If She Doesn’t End Up In Prison Michele Bachmann Says She May Run For President in 2016

Disgraced soon to be former Rep. Michele Bachmann said during an interview that she might run for president again in 2016.

In an interview with RealClearPolitics, Bachmann said, “The only thing that the media has speculated on is that it’s going to be various men that are running. They haven’t speculated, for instance that I’m going to run. What if I decide to run? And there’s a chance I could run.”

There is also a chance that Bachmann could end up in federal prison, but more on that later.

I don't ask for much..PLEASE let this republihump run! WE NEED THE HUMOR!

They need a candidate from Texas, so maybe there will be a movement to draft Louie Ghomert.

Delusion must be contagious in the gop. How would Marcus feel about being FLOTUS? Does he have his dress picked out for the Innauguration? Maybe Michelle could ask PayMe to be VP. After all the experience $carah had the last time, I am sure she could rile up even more skinheads this time?

Few things discredit your excuse for a political party more than trashy, bigoted hypocrites like you participating in Presidential primaries.

O please let her run. And any registered Republicans on this forum, vote for her in the primaries so that more viable Republicants are eliminated. Bachmann makes Palin seem sagacious. Just backing her for the party's sake will sink other Republicants for years to come.

watching failures in part by the GOP. This should be a total disaster. Let her run. Damn, how many times do you need to be kicked in the teeth until you finally realize that your teeth are important. On the other hand, there's just no fix for stupid. Bingo!!!!

this is not worth considering, a minor distraction. Jebbie boy is the real candidate, mark my words. And he will get LOTS of votes. Americans are REALLY that gullible. I know another word would be more appropriate but offense is so easily taken by so many. She's a non starter.

Recall that the RNC has implied they would fight against the "dime a dozen" debates that allowed candidates that were utter jokes (cough, Herman Cain) to actually become the front runner for a few weeks.

If Bachmann were to attempt to run would the RNC actually take steps to torpedo her campaign before she had a chance to remind the public just how F'ed up the GOP's positions really are?

attacked them. It was the most pathetic thing to watch. She would attack them in debates and they would all go on as if no one had said anything.

Unfortunately the video doesnt go on much after her comments, but they all basically brushed them off.
