A dream ticket

[Aviation Pro]

Bloomberg/Obama (Michelle) with the big guy campaigning and eventually becoming a member of SCOTUS.

I think with the Bloomberg commercials showing President Obama supporting the former this is a distinct possibility.

[doc03]

1. Maybe

[UniteFightBack]

2. Biden/Abrams. nt

[Aviation Pro]

5. I'd vote for that

But I'm voting for everything Blue.

[UniteFightBack]

6. She said she 'wants it' in an interview - and I mean from anyone offering...so that is a lock. nt

[Funtatlaguy]

3. Any ticket with Michelle or Oprah would win....alas, they won't run.

[Moderateguy]

13. At this point Oprah wouldn't even win the black vote

I guess you have not seen her being called out by other black entertainment industry figures for her willingness to bash black men on #Metoo while remaking silent on the powerful white predators

[Funtatlaguy]

14. Guess I missed that. Oh boy.

[Tipperary]

21. Oprah?

Good god, the celebrity worship in this country...

[Rorey]

27. She's influential, but not qualified

Of course neither is -45.

[Horizens]

4. Klobucher/Booker N/T

[jzola]

7. Poor Michelle

Why would she need to be VP to Bloomberg——She would be elected President on her own I’d she is the least bit interested. And she’s said NO.

[CalFione]

8. Michelle would never accept.

[Aviation Pro]

17. You haven't seen

The Bloomberg ads featuring President Obama have you?

[CalFione]

18. I saw it. It is misleading.

Obama has never been that close with Bloomberg. Bloomberg is trying to make it seem that Obama is endorsing him, but he really isn't. Every candidate has similar clips with Obama complimenting them.


Michelle Obama would be nobody's vice president, and certainly not Bloombergs.

[Aviation Pro]

20. Here in the swingiest of swing states (FL)

I haven’t seen any other candidates’ ads.

[Red Oak]

9. My dream ticket would not include Bloomberg

I'm not into men buying the Presidency and don't think that is what the Democratic party is about.

Bloomberg is a dangerous choice.

[Red Oak]

10. Take away Bloomberg and it would be a much better ticket.

I'm not into men buying the Presidency and don't think that is what the Democratic party is about.

Bloomberg is a dangerous choice.

Mix Bloomie's brains, money and authoritative bent (e.g. stop and frisk) with the current executive privilege of the Executive Presidency and you have the makings of a wannabe dictator.

People should stop and think before voting for a Bloomberg advertisement as him being a Democratic savior.

You really want the Democratic "party of the working man" to be run by a top 1% Lion of Wall Street uber-capitalist? Seriously?

Bloomie is just trying to take advantage of an opening where he can buy more power than he has ever wet-dreamed of for a good price. He ran as a Republican to get the Mayorship of New York City. He is just a dangerous opportunist.

11. Spot on

[Aviation Pro]

15. Every time

Someone makes a donation they are buying the presidency.

Bloomberg is cutting out the middle man.

[Red Oak]

32. He has the ability to cut out everyone.

Eom

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. Oh, dear lord.

When has Michelle Obama ever expressed interest in running?

[Aviation Pro]

16. She hasn't

Yet.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

22. I believe she's made it clear she has zero interest in running for office.

A few years ago people were in ecstasy over the possibility that Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg would run for office. In more recent years people think Chelsea Clinton would run for office.

If people are interested in running for office they do so. Fantasizing about some dream candidate takes time away from actually supporting a real candidate.

[Aviation Pro]

25. When your country needs you

You put aside selfish interests and serve.

The vets here have that embedded in their DNA.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

29. Somehow, that doesn't work for me.

There are a number of decently qualified people running, and trying to rope in someone who has zero interest hardly counts as putting aside selfish interests and serving.

[bigbrother05]

28. Only way Michelle runs is if drafted by a locked convention, then at the top of the ticket

Could imagine her being convinced to run by the party leaders as a consensus candidate to save the country.

[jcmaine72]

19. Statistically, there was a better chance of Michelle Obama

being stopped and frisked by Bloomberg's police department in the early-2000's than of her ever serving as his running mate for anything.

Michelle Obama could be President on her own if she so desired. In fact, if she were running this year. She'd easily be 50 percentage points ahead in the primaries of whomever was in 2nd place, including my main man Bernie.

I honestly wish she had run. None of us would've been asked to sell our souls or compromise everything we traditionally believe as Democrats as the price for victory if she had. She'd easily trounce Dotard while upholding all of or values as Democrats. Imagine that?

Oh well....

[squirecam]

23. Yes

She would truly be the unity candidate.

[nobuddy]

24. Even better: Bloomberg/Romney

might even get 50 states with that lineup.

[redstatebluegirl]

26. I like Biden Harris because I think it is a winning combination.

Michelle hated running, she HATED the White House, no way she runs no matter what.

[Squinch]

31. Bloomberg/Abrams

[Aviation Pro]

33. That'll work too.

Also Gillum.
