When I walked into his South Los Angeles barbershop Thursday morning, Lawrence Tolliver had a question. Did I think Donald Trump would be reelected. Yes, I said. His supporters are rabid, no matter what he says or does. We’re looking at a trillion-dollar deficit, and the GOP — the party of fiscal conservatism— just shrugs. Consumer prices are rising because of tariffs and a recession is feared, but Trump’s populist supporters don’t mind. (Snip) The Dems, meanwhile, don’t have a single candidate who’s caught fire. It’s early, and maybe it’ll still happen. But if the nominee is on the left

Note to the customers - Moochie will be SOL once AG Barr blows the lid off of Obie's role in the Russian collusion thing. Not sure Moochie wants to run anyway because she is racist. Notice that Billary is keeping a low profile, too? Between her financing the dossier and a suspected role in Epstein's assisted suicide, and advancing Parkinson's, Billary has her share of baggage, too.

Michelle and her husband are making way too much money to worry anymore about the highest office in the land. Dollar signs are in their eyes. And for someone who said "at some point you make enough money" he obviously hasn't reached that threshold yet. In their 50's, worth muti-millions of dollars and all the time in the world to enjoy it. They are living the life and while they might chew around the edges of politics they will not jump in. You have heard of fantasy football well this is fantasy politics.

Oh, come on. Mooch beating Trump? By what measure does this grifter have a chance? She's as unlikeable as Hitlery, and has never done anything in her life, and that could also be said of her husband.

Well, you have to admit it would be fun to see Barack as First Lady, something he's always wanted to be.

Well, they're buying the summer White House instead of renting.

Mrs. O. has barely worked a day in her life and has no intention of doing so now. They just bought a mansion/estate on L.I.. You think they are going to live in a fishbowl rather than their new 'digs'. The first question that should be asked is where did the $ come from to buy a $14+M mansion, notwithstanding her recent "vacation" that cost a mint per night. She wants to live the 'good life' which in her book means taking vacations from a non-job. Now that she has seen the $ , that is all she cares about. She didn't build that, you know, it was given to her.

The only person who can beat Trump is Trump. The Mooch needs to spend more time paying attention to her daughters.

Not interested?? Since when do you believe a word that comes out of a Dem politician's mouth? I think she's just coasting so she doesn't have to get into the 24 Dem scrum, and somewhere around the convention here comes the money. Lots of money. And the first Black Woman president? Eat that Hillary. Barry's not endorsing Joe for a reason.

The way the MSM keeps panning whatever Dim candidate that starts gathering momentum. Mooch as a dark horse candidate at the Convention is not out of the question. The constant drumbeat of Racism, and White Supremacist is being pounded out constantly for a reason.
Is it to clear the way for a Mooch Candidacy? If so, there is going to be a spike in violent demonstrations in an attempt to cow the opposition from getting involved in the election process.

Pipe dream of the left. She has said over and over, she has no interest. I have always said she hated her time in the WH and she hates politics in general. She has made no secret of this fact. The left are so desperate right now.

Perhaps Lopez' purpose in writing this column was provocation or agitation.

Mooch is too lazy to be president, or to have any job that requires here to show up.

Michelle Obama for president? No way. She is enjoying 'the good life' now. She isn't about to take on a 24 hour job, 365 days a year times four. A couple of her one hour speeches pays what the presidency pays annually.
There is no way she would do anything else other than what she is doing now which is nothing. She enjoys nothing. She married nothing and now she is Mrs. Nothing.
But I bet my monthly income she is enjoying the 'coaxing' she is getting from her circles
and the left.

Come on you skeptics. Isn’t it possible that Mrs. Obama has been hiding her brilliance and wisdom under a bushel, or perhaps a 50 gallon barrel, all this time, just waiting for the call to lead the county out of certain Trumpism?

This would be some bad news for Elizabeth Warren the first angry native American versus the first angry racist black woman.

Ya'll are forgetting one thing.... if mooch should ever win, we would be subjected to another 4 or 8 years of valjar running things from behind the curtain, while mooch, barack and the girls vacation on our dime, yet again.

Michelle Obama has never run anything except Barack Obama and her kids. She has no business or government experience. Clearly the leftist and liberal Democrats could care less as long as they think, as a celebrity, she could oust President Trump and for all intents and purposes put both Obamas back in the White House and the leftist and liberal Democrats back in power, as to those Democrats political power justifies all or any means they decide to use.
The problem for the leftist and liberal Democrats is will the Obamas give up their celebrity “good life” to again be harnessed to the White House for four or eight more years, as the Obamas have already been there and done that?

Forget the Mooch. The HildaWitch is still out there, staying visible and waiting for Biden's weaknesses to become evident to the party rank and file.

Agree with #'s 15 and 19. Big MO made no secret of how much she hated being in the WH, both literally and figuratively. She has no party loyalty, no commitment to "her people" and no real convictions beyond "I deserve it all and more."

Not so fast. She could be a deaf mute and almost every black in the country would vote for her based on the color of her skin.

For what it's worth, customers at black barbershop are not impressed with any of the Dems. So they dream of St. Me-Chelle on the ticket.
