The difference between the two is that the people who think logically and are intelligent, like myself, are the ones who are very, very worried about Trump becoming President, while it was racist bigots who were flipping out about Obama.
I don't give a pomegranate that he's white, old, and a business owner. I give a pomegranate that he's borderline crazy and says things that are complete opposites to this country's founding principles. The fact that he would even suggest that we should shut out an entire religion based on the religion is in complete contrast to what this nation is based on. You never heard Obama make such bigoted statements.
Unless he is actually fooling everyone and does a complete reversal to everything he says he stands for if he becomes President, things will be looking very dire if he gets elected.
