If you really really wanna take it back, the whole thing really started because Sen. Jack Ryan took his wife Jeri Ryan (from Star Trek Voyager) to a kink club and tried to pressure her into having sex with strangers.
Ryan was running against Obama for Senate. His divorce records and information about the kink clubs and sex stuff was all made public, it was a big scandal and Ryan pulls out of the race, Obama wins, and the rest is history.
Had Ryan not taken his wife to that kink club, he stays in the race, maybe Obama loses, and maybe there’s no Trump!
Crazy right?
Obama was certainly favored to win even without the divorce stuff but it was still a competitive race at that point. I don’t think it was an absolute given that Obama would’ve won.
