She's been very clear and pointed that she is not interested.

We are fighting the fanatics of a cult! We need a counter to that level of devotion and she has it!

I do agree that she is well respected and loved.

My question remains, what is *Michael Moore*, the person himself getting, besides attention, when he keeps pushing M.O. She has been clear she is not interested.
Thank you for your reply

This dude is spot on! Action action action. People voted to see the Democratic Party do something ok. So that son of a Mitch kills it in the Senate good people see we need to get rid of the Republicans in the senate. I do like is Michelle Obama fantasy draft but the truth of the matter is out of the 20 ish candidates we have we need to clean up the mob to about the top 5

that trumpft would win. He never said he backed trumpft or that he wanted trumpft to win. Understanding the difference went right over some peoples heads, especially those who for some reason love to hate on Michael Moore.

Why debate something that you believe has no legitimacy?

11. He supported Ralph Nader. Why does anyone listen to him?

He smears Democrats and the Democratic party with outrageous LIES (ie: "both parties are the same" and "no difference between the Democrats and the GOP'') almost as much as someone else that I also have zero respect for.

than the majority of those who like to badmouth him here. It is usually worthwhile to listen to this man regardless if you agree or not.

14. Michael Moore should be listened to. He's got more chutzpah than any of those panelists.

Let's not forget 3 Billionaires who were college dropouts: Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg. I love it that he said he didn't want to talk about that jackass Thomas Freedman.
