Michelle Obama says she wants nothing to do with politics now, but oddsmakers still say she’s got the best chance of any Democrat of winning the White House in four years.

Bovada, an online gambling site, says the odds of Mrs. Obama winning are 12-to-1. The next-best Democrats, Sen. Tim Kaine and Elizabeth Warren, get odds of 14-to-1.

By contrast three Republicans have higher odds: President-elect Donald Trump is a 2-to-1 bet to repeat, while Vice President-elect Mike Pence and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan are each given 10-to-1 odds.

Not going to happen. Not in 2020. Not ever.

Joan paid with her life for truth telling.

This is the reason they didn’t want a pic of Mooch standing by Melania. People can see the man arms and big ole hands and feet.

Chewbacka the Wookie is as unlikable as hILLary.

Let’s be honest. That is not true. Imagine you were sitting next to her at a lunch. I honestly think I could have a pleasant time. But Hillary? I wouldn’t even be able to sit down.

Dim wives of ex-_residents do not do well in running for the presidency but please do not tell them, ok? ;-)

No More 'Turn' crap. First it will be the first black female president, then the first black female lesbian president, then the first trans president, then the first gay dude, then the first whatever pick of diversity is next.

I can't wait to see the headline "The first openly Queer presidential candidate". You know like the LGBTQ stuff . . . does this mean that I'm a homophobe?

[RayChuang88]

Nope. More likely will be either Julian or Joaquin Castro from Texas or Gavin Newsom from California.

That’s A LOT of experience!

Then Trump will have to remove all the W keys from the keyboards to honor the incoming Wookie

Mine was apolitical until she married into a DC area family 15+ years ago, and just recently started personally posting hate and intolerance to her siblings’ Facebook pages for supporting Trump.

Fortunately, she doesn’t live nearby. :)

I also have two other normal sisters.

Oddsmakers don't predict the future. They initially predict and then continuously rebalance the odds at which half the bettors will bet on each side of a contest whether those bettors are rational or not. I knew someone who made quite a bit of money betting against Notre Dame because he estimated that all the ND fans pushed the line about three points from reality.

“Her” best photo.

Oh yeah, I can see the Latino men voting for a black women. Sure.

She can be very dramatic when reading from a teleprompter, passing that prerequisite.

[mulligan]

What a disaster that would be.

[doorgunner69]

Is that a guy ???

Damn right it is.............

Stephen Dinan is a ditz-head.
All he does is quote polls and liberal friends.
His goal is to get on as many TV shows as he can as “an expert”.

Take his articles as fantasy.

I see the bottom line here is that the dems have NO viable candidate anytime in the future. They can only run victim types: minorities, womyn, celebrities, etc.

It's a wonderful thing.

[oldbill]

“And her qualifications are.....that she lived in the White House?”

Worked for Hillary.

Michelle/Kanye 2020 NEVER!
