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.

Moochelle will not run because she is more interested in making big bucks peddling influence. However much the Clintons were able to rake in the Obamas are entitled to more.

Barry is going to spend most of his time on the golf course, making the occasional $500,000 speech, and spending the big up front payment some idiot publisher will pay for the next "autobiography" that Bill Ayers will ghost write for him.

If she is the best they got, their team is pretty lousy

Damn straight. That's a really weak bench to draw from.

Too many white men qualified.

You forgot Wise Latina.

You are correct. The list is endless. If we keep pandering to this 'Turn' crap, the left will keep putting up the next Turn person until we are Venezuela.

They will go for as much identity stutus as possible. Not just black, they will shoot for it also being a woman and/or Latino and/or homosexual and/or transgender. As much as they can.

If Michelle were to win, we would still not have a woman as president.

Yes, but Obama got elected twice and drew out more enthusiasm from racial minorities. I wouldn’t be surprised if a diversity candidate would do that too.

This is nothing but name recognition. Ryan could not win. If Romney were SOS he would have a chance in four years provided Trump did not run. Otherwise Pence is the odds on favorite.

Elizabeth Warren is the champion of the left. But she has never really been a campaigner. If the Donald fell apart you could expect here to be a strong candidate a la Bernie. But Kaine is dead. The country does not like him.

However, now that Trump has shown the way, other celebrities may try to get in the race. They would have to be quick witted, thick skinned and appeal to a large base. I am sure there is someone out there pompous enough to do it.

“Democrats’ best bet for 2020”

In terms of having solid Dem support, I don’t disagree - she is their best bet.

“My moonbat sister started campaigning for “her” on Nov. 9.”

You’ve got one too? But, I’m lucky that I’ve got 2 others who are normal.

My moonbat sister went to Stanford in the ‘60s, and she went hard left and has yet to wise up. I’ll never forget my mother saying to her: “The biggest mistake we ever made was allowing you to go to Stanford.”

Excellent. If that is their best bet. Imagine, after all our international dealings have been turned around with us as at least co-beneficiaries. Imagine businesses brought back to the USA and millions more in productive labor here. We all learn that an excellent CEO is probably the best kind of president to have. We are grateful for The President Donald’s strong ego, natural generosity and kindness, and excellent business experience.

And they put up an insecure, selfish Mooch with no experience at any worthwhile job in her life???

Stop it, my sides hurt!!!
