Sorry to burst your bubble, but Talk Show Hosts do not rule the roost. Bachmann could not even get support among conservative republicans in the primary, to argue she could win a national election is laughable. If someone can’t win a primary, which she obviously is not going to do, they sure as hell have zero chance in the General.
Bachmann is a loud mouth who engages in extreme Hyperbole for effect, and some latch onto that, but she has no chance of winning a general election, no matter what entertainer you listen to tells you.
