For the past week or two....I've tried to contemplate the Presidential election of Trump versus Michelle Obama. I've come to four observations.
1. It's an enormous amount of burden shifted to the news media....more than 2016's effort with Hillary Clinton....more than 2020's effort with Joe Biden, and even more than what was generated in 2008's election with Barak Obama.
CNN running 12 hours a day of hype for Michelle Obama? It's hard to imagine that you'd find enough commercial backers to make this hype possible.
2. This ending up with RFK Jr getting one out of every three Democratic votes? I'd go out and say in several states (NY for example)....it might be possible to get 50-percent of the Democratic votes.
I don't think RFK Jr will run in all fifty states....but if he just runs in half of them....it'll dissolve any chance of Michelle Obama of winning.
3. On debating between the three? No....I don't think Michelle Obama will agree to a single debate. Trump and RFK Jr probably will debate, and that will shift votes around.
4. I've seen the Oprah-like friendly interviews that Michelle Obama has done and she handled those in a positive way. Going to the level of blunt talk that either Joe Biden or Barak Obama have given? I've yet to see a single occasion of that type of talk.
It's like bringing up one of Hillary Clinton's top three problems....talking tough while speaking. She could not really deliver at the level required.
All of this effort now to open a 'path' for Joe Biden to exit, and this is the great replacement? I don't really buy into it.
