#1 You never Fundamentally Transform what You Love.

Asshole.

#2 I would reckon this Mercer article may represent the model Soetoro employed:

What Americans Can Learn from F. W. de Klerk’s Great Betrayal of South Africa

#4 What BP said. Uniparty. Same sugar H2O junk. One wears Pepsi blue, other wears Coke red.

#5 IMO, Obama was just the icing on the cake. His strongest effect on Donks is "If we can elect, and reelect, somebody like this - we can do anything!"

#6 Agreed. Obama was a nullity, a cipher, a hollow man in a slim-cut suit. Everyone saw what he wanted to see in that empty vessel.

His real legacy wasn't what he did but what, through his laziness neglect and sheer ignorance, this Zero enabled: Grifting on a global scale, not least by his two Secretaries of State and their coteries.

Also by market-manipulating firms on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley.

No responsible, honest and competent US administration of any political orientation would have allowed Google to acquire Doubleclick, as Zero's GOOG-infested crony administration did. The Zero admin was a fat piñata for Google and Goldman Sachs.

#7 You never Fundamentally Transform what You Love

Never been married, newc? Well, at least they (womenfolk) say they love you.

#8 Newspeak.

"Fundamentally transform" = swap one group of (petty) thieves for another i.e. Global Grifters: Clintons & Giustra, C. Slim et al; Kerry and his Persian pal & Persian in-laws; the Bidens; ValJar and Big Mike; Shalala at United Health; etc etc etc

#10 Transform? Euphemisms for destroy, ruin, tyranny, corrupt? The writer is too kind.

#11 If a party had folks who Washington elites approved of but the voters had to hold their noses because the guys were better than the Democrats... if that party suddenly elected someone they actually liked would it be fair to say the party had transformed? Or that it was perverted for years and finally came back to its roots.

#12 Transformed.

A new historical era began in 2016, or 2920 if you prefer. That marked the end of virtue-signaling Globalism, the bankruptcy its soaring and absurd pretensions and its corrupt underside.

After the 2008 meltdown there was no way that either of our Globalist parties could maintain the fiction any longer - i.e. the fairytale that building up China, shipping our manufacturing base and wealth and jobs over to China, exporting jobs to Mexico and importing unemployment and shit-wage helots in return, and incompetently waging land wars in Asia - no one could pretend any longer that these colossal own goals were somehow in America's national interest.

The Uniparty was finished. Zero's farcical admin was its death rattle.

There is no going back to country-club, free trade, finance-driven Global Grifter GOP capitalism of the sort that enriches the Bush-Romney-Bloomberg GOPpers and nobody else.
