there’s no way one could claim, from an informed opinion, that Obama was as bad as Trump is.

Hate to jump over the fence on this one, but this really depends on what you expect from government. To some people, competence/intelligence/ethics/integrity matters. To some people, results are the only thing that matters. To the latter group, the question of “who is worse?” is just a matter of “whose policies do you like better?”. Some people like Trump’s policies better than Obama’s, and competence/intelligence/ethics/integrity are all beside the point. That’s why, for some voters, a Supreme Court nomination gets him a lot of credit, while colluding with Russian intelligence agents to hijack the election is a meh issue. That’s your core support there. Well, that plus Nazis is your core support there.
