I think we need someone who black women are excited to vote for. Didn’t we pretty much secured the election for Obama both times? When we show up to the polls, our candidate wins.

I wish Michelle would run. I know she hates politics. But she’s probably the only one who can defeat Trump this late in the game.

A. Black women absolutely dominate the polls when they're motivated to show up.

In recent years, you've actually had the dnc try to guilt trip black women on some "it's your job to show up and save America"

B. Michelle Obama would smoke Trump but she famously hates politics and finally has her husband back.

I do believe that before we even said somethin, white women would’ve been fighting other white women to also support Michelle. It would’ve brung people together.

White women didn't even turn out for Hillary. No way they're doing it for a black woman.

Black men showed up for Obama too. Biden was the one black women in particular really clutched for the DNC. What I'm trying to say is black women always show up regardless.
