Put the country before himself - yes, finally, but he’s done it.

Please God let my country be ok.

Why isn’t Michelle Obama running for it? I thought she’d be good and is very popular.

She. Doesn't. Want. To. Be. President.
How many times?!

Oh my goodness. Then we’d better listen!

He’s very astute, and knows his onions.

Could someone please tell me what qualifies Michelle Obama to run for the presidency? She hasn't been a congresswoman, or a senator. She spent two terms as First Lady. The US president is not a figurehead, the incumbent occupies the most powerful and responsible role in the free world. Trump had no political, military or diplomatic experience, did that end well? I can't understand why her candidacy would be seriously considered.

She went to Harvard Law school. Law is a good premise for politics. From Wikipedia;

In 1991, she held public sectorr* positions in the Chicago city government as an Assistant to the Mayorr, and as Assistant Commissioner of Planning and Development. In 1993, she became executive director for the Chicago office of Public Alliess, a non-profit organization encouraging young people to work on social issues in nonprofit groups and government agencies.[26] She worked there nearly four years and set fundraisingg* records for the organization that still stood twelve years after she had left.[20] Obama later said she had never been happier in her life prior to working "to build Public Allies".[78]

Bless him? Hope he rots

But it wasn't donors opinions about who was running that you were talking about - you said that 'top dems' weren't worried about an extreme right Trump II presidency.

You're just changed the topic of conversation?

You seem to just want to argue. I don’t think you understand who “top dems” are or frankly, much else about the US. Have you ever actually lived here? Paid taxes? Bought gasoline with your own $ in the past month? Or is it just that “most of your work is there”. Because I can say that about many places and it doesn’t mean I know jack about living there.

Ive not heard this before otherwise I wouldn’t have asked. Obviously. So there’s no need to be so RUDE.

CarrieCardigan · 21/07/2024 22:07

Our friends in the US told us the only person who can beat Trump is Michelle Obama but she has repeatedly said no.

However, it’s interesting that President Obama has praised Biden but stopped short of endorsing Harris making the point that the race is still open. 🤔

Anthony Scaramucci is saying that nobody should underestimate Kamala Harris because she hasn't had a chance to show what she's capable of. He thinks that she's capable of putting together a winning coalition like Obama did.

Interesting.

They've had ages to chew over this thorny issue. I'm sure some names have been suggested.

I literally have no idea what you're talking about now.

I was happy to engage, but you're on your own mission here, so I'll wish you a pleasant evening.

ImCamembertTheBigCheese · 21/07/2024 22:10

Well, we now know who will win the election

Wendycoping · 21/07/2024 22:10

Michelle Obama? Why on earth? She's basically a celebrity and although she's a very bright woman is she even working in politics at the moment?

SingleDadReally · 21/07/2024 22:10

Definitely DON’T God bless him. He’s drenched in the blood of 40,000 Palestinians and has enabled a genocide.

Sorry, what??

Dont talk rubbish. Pretty sure Biden is not to blame for the situation in Palestine which is complex and spans many decades.

Are you now going to say that Trump didn’t start any wars? 🥱

Wendycoping · 21/07/2024 22:13

I'm saying Gavin Newsome or Josh Shapiro. I don't think they'll pick Kamala Harris at all.

Did Trump start any wars?

Callmemel · 21/07/2024 22:16

The optics of NOT going with KH are problematic. I think she'll top the ticket, but I know liberal, Dem voters who aren't ready for a Black female president. Depressing, but true.

They seem like strong candidates but there's talk they might hold our for 2028.

That first line is certainly true and I think that’s for the best. Have a great night.
