    Obama played a role in nudging things

    Making a phone call or two is not the same thing as dictating how millions of people vote. There is no way that millions of people changed their votes because of anything Obama did. But yes, pretending there was an Evil Mastermind pulling the strings and controlling the votes of millions sounds a lot more exciting then the boring reality that a majority of voters, for whatever reason, did not understand how great of a politician Bernie Sanders is.

      Yeah, talking to you is useless. I never said he did that. I explained exactly what I was talking about, and Obama directly influencing individual voters was not part of it. We’re done.

        Okay. Well your evidence that Obama was an Evil Mastermind who single handedly changed the outcome of the election was that apparently he made a couple phone calls or something. Yep I’m done.
