We now have a 50% chance of having a first gentleman in the White House.

With Patrick dropping out, there are now 8 candidates. Four of them have husbands.

All of the potential first ladies and first gentleman are more intelligent, accomplished and classier than Melania.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

The assessment you made is contingent on a 0% probability of a Republican getting elected (although I wish and hope that is true).

That is assuming that the republicans are defeated. If Trump wins then we certainly will have no gentleman in the white house.

She’s stuck married to a psycho the same way Pat Nixon was.
