President Obama has confidently asserted that he could win a third term if he ran again, but President-Elect Trump strongly disagrees. Eric hashed it out with conservative columnist Lisa Boothe and former Clinton aide Richard Goodstein. "Hillary Clinton lost by 10,000 in Michigan," Goodstein pointed out, "and by 20,000 in Michigan and 40,000 in Pennsylvania. There were tens of thousands of voters who would have come out for Barack Obama but did not come out for Hillary Clinton. Counties that voted for Obama in '08 and '12 would have voted for him again." But Boothe contended that Donald Trump would have defeated Barack Obama. "President Obama said that his legacy was on the ballot and this was a rejection of his that. Donald Trump ran on eradicating President Obama's legacy, this was a rejection of his policies. Donald Trump was also able to flip 217 counties from Democrat to Republican."
