Damn....I know she and her family have sacrificed so much already. I would support her for President in a heartbeat. Didn't that sort of thing happen in Argentina?....albeit I think the couple happened to be a bit corrupt??

She is an amazing woman. Maybe when her two girls are grown and married she might consider getting into the political fray again?

I realize she said she has no interest in doing. Things can change. Minds can change on things as well. Such a smart and kind person. She would be the medicine this country would benefit from.

Understood the reich wing would attempt to destroy her at every turn. They will do that to ANYONE running as a Democrat, especially a female, especially a person of color. She owes this country nothing more. The Obamas have sacrificed more than enough.

She would be most welcome and good for the country. Very probably never happen.

They don’t “have to be married”...would just spare them the vitriol.
