What If Michelle Obama Challenged Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Nomination?
Rasmussen ^ | May 14, 2015

Posted on 05/14/2015 12:09:36 PM PDT by COUNTrecount

Michelle Obama for president? What if she ran against the seemingly impregnable Hillary Clinton?

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 14% of Likely U.S. Voters think the first lady should run for president. Seventy-one percent (71%) disagree, but another 15% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Among black voters, however, 40% think Obama should run, and only 41% disagree. One-in-five (18%) is undecided. Seventy-eight percent (78%) of whites and 59% of other minority voters oppose a presidential bid by the first lady.

In a hypothetical matchup with Hillary Clinton, the putative Democratic presidential nominee in 2016, Obama earns 44% support from black voters to Clinton’s 36%.

Among Likely Democratic Voters, it’s Clinton 56%, Obama 22%. That appears to be a better showing against Clinton than Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, the only other announced Democratic presidential candidate, makes at this point.

Among all voters, Clinton earns 37% support to Obama’s 17%. A sizable 40% prefer some other candidate.

Good idea! A young version of Aunt Ester ( Sanford & Son ) versus the wicked witch of the west.

TWO LOSERS vying for the right to LOSE AGAIN!

I would like to put forth another premise to explore. How about this: the Dems know it’s likely they won’t be able to cheat their way back into the White House in 2016 and that’s ok with them. The repercussions of all the destruction that has taken place since 2008 will come about during the next President’s 4 years and it will be ugly. And Big Media and the Dems (but I am being redundant) can then blame everything on the new Republican President. See how that works?

I’ve been predicting for months that at the last minute, when Clinton either is gasping for air and/or leaves the race, Michelle will step forward to save her party.

How so? She has no elective or administrative experience and hasn't shown much political skill so far. She'd be overwhelmed in the debates.

The Democrats will certainly make use of her to appeal to Black voters and keep the racial edge sharp during the campaign. If African-Americans approve of Michelle Obama, Hillary would be foolish not to make use of her, but Michelle wouldn't be a winning presidential candidate.

So, anybody want to give odds on HRC committing suicide if she loses the "it's my turn" nomination to another Obama?

Okay, I'm kind of kidding about this; but, really, her head would explode, right?

"the seemingly impregnable Hillary Clinton?" Who would attempt to impregnate that?!?!?

Yeah, I questioned the use of that word myself.

Hillary would love to have an opponent that's less likeable than she is.
Hillary can also do the "negro dialect" better than Moochy.

(thanks Harry Reid for making that an acceptable phrase)
