Ugh. Stop with this West Wing fanfiction nonsense.

We all need a little fiction to escape from reality sometimes!


Who would you see as the best VP candidate?

Michelle Obama has an 11 point lead over Trump in a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Yup. Michelle needs to step into the ring. It might be the Dems’ only chance at this point. Harris can be her VP.

I feel like this whole situation could have been avoided if Obama hadn’t been born in Kenya

Has she shown any remote interest in that job? I dont get these types of polls.

I don't think an all black women ticket is the winning answer unfortunately. All these different proposal all have awkward combinations.

I can't see them going with an all female ticket or and all California ticket. So if it is Newsom or Whitmore, they can't really keep Harris. Sherrod Brown would probably work though.

no, on the contrary ... she has said multiple times that she has no interest in that job whatsoever. Doesn't stop people from bringing her up as an option, especially right-wingers.

She has no interest but imagine the GOP and Trump’s anger with their god being taken down by a black woman who many think is a man. Maybe Michelle would take one term to save the country. She’d crush Trump.

It's only theoretical until she actually campaigns. And also, 11 points where?

Wonder what the Trump nickname for her would be.

Why would Michelle Obama make a good president? Adjacency?

I realize the whole thing is a popularity contest now anyway, so someone popular and evil is not a bad outcome. I just wish the entire thing would move away from the whole Kanye West direction a bit.

Oprah with a VP of The Rock.

If we're going with celebrities now, may as well be those two.

They've completely screwed themselves. New Jersey should not be in play.

Independents and younger people probably, she'd probably also be very good at getting out the vote.

MAGA's gross nickname for her is "Big Mike" because Obama being married to someone trans or somehow that makes Obama secretly gay makes them feel better about life or something.
