I actually had hoped that she might run as Sarah’s VP before this blunder.

It really is interesting the lengths that many on this forum will go in excusing the past indiscretions of “The Donald” (e.g. giving generous donations to hard core leftists like Reid, Schumer, Weiner, and Emanuel), but after one comment in an interview, Michelle Bachmann is thrown under the Bus.
Bachmann has battle scars from her non-stop, relentless fight for the conservative cause, and she’s as good as dead to many in this forum. But the Donald, who’s actively supported hard core leftists whose goal it is to destroy the country, is supported without question, with all past indiscretions forgiven. In fact, many on this forum will not tolerate any criticism of the Donald!
This makes me want to puke!
This is hardball and mistakes are often fatal. If she were to come back and show ANY knowledge of the nature of the media and the nature of this birth certificate she might resurrect whatever tiny chance she had.
Trump has ONE attractive feature to me and that is he will not be buffaloed or controlled by the media because he knows exactly what it is. Where did I excuse anything he has done. In fact, I have often stated that I can’t really see him running because he could not withstand the scrutiny his past deals will be given. He has had to contribute to scummy RATs in NYC and Chicago in order to do business and I am sure there are underhanded deals with the underworld and its unions in both places as well.
All Michelle had to do was not get ambushed by Georgie Porgie, Sarah would not have. Few of us here who have familiarized ourselves with the BC issues would have shoved that fraudulent paper down the little twirps throat.
The flub about Lexington was pretty bad but this very bad.
Bachmann makes an extremely good Congresswoman. She doesn’t have IT to be President, at least not now.
You don’t set yourself up to be a national figure and then make dumb remarks. Especially if you’re a Republican. Especially if you are a Republican woman. And, most especially if you are a pretty Republican woman. (the only kind, of course)
And you sure as hell don’t make comments to turn off a good segment of your base to please a member of the MSM in his gotcha game.
Art, the sheer magnitude of Michele's failure in the George Stephanopolous interview is too mind blowing for most grounded conservatives and center-right voters to ignore.
It was her "Mondale" moment, and she will not recover from it, no matter how much any of us admires her.
Trump hater alert
Bachmann has flip flopped on this issue twice. The other day within a few minutes. On Fox she was supporting Trump looking into Obama BC issue and a few minutes later she accepts the COLB as proof and says it is settled. WHICH IS IT MICHELE? She was crafting her answer to fit the network she was on and their listeners.
If she would have just stayed away from the issue, I could understand that. To have polar opposite positions in the matter of a few minutes is inexcusable. Sorry.
