'A Michelle Obama-Donald Trump showdown would be glorious, even though it could get ugly,' writes columnist Steve Lopez.

Yes, I said. His supporters are rabid, no matter what he says or does. We’re looking at a trillion-dollar deficit, and the GOP — the party of fiscal conservatism — just shrugs. Consumer prices are rising because of tariffs and a recession is feared, but Trump’s populist supporters don’t mind.

Yet for all that, the GOP — or roughly 90% of it, according to polls — is standing by its man. That’s partly because of who Trump is, but largely because of what he isn’t.The Dems, meanwhile, don’t have a single candidate who’s caught fire. It’s early, and maybe it’ll still happen. But if the nominee is on the left — Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, for instance — it could turn off moderate voters.

To be fair, my opinion may be worth less than a Michael Dukakis for President button, but I can think of only one person who would beat Trump, hands-down, no problem.Lawrence Tolliver cuts the hair of Arthur Gomez, 26, under a framed portrait of former First Lady Michelle Obama. There is, however, one problem Michelle Obama fans are going to have to deal with, and it’s a big one.“There’s zero chance,” she told the National, an Amtrak magazine. And in an interview with Conan O’Brien, she said being in the White House and under the spotlight for eight years was enough, and “I’m not interested in politics.”

Why not run a story on the most electable man in the world Santa Clause or better yet Dwayne the Rock Johnson. I mean I love Michelle but why is the LATimes doing stories on hypothetical candidate vs the dozens of viable candidates that are actually running?

Not really. Trump would call that trannies out of its league.

Obama gave us Trump. Not going down that path again.
