I hereby propose a Presidential Spouse Debate


The First Lady (or First Gentleman) will be in the public eye even more than most Vice Presidents. Michelle Obama has been stellar as First Lady. I believe we deserve to have a debate between the spouses.

Shooting doves off power lines is illegal, and not sporting either.

Those who aren't and are drawn in through their spouses desire for power? Not so much. Yeah, she knew what she was getting with Donald when she married him, but this is just a level too far.
