Michele Bachmann, the retiring Minnesota congresswoman and former presidential candidate, is again hinting that she may be interested in another run for the Oval Office.
“I don’t know how you’ll see me, but I would like to be in a situation where I can offer an opposing viewpoint to Hillary Clinton,” Bachmann told Politico in describing her post-congressional plans.

Dang theses losers who keep rising from the dead to run for president.
I thought with several strong seasoned accomplished potential candidates the likes of Huckabee, Santorum, Romney, and now Bachmann would get the message and go away but I guess I underestimated how egotistical some of these people are.
I love Bachmann and think she has an outside chance at being Ted Cruz’s VP... jmho
Not much more than that, tho
Running for president must be a money making deal. That’s all there is to it.
Just axe Brok Obama!!
I don’t think you even gotta get elected to make money. I’m sure there is some way to convert campaign donations into personal assets after the election is over.
Awww man.. c’mon!
I like her, but don’t like the direction this is going. Yet another conservative who can’t win (the media’s already done their hatchet job on her), jumping in to dilute/divide the conservative vote? NO thanks.
We need to unite early. Otherwise, party leadership is going to try to ram their own liberal (Jebby or Mittens?) through.
I think that Presidential candidates should serve at least one term as a governor, to demonstrate credibility as an executive.
Conservatives have an uncanny knack of loading up the primary and dividing the base. They also do not have the sense or integrity to gracefully bow out when it is apparent they are losing.
Please don’t.
Governor would be ideal, but I generally expect someone running for President to have at least shown they can win a state-wide race (e.g., Gov, Lt. Gov, AG, Senate) before they go national. I also strongly prefer executive experience - so governor fits the bill on both counts, but it's not the only way.
We need at least eight tea party candidates on the ballot to ensure that the base can again spend the ensuing four years complaining about how the GOPe blew it
I really hate the pre-primary season. Every damn politician pretends to be interested in running for President, so that they can get interviews and media attention.
No. I liked her as my Rep, and was happy to vote for her as such...
But, just...
No.
Ping for later read.
I used to really like her and then she voted to exempt herself and her staff from obamacare. It's okay in her world to impose it on me and my family, but not on her or her employeees.
If we are lucky enough to get a real conservative as POTUS one thing I'm looking for is none of the cabinet positions, or VP, be filled with people who agreed to impose on Americans laws that they exempted themselves from.
