Former Bill Clinton Pollster: Michelle Obama Is Best Candidate To Beat Donald Trump In 2020
Newsweek ^ | September 10, 2017 | Harriet Sinclair

Former first lady Michelle Obama is the right candidate to run for Democrats in 2020, according to a former Bill Clinton pollster.

Douglas Schoen said in an op ed for The Hill that Obama would fare better against incumbent Donald Trump than any of the other candidates who are being touted as potential future leaders.

“As I’ve said before, the Democrats need an alternative plan to rebuild and unite the party if they have any hope in winning back seats in Congress in the 2018 midterms, nonetheless the White House in 2020,” Schoen wrote for The Hill.

“This alternative plan requires a new, united opposition, led by a political leader with widespread popularity. The only person I can see accomplishing this would be none other than the party’s most popular political figure: Michelle Obama,” he added....

In 2020, I want to suspend the part of the Constitution that specifies only a prez and a vice prez for the exec branch.

Why?

Because a libhole demonicrat ticket consisting of michael obama, mark efferberg, hillarhoids, ca’s kamel-toe harris, the faux squaw, joe pedo biden, and george salami-baloney-clooney would be an epicly losing freak show.

She’d get 45% of the vote without lifting a finger. Could she get enough to beat Trump? That’s a different issue but I think blowing her off is a mistake.

Moochelle does not have an easy speaking style, and condescension is her natural pose. Add to which, the fact that she does not like America and Americans has been on display for everyone to observe and record for 8 yrs plus.

While not stupid, she's not particularly smart. Debating would not be her strong suit.

And, she really should stop wearing that large bustle.

Fake news. He would eat her up. She’s in the mix only because she’s black. Gotta keep it going. They’re worried.

Obama got an incredible surge from the black voters, which was not replicated for Hillary. This completely shattered their plan to keep the presidency forever by cycling through every minority and hyphen group one after the other. Hillary showed them that the black vote will not show up in mass numbers for anyone else except black candidates.

Which now puts them in a big bind. They need a black candidate, but will other minority groups continuously vote for blacks, or will they start to sit out as well when the candidate is black?

And what about the white democrat vote? White candidates will be less and less supported, so eventually they will move elsewhere. Can minorities make up for that?

> Yes, yes, please listen to him....

Unless Trump gets a significant part of the wall done, fully repeals DACA or ObamaCare, and there are tangible improvements to the job market, any non-white female run by the Dems will win.

That would be fun. Trump would destroy the Wookie. It wouldn’t even be close after Trump unleashed upon her.

A candidate whose bottom is bigger than a barrel. Lol!

At best she'd be a Governor or Senator for 18 months when she announced.And before becoming a Senator or Governor she,unlike Trump,has accomplished absolutely *nothing* beforehand.

But in her favor...she's female (or so they say) and she's *entirely* black.Both those things would be big pluses to certain demographics.As a point of reference it must be noted that Osama was elected twice *entirely* thanks to white guilt.

And there's nothing to indicate any scandals in her past...unless you want to consider the $300K/yr no show job in Chicago.

Fax me whatever it is you’re smoking. BTW, search the keyword “jobs” here. There are already tangible improvements in the US job market.

If they dems are allowed to import illegal alien voters like they did in California, then yes.

Trump must outright kill DACA and get a good chunk of the border wall up, or he will be toast, especially since the Dems will be prepared to cheat by wider margins in 2020.

Doug, I think your time has come and gone. You’re such a fool. A month ago you were all in for Kamala Harris.

Black men, along with white men, Hispanic men and every other form of men will never, ever, in billions of years, vote for Michelle Obama, for godsake.

This is one of the more epic liberal wet dreams.
