Bernie Bro Just Wondering Who Her Royal Highness Michelle Obama Thinks She Is Anyway

This particular young man is called Michael Sainato, and not only does he know, to the very core of his very earnest being, that Bernie Sanders is far superior to every other human being in history, but Mrs. Bernie Sanders is the other greatest human being (for a lady) in history as well:
The past three first ladies; Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, and Hillary Clinton all share a common insincere, yet polished, demeanor inherent with an affluent lifestyle. Senator Bernie Sanders’ wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, provides an authentic alternative to this status quo.

Would a POTUS sans FLOTUS (or FGOTUS) playing such a role even be feasible in your contemporary Republic?

Hillary Clinton did away with those expectations when she was First Lady, even though the media and the RW radio hosts raked her over the coals for it.

Michelle is doing just fine.

FLOTUS and all that entails.

She's a wonderful First Lady.. the poor sanders supporter who dissed her says everything about him and absolutely nothing about FL Michelle.

Enough with the CTs.

A sexist (and arguably) racist attack on the First Lady.

I call upon the candidate to immediately reject and denounce this mean spirited and vicious tirade made by one of his own supporters.

And BTW, how was it that Laura Bush failed to polish those two daughters of hers at an early age?

Still, what is it with the young white affluent people and their desire to hypocritically take apart the system
that gives them the material wealth to which they enjoy?

I think she's been a magnificent First Lady, improving kids' nutrition and encouraging them to exercise. She danced with the So You Think You Can Dance all-stars! And I enjoy seeing her dressed up for state dinners in designer garb; she is gorgeous every time.

I support Bernie, I don't support all his supporters. Sometimes the young ones go overboard in ways that are pretty insufferable.

Mrs. Sanders was the President of Burlington college, I believe. Do people really think she's been milking goats at the side of her man all of these years as a political spouse?
