Astute observation but she has declined.

All she has to do is win. Then she can resign on January 21st and have her vice president take her place. If you want to win the game you need to learn how to game the game.

Jon Stewart could beat Lewzer, and he's a Jew.

That would depend on who controls the Senate. Might not be a good idea.

Jon Stewart would never get as many African-Americans energized to go out and vote for him. All Michelle Obama would have to do is get up to the podium, smile and wave, tell the nation she's running for all the fed-up Moms, and then leave. She would crush Trump.

It wouldn't be the first time a presidential candidate won the election by doing almost nothing. Over 100 years ago, Garfield, Harrison and McKinley all campaigned from their front porches and won.

The Democrats of course. Every Democrat who doesn't vote for POTUS is also a lost vote for their state's senatorial candidate. In order to maximize chances of the Democrats taking the Senate they need someone like Michelle Obama to energize the base- and by base I mean the millions of African-Americans in this country who still feel disenfranchised and will not turn out for a walking cabbage like Biden.

Perhaps the Democrat elite can take some time out from supporting genocide and driving the world towards nuclear oblivion to think this one carefully over.

She would. So would Oprah. But they are not interested and I can't blame them. Just saying there is more than one Democrat that could beat Lewzer.

Michelle and Oprah declined before the recent debate debacle and Supreme Court decision . Things change fast.

I don't think Oprah could do it. No political experience. No political network and too late to create one. At least Michelle's husband has been president before and voters know that, so in essence they be voting for him and his political network in surrogate.

And the thought of that would drive Republicans absolutely bonkers!

Don't count on it. The Senate looks pretty iffy.

Are there enough of them to counter the closeted bigot rednecks that would lose their ---- at seeing a black woman on the top of the ticket? Granted, most of them are in Lewzer's "base" already.

No political experience was one of Lewzer's selling points. He was proud of it.

Taylor Swift could be president in a heartbeat. If anyone cared about political acumen Hillary would have won in 2016.

Flash and dazzle and rhetoric wins the day now. And slimy attack adverts.

Many more. I lived in the Brooklyn section of Baltimore for nearly 10 years. Many of my neighbors, some friends, and even one of my lovers were African-American women. African-American women could be the Democrats' secret weapon, But they have no clue how to energize them.

Michelle Obama would definitely energize them. They in turn would organize and energize their men. Believe me, they'd woop their asses into shape. They are fierce and are waiting for their moment.

Because they were selling him to entitled, conspiratorial, lowbrow caucasians who would lap up that sort of thing.

But the lack of political experience would be a detriment to a Democrat candidate.

The only reason it does is because of lack of substance and character. Michelle Obama has substance and character, whereas Donald Trump is nothing more than a substantial character.

I don't disagree. I also don't think her character would allow her to run with the intent of quitting the next day just to win.

MAGAts are similar to zombies. To become a zombie, one bite is all it takes, and to become a MAGAt, one Trump soundbite is all it takes.

There are different ways to defeat zombies and MAGAts. The best way, however, is to stop trying to rationalize WHY they exist (stupidity, like death, will always be a thing) or HOW to completely eliminate them. Instead, just come to grips with the fact they'll always exist and focus one's energies on isolating them with their own so they become no more than a nuisance that one must deal with, akin to a local dog who barks incessantly at night or a neighborhood pizza parlor that occasionally puts too few slices of pepperoni on their pies.

Just make sure they don't grow that cohort out of proportion. Don't let the 31-33% demo get any bigger.

It's going to be a tough call for the DNC on how to proceed. Insiders have a better picture than any of us do. You can't make strategic decisions based on TV clips.

Especially in swing states- Ohio, Georgia and and Pennsylvania come to mind.

Trump won Texas in 2020 by 600,000 votes. There are currently 1.5 million African-American women in Texas who can vote. How many didn't vote in the last election- a third? That's a half million votes right there. There's an awful lot of Hispanic women who would vote for Michelle as well. She could take Texas.

The current DNC is the best thing to ever happen to Republicans. The DNC needs to grow some balls and select an electable candidate who doesn't have any.

It would be pretty sweet (and quite apropos) if millions of minority women came out of the woodwork to vote and ended up sending Trump into oblivion- it would be more satisfying than when Sansa Stark fed Ramsay Bolton to his own dogs.

That's a fair point. And has been for a long time. They seem to think the idea of bipartisan cooperation for the good of the country is still a thing.

Now it's basically Wrasslin', but Dems won't stoop to using the folding chairs from behind.

I can.

Biden wasn't really interested either. But he obviously would rather die in office than live in Trumplandia.

Do they think they really will be ok in Trumplandia and Trumpy will let them live out their life in peace?

Or maybe the Obamas are just planning on leaving the country.

Interestingly they did just purchase a home in DC.

Oddsmakers don't know squat about politics. They just chase the conventional wisdom of the moment.

Biden beat Trump four years ago and will beat him again. Nobody has ever motivated more Americans to vote against him than Trump.

Remember when Dems said Trump was totally unqualified to run for president because he was a reality TV star only? - of course, they ignore the fact that he amassed over $1B in wealth as a successful businessman.

Now, you want to run Big Mike with her ONLY prior experience as being the beard for the gay, muslim, Kenyan guy. Never ran a business. Never created a job. Never held public office.

I think Bill Burr has a great bit on this.

Dems now embracing Big Mike is the very definition of zombie behavior and we should not be calling for mental acuity tests on Joe Biden, we should be calling for them on anyone considering voting for Big Mike. Hell, AOC is more qualified if she were able to run and that is saying something.
