thedailycaller--2020-01-20--The Liabilities Of A Late-Stage Michelle Obama Candidacy

As the crowded Democratic presidential primary field inches toward Iowa , some Democrats are hoping for a savior candidate to emerge , such as former First Lady Michelle Obama .
Twelve candidates are still running for the Democratic nomination , but all of them have potentially fatal flaws .
The two front-runners right now are former Vice President Joe Biden and Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders .
Biden is 77 years old , gaffe prone , and has been in politics for almost half a century .
The former vice president has a history of supporting policies that could cause @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including his support for cutting social security , the Iraq War , and certain pro-life policies early in his career .
( RELATED : Have Democrats Poisoned The Well On Impeachment ? )
The 78-year-old Sanders also has the same age concerns , combined with a history of enraging the Democratic party .
Sanders has refused to register as a Democrat throughout the years , remaining an Independent , and proudly referring to himself as a socialist .
Other leading candidates such as Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former South Bend , Indiana @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history of dishonesty and her likeablity remains a serious electoral concern , while Buttigieg is polling extremely poorly among minority candidates .
These realities have ignited speculation on the left and the right that Michelle Obama could seek the White House .
After all , the thinking goes , Obama is brilliant , energetic , and beloved by both the party establishment and progressive base .
( RELATED : Here Are The Five 2020 Races That Could Determine Control Of The Senate ) Polling has backed this up and demonstrated that Obama is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would triumph over all the candidates currently running for her party ’ s nomination .
So , what ’ s the problem with Michelle Obama in 2020 ?
The main problem is that presidential campaigns are never that simple .
After all , Hillary Clinton was the most popular politician in America at one point , and also happens to be married to a popular former president .
Yet by the time she faced voters as the Democratic party ’ s nominee in the 2016 presidential election , she was one of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Such is the nature of U.S. politics , and possibly why Obama has repeatedly made clear that she does not want to run for president .
( RELATED : ‘ Error ’ Page On Trump ’ s Website Shows Hillary Clinton As President ) Obama appears to understand that having a likeable personality , and being a compelling speaker are not enough to become president , especially in a political era where those traditional traits matter less and less .
“ Just because I gave a good speech , I ’ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I should be the next president .
That ’ s not how we should pick the president , ” Obama said last month .
Then , there ’ s also the fact that even if Obama were to join the race tomorrow , she still would not be able to qualify for the ballot in the vast majority of primary states .
Obama ’ s entry this late in the campaign would be unprecedented in modern politics , and she would likely need a contested convention to win a majority of the delegates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely be extremely divisive , and could alienate supporters of other candidates who have been hitting the campaign trail for over a year .
This would be especially true if the candidate Obama surpassed at this Summer ’ s Democratic National Convention was Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders .
Supporters of Sanders are already full of contempt toward the Democratic establishment because of what happened in 2016 , and another attempt to cook the books in favor of an establishment candidate at Sanders ’ expense could lead to a civil war inside the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s progressive base staying home in November .
Not to mention , while former President Obama is personally popular , the policies of his administration haven ’ t stood the test of time .
The Affordable Care Act was the 44th president ’ s signature domestic policy achievement , and has largely been undone by the Trump Administration , who successfully repealed the individual mandate as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act , and is currently appealing to the Supreme Court to throw the rest of the law out following a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( RELATED : Chief Justice Roberts Has Begun To Make Some Conservatives Nervous ) President Obama ’ s signature foreign policy achievement was the Iran Nuclear Deal , which was scrapped by Trump in 2018 , and the Iranians also announced their intentions earlier this month to officially end compliance with the deal , and begin enriching its uranium .
The Democratic Party was also decimated politically under the Obama administration , losing over 1,000 legislative seats during the eight year period when Obama resided in the White House .
This data and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American people have been able to distinguish Obama the man from Obama the president , and may hold similar attitudes towards the former first lady .
Michelle Obama has repeatedly stated that she does not want to be president , and her husband has said death and taxes are the only two things in life more certain than the Obama ’ s not returning to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue .
In a perfect world for Democrats , the former first lady would ride in on a trojan horse to save the party in 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like that .
Michelle Obama may well play a role in the future of the Democratic Party , but she will not be the next president of the United States .

As the crowded Democratic presidential primary field inches toward Iowa, some Democrats are hoping for a savior candidate to emerge, such as former First Lady Michelle Obama.

thedailycaller--2020-01-21--Tucker Carlson Gives Donald Trump The Formula For Winning A Second Term

Fox News host Tucker Carlson laid out a formula for a GOP victory in November during a Monday night “ Tucker Carlson Tonight ” monologue .
Carlson began by tempering Republican expectations that a “ victory is assured ” based on the strong economy alone .
“ Trump could lose , ” he said , noting that the days of national landslides are long gone .
“ Will he lose ?
Well , that depends on what he runs on.
” While voters responded to then-candidate Donald Trump ’ s promise to “ Make America Great Again ” in 2016 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into the current economic numbers show there is still a long way to go .
“ The big numbers — unemployment and inflation to name two — tell one story , and it ’ s a good story , ” said the Fox News host .
“ But dig a little deeper .
A Pew poll from this fall provides a glimpse of what ’ s actually happening in a lot of parts of the country .
In that survey , 56 percent of Americans said the economy was excellent or good , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But then this : only 31 percent said the economy was helping them , and their families .
Just 32 percent thought the current economy was helping the middle class .
Fifty-eight percent thought the opposite .
Among lower-income Republicans , 47 percent said economic conditions were hurting them .
Just 30 percent said they were helping .
Now keep in mind , these aren ’ t sociology professors from the Oberlin faculty lounge .
This is the president ’ s core , it ’ s his base.
” With a middle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carlson argued that the candidate “ who makes it easier for 30-year-olds to get married and have kids will win the election , and will deserve to win.
” “ Remember that .
It ’ s truer than any economic theory conceived on any college campus in the last 100 years , ” he said .
“ Improve people ’ s lives , and they will vote for you .
Period .
Republicans ought to write that on their hands .
Otherwise , the temptation will be to focus entirely on the lunacy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now .
Democrats have gone crazy .
It ’ s definitely worth pointing that out repeatedly .
We do five nights a week .
But it ’ s not enough to win .
Winning candidates come with their own program .
They convince voters they will make things better.
” Carlson notes that if Sanders becomes the nominee , republicans will then start to remind people that “ socialism does not work , ” but Sanders could win with a promise to “ forgive student loans ” because “ debt is crushing an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to make a plan to make it better , or they will be left behind , ” said Carlson , who added that Republicans shouldn ’ t “ ignore the social issues ” important to ordinary Americans .
( RELATED : Tucker Exposes ‘ Ruling Class ’ Behind Border Policy Uproar : ‘ Their Goal Is To Change Your Country Forever ’ ) “ But ordinary people know the social fabric is coming apart , ” Carlson said .
“ A winning candidate will say that out loud .
Defend traditional values @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
There ’ s nothing embarrassing about it.
” “ Democrats aren ’ t promising change , ” he concluded .
“ They ’ re promising revolution : Centuries of American history and custom , abolished .
A nation starting over from scratch .
Year zero .
That ’ s what they ’ re calling for , and most people aren ’ t for that .
They may be frustrated with the state of the country , may are .
They may be anxious about the future , but they don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t want to topple George Washington and implement Maoism.
” He continued , “ They ’ re conservative in the most basic sense : they love their families above all .
They distrust radical theories of anything , because they know , and they ’ re right , that when the world turns upside down , ordinary people get hurt .
They don ’ t want to burn it down .
They just want things to get better .
The candidate who promises to make them better — incrementally , but tangibly — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ today .
”

Carlson began by tempering Republican expectations that a “victory is assured” based on the strong economy alone. In fact, according to the Fox News host, Bernie Sanders, should he win the Democratic nomination, could “win thousands of voters who went for Donald Trump” in 2016.”
“Trump could lose,” he said, noting that the days of national landslides are long gone. “Will he lose? Well, that depends on what he runs on.”

While voters responded to then-candidate Donald Trump’s promise to “Make America Great Again” in 2016, Carlson contended that a deeper dive into the current economic numbers show there is still a long way to go.
“The big numbers — unemployment and inflation to name two — tell one story, and it’s a good story,” said the Fox News host.
“But dig a little deeper. A Pew poll from this fall provides a glimpse of what’s actually happening in a lot of parts of the country. In that survey, 56 percent of Americans said the economy was excellent or good, and that’s the good news. But then this: only 31 percent said the economy was helping them, and their families. Just 32 percent thought the current economy was helping the middle class. Fifty-eight percent thought the opposite. Among lower-income Republicans, 47 percent said economic conditions were hurting them. Just 30 percent said they were helping. Now keep in mind, these aren’t sociology professors from the Oberlin faculty lounge. This is the president’s core, it’s his base.”
With a middle class still struggling in many areas, Carlson argued that the candidate “who makes it easier for 30-year-olds to get married and have kids will win the election, and will deserve to win.”
“Remember that. It’s truer than any economic theory conceived on any college campus in the last 100 years,” he said. “Improve people’s lives, and they will vote for you. Period. Republicans ought to write that on their hands. Otherwise, the temptation will be to focus entirely on the lunacy now on display on the left right now. Democrats have gone crazy. It’s definitely worth pointing that out repeatedly. We do five nights a week. But it’s not enough to win. Winning candidates come with their own program. They convince voters they will make things better.”
Carlson notes that if Sanders becomes the nominee, republicans will then start to remind people that “socialism does not work,” but Sanders could win with a promise to “forgive student loans” because “debt is crushing an entire generation of Americans.”
“Republicans need to make a plan to make it better, or they will be left behind,” said Carlson, who added that Republicans shouldn’t “ignore the social issues” important to ordinary Americans. (RELATED: Tucker Exposes ‘Ruling Class’ Behind Border Policy Uproar: ‘Their Goal Is To Change Your Country Forever’)
“But ordinary people know the social fabric is coming apart,” Carlson said. “A winning candidate will say that out loud. Defend traditional values. Don’t be embarrassed about it. There’s nothing embarrassing about it.”
“Democrats aren’t promising change,” he concluded. “They’re promising revolution: Centuries of American history and custom, abolished. A nation starting over from scratch. Year zero. That’s what they’re calling for, and most people aren’t for that. They may be frustrated with the state of the country, may are. They may be anxious about the future, but they don’t hate America. They don’t want to topple George Washington and implement Maoism.”
He continued, “They’re conservative in the most basic sense: they love their families above all. They distrust radical theories of anything, because they know, and they’re right, that when the world turns upside down, ordinary people get hurt. They don’t want to burn it down. They just want things to get better. The candidate who promises to make them better — incrementally, but tangibly — will be inaugurated president a year from today.”

“Here we go again – an irrelevant late night talk show host mocking the First Lady, when her main focus is serving the American people,” Grisham told the Daily Caller in response to the CBS’s “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” host suggesting that Melania Trump was not a free woman in his opening monologue on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

“His comments were disgraceful, and certainly not original, but that doesn’t seem to matter when you’re hurting for ratings,” she added. (RELATED: Melania Shares Jaw-Dropping Throwback Shot While Celebrating Inauguration Day Anniversary: ‘It Is A Great Honor’)
It comes after Colbert talked about President Donald Trump and the first lady’s tweets on MLK day.
“Melania’s tweet was short and sweet. ‘Together we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #MLKDay,'” Colbert shared.
He followed that up in his bit by stating that Melania “really relates to Dr. King’s message, especially the part about wanting to be free at last. It’s what I heard.”
WATCH:
“The oddest thing about that tweet was the graphic she used, which just said ‘MLK Day,'” he added. “Timely … and factual. And I’m being told we have a preview of the first lady’s tweet for tomorrow: Together we honor—Tuesday, January 21.’ Again, so truthful.”

thedailycaller--2020-01-21--Pat Cipollone Claims Schiff Is Still Holding Back Evidence From Trump Defense Team In SCIF

White House counsel Pat Cipollone claimed Tuesday that House Democrats were still holding evidence in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility ( SCIF ) that President Donald Trump ’ s defense team had not been allowed to see .
Cipollone made the comments as both sides gave statements officially opening the Senate ’ s impeachment trial .
Cipollone took the floor following fellow White House Counsel Jay Sekulow , and immediately turned his attention to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff .
“ It ’ s very difficult to sit there and listen to Mr. Schiff tell the tale that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Let ’ s remember how we all got here .
They made false allegations about a telephone call .
The president of the United States declassified that telephone call and released it to the public .
How ’ s that for transparency ?
” Cipollone then walked through the timeline , the accusations about a second call and the subsequent declassification and release of that call as well .
“ Again , complete transparency in a way that frankly I ’ m unfamiliar with any precedent of any President of the United @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a foreign leader , ” he said .
Referencing Schiff ’ s “ parody ” of the Ukraine call , Cipollone continued , “ He manufactured a false version of that call .
He read it to the American people , and he didn ’ t tell them it was a complete fake.
” Cipollone turned on Schiff again , accusing him of violating Due Process .

“ The president has been given a minimal Due Process , nothing here .

Information was selectively leaked out .

I wonder why.
” “ We hear all this talk about an overwhelming case , an overwhelming case that they ’ re not even prepared today to stand up and make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concluded .
“ That ’ s because they have no case .
Frankly , they have no charge.

They also argued that Trump ’ s intent to challenge subpoenas in court was not obstruction , but rather the president simply exercising his rights .

Republican Reps. Mark Meadows and Lee Zeldin weighed in on the Senate ’ s impeachment trial Tuesday , telling the Daily Caller that the Democrat ’ s case is weak and that the process has been unfair to the president .
Tuesday marked the first day of President Donald Trump ’ s Senate impeachment trial .

Both men have been named to Trump ’ s impeachment team .
“ It ’ s not clear , it ’ s certainly not proper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s un-American , ” Meadows said .
