to flood our system with leftist federal judges, and Trump is the chief obstacle to that.
They might be able to lie to their mindless, uninformed CNN and MS-NBC viewers all day long. But they are horrified that Trump is appointing judges and putting the economy on track. That does not fit with the leftist goal of impoverishing all Americans so we stand in food lines waiting for Democrat "compassion". That's their goal, as witness Obama celebrating a record number of Americans on welfare benefits. Trump celebrates getting Americans off of welfare and working, and that's what the Democrat leaders are terrified of. Self-sufficient blacks, hispanics, asians, and women, not needing the Democrat party or their brand of "compassion".
To the modern military Democrat left (Castro, Ocasio-Cortez, Illhan Omar, Rashid T-Shit), Obama's eight years was only the beginning, only the foot in the door into turning our country into Zimbabwei, Cuba, or Venezuela. Standing in their way, Trump. It's got to be frustrating. It's why they're so angry now, America was supposed to be fearful and turning to the Democrats right now. They're not.
