What If Michelle Obama Challenged Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Nomination?
Rasmussen ^ | May 14, 2015

Posted on 05/14/2015 12:09:36 PM PDT by COUNTrecount

Michelle Obama for president? What if she ran against the seemingly impregnable Hillary Clinton?

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 14% of Likely U.S. Voters think the first lady should run for president. Seventy-one percent (71%) disagree, but another 15% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Among black voters, however, 40% think Obama should run, and only 41% disagree. One-in-five (18%) is undecided. Seventy-eight percent (78%) of whites and 59% of other minority voters oppose a presidential bid by the first lady.

In a hypothetical matchup with Hillary Clinton, the putative Democratic presidential nominee in 2016, Obama earns 44% support from black voters to Clinton’s 36%.

Among Likely Democratic Voters, it’s Clinton 56%, Obama 22%. That appears to be a better showing against Clinton than Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, the only other announced Democratic presidential candidate, makes at this point.

Among all voters, Clinton earns 37% support to Obama’s 17%. A sizable 40% prefer some other candidate.

I’ve been predicting for months that at the last minute, when Clinton either is gasping for air and/or leaves the race, Michelle will step forward to save her party.

“What If Michelle Obama Challenged Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Nomination?”

We would only hope that the evening of the first debate, the city they were having it in was nuked from orbit....just to be sure.

That would really frost Hitlerina to be beat out twice by an Obama. Democrat postal.

I agree with the scenario, but am convinced it will be Fauxcahontas who rides in to the rescue.

Just what we need, another Obama or Clinton or Bush in the WH.

Bill Clinton? Maybe? When he was extremely drunk?

They might just cancel each other votes. Secondly, both running would symbolize just how far America has gone down the road to its end.

Mooch already be practicing the black preacher voice, for sure, and givin’ angry speeches

Listening to her cadence and delivery at Tuskegee, I thought “She’s been coached...why?”

seems the only tool certain politicians have in their kit is anger and she is stoking it

Hussein won’t allow it. He stands to make millions from speaking fees. He won’t like having to wait another 4-8 years.

It would be a Republican’s dream come true: two of the most humorless, charmless, unappealing Democrats ripping each other to shreds would make ANY Republican candidate look pretty good when the general election rolled around.

Considering the immunity from criticism that Barack the First enjoyed just for being the “first black”, imagine how untouchable Michelle Obama would be for being the first angry black lesbian. The left probably loves Michelle just for maxing out her score on the special status scale. I’ll stick with voting based on ability and qualifications, which makes me a minority, even among legal voters.
