So far I've heard:

Pat Buchanan - "America first"

Al Gore - "I'll never let you down" (Convention speech)

Bill Clinton - "off welfare and back to work" (basic summary)

No, I'm not familiar with that. I've watched a few of his stand-up routines and youtube snippets of other stand-up routines. I've watched a few episodes of Family Feud and a few interviews with him discussing his path to stardom. My memory maybe failing me. But I don't remember seeing in his standup routines anything about the groups you mentioned that is anything different than other comedians who make fun of everything under the sun. He fits right into the Richard Pryor mold that so many celebrate and call "great comedy".

If you are seriously trying to say "see, I told you trump isn't that popular." By comparing Obama and trump then your ignoring the label "first black president" being a huge factor. To be honest I expected less people today than there was

it's probably more to pre-empt the expected twitter bragging about this being the biggest inauguration crowd in history.

It's kinda funny seeing the lefties panic over Trump just like the righties did over Obama.

I suspect that in four or eight years, all the hand wringing will look like those people worried about Obama coming for their guns, building FEMA camps, etc...

But I also suspect that in four or eight years, the people who have already decided Trump will be a disaster will rail against him no matter what he does, just as those who predetermined that Obama was going be a disaster could never admit that he did some good things.

Same stuff, different day.

I've given up on following trump tweets 5 months ago so I honestly have no idea what he has said since. I took it as just a regurgitation of what MSNBC, Young Turks, and other very anti trumpers said about it.

I get what you're saying in one sense but the comparison of behavior is misplaced at most levels. Righties did not riot in the days following the election or on Inauguration Day.

And given the liberal logic I've become used to, they're rioting in perhaps the most pro-Hillary city by vote (93%) in the country.

As far as the inauguration pictures, Trump's voters actually have jobs. Plus they have to work longer hours to pay for those higher deductibles and meds.

I think that comparison is ridiculous on a number of levels. Obama got a bunch more votes than Trump and it was history in the making.

It really makes no difference - Trump won as much of the Office as Obama. They didn't shave down the 21 gun salute because of the popular vote.

If he's who he spoke as this might be interesting. I suspect he'll find a way to blow it.
