RE: Michelle is a bit of a flake who was only a congresswoman and couldn’t use that to attain any position as a leader.
She couldn’t attain a position as a leader PRECISELY because the positions she stands for are AGAINST most of the current GOP leadership.
But on the issues, SHE IS SOLID. Even more solid than Richard Nixon himself.
And on immigration, I say she is more right than Reagan was.
Bachmann couldn’t grab any power in congress because she is flaky and weak, that is why she hired Rollins and went after Palin, she was basically a patsy for Romney.
The best thing that worked for Bachmann is being able to sound good on stage, and resembling Governor Palin at the right time.
Bachmann is not anywhere close to being presidential material, or even Governor material, and you are wrong to keep comparing President Nixon and President Reagan to her, and calling them retreads.
