A few days ago (Aug 3), I posted some raw thoughts on the state of the Democratic Presidential candidate situation, and I opined that the odds of a brokered convention were fairly significant, although still less than 50-50 (I would say maybe 1 out of 3). And I thought that if the primary delegate system does break down in Milwaukee next July, Hilary Clinton would have a good shot of being the Chosen One. I felt that Michelle Obama was a bit too classy and maybe a bit too frail to take Trump on face-to-face; despite the buzz that she is getting, e.g. Michael Moore’s recent promotion<\/a> of a Michelle Obama candidacy. <\/p>\n

However, a few days later, I was discussing my theory about Hilary with my conservative Trump-supporting political friend at work, and he said that thinks it would be good if Michelle does not run.<\/p>\n

Which got me thinking . . . hey, if a rabid Trump supporter says that Michelle’s staying on the sidelines would be good, then perhaps I was missing something in my previous analysis. I wrote my friend a response to his response, and I will share some of it next:<\/p>\n

Oh, so M.O. worries you . . . you hope that I\u2019m right that she isn\u2019t up to it . . . most interesting !!!<\/p>\n

I think I\u2019m starting to see it . . . yes<\/p>\n

If the Dems go into chaos and the back-room people take the helm in Milwaukee \u2013 oh boy, imagine the scene outside the hall. Chicago 1968 all over again, Antifas going full throttle.<\/p>\n

So the big boys draft Michelle, they put a $$$ muzzle on the indoor lefties (the Warren\/Sanders axis), and Michelle makes a wonderful speech that calms the waters with the rabble in the streets \u2013 her first miracle.<\/p>\n

Trump throws mud at her left and right, as usual \u2013 but of course, she goes high when they go low. She would just leave it all unanswered, she would mostly ignore Trump right thru election night. At the debates, she would just pretend that he\u2019s not there, stick to her points, keeps smiling.<\/p>\n

Trump has a lock on his 40% base, as you point out. <\/p>\n

BUT \u2013 suburban women are very turned off<\/a> by the GOP response to the shootings. And Michelle totally owns suburban women, so Trump completely loses them. And Michelle would also amp up black turnout. Between those two effects, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan are gone from Trump, back in the blue. North Carolina flips blue, and so does Georgia! Perhaps Trump pulls off a flip in Minnesota and holds Arizona (which is gonna be tough for him), but ain\u2019t enough. One term Trump.<\/p>\n

THANKS MUCH . . . now I get it! <\/p>\n

Michael Moore, you are right! Long live Queen Michelle!<\/p>\n

(Actually, the country could do a whole lot worse than having Michelle Obama as its President. E.g., having Trump for another four years!).<\/p>\n

PS — and now the far-right nationalist Stephen Bannon, in his capacity as a pundit, is speculating that the Democrats will draft<\/a> Michelle Obama once they realize that all of their current prospects aren’t ready to go toe-to-toe with Trump!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
