Last week, Golden State was down three games to one. Tonight, they finished off a great comeback in California. I like comebacks.

3:52: Obama claims it is a “myth” that other countries are “killing us on trade.” Obama claims most of the manufacturing jobs that have been lost were not because of trade but because of automation and technology.

3:45: Obama says the GOP’s basic story is that working-class families have been harmed by a bloated and big federal government run by left-wing radicals like Obama. He adds that Republicans are also saying immigrants are taking jobs. Obama says the GOP’s message is anti-government, anti-trade, anti-immigrant, and anti-change. He also admits that he listens to conservative talk radio and watches Fox News. He says we can’t deport all illegals and put a wall around America.
3:40: In Elkhart, Indiana, a defensive President Obama says pundits say Republicans nominated Trump because of Washington hasn’t paid enough attention to working-class communities. He insists communities like Elkhart haven’t been forgotten in his White House. Obama admits that under his presidency “inequality is too high” and the gap between the rich and the poor is the greatest it has been since the 1920s. He says this “changes our politics” and makes it easy for people to think that the “system is rigged.” He says “there are plenty of politicians that are preying” on these headlines for votes.
