What's going on with Michelle obama

It would be a good thing if she did, but the alt right live in cloud cuckoo land so I have my doubts there is any substance to this.

The alt-right just luv Michelle.

She could be Gavin Newsom's VP pick. The POTUS spouse route didn't work for Hillary.

Michelle Obama seems like a lovely woman and all, but I don't know if she really has the experience or background necessary. She was First Lady, obviously, but I mean she hasn't really worked as a politician at any lower level. Even Hillary Clinton racked up a few years as a senator before taking a swing at the big job.

Yes, Trump himself shows that prior office isn't really a necessity to be electable, but I'm not sure his example is one to follow.

Having said all of that, Americans seem to care more about charisma than anything else, so I couldn't discount the possibility. It would make the American right-wing go absolutely nuts, for sure.

I mean turning the US presidency into a succession of people elected almost entirely on their charisma as opposed to being serious political thinkers and statespeople. Intellectually, I think it's a race to the bottom, even the ones on the Democratic side are quite positive people. Charisma is a great quality for a leader, but having proper experience needs to be in there as well.

While I appreciate Obama as an eloquent speaker and seemingly good person, I was massively disappointed in him as a President. He wasted 2 years of a Democratic majority, and allowed the Republicans to railroad him at a time when he could have pushed for genuinely transformative policies.

Trump a Nazi?

I don't really like that guy but come on, at least speak some truth.

Why would she attach herself to a guaranteed losing ticket?

You may underestimate the GOP's ability to find someone capable of losing. Purely theoretical at this point.

Listening to an interesting pod. They could possibly go down the actor route again with Denzel Wahington, tom hanks and meryl streep suggested.

I can see the point. The POTUS doesnt really run the country anymore. Its merely a figure head.

Trump would have a complete meltdown if this happened. Imagine having to run against a woman again and a coloured woman to boot, he'd surely lose the plot.

His last (significant) opponent for the Republican nomination is a woman of colour. He isn't taking it particularly well.

TLDR nothing, the right is just having a bad week so they rile the base with crap

This is also a particularly stupid as theories go given the fact that the primaries have already kicked off.

Find it astonishing myself that in a nation of that size, that it is a strong possibility of a re-run of 2020.

I think Michelle Obama would make a great president.

Very dissapointed in Kamala Harris. You barely see or hear anything from her these days.

Real pity Taylor Swift isn't 35 until Dec 13th. Her name would really wind them up.

At most one terms left? Not sure if you referring to his age or simply stating the obvious

Michelle has a higher ability than Barack. She is also more liberal. That's why people are disappointed with Barack, he wasn't radical in his thinking. Don't think there's a hope she'll go for it.

She us similar to Haley she has no base bar donor's.

Biden could have picked Whitmer as VP who he could have passed the baton to, or ideally Warren who was heavily linked to the VP slot but I suppose she was way to lefty for the Dem donor's.

Anything to dig up on Michelle?

Yeah, the constant shock and outrage doesn’t work. Trump is so thin skinned all they need is someone to keep poking him.

If Joe does win the chances of him lasting full term is low. The choice of vice president is critical and there is a good chance they will end up as president. At the same time they cannot choose someone who will completely overshadow Biden during the campaign as that will damage him. Michelle might be seen as 'too good'. They need to pick someone good but low key.
