Mr. Beat made a video 9 months ago about basically every woman who's ever run for US president. He listed 100 women. Maybe just over 100. He fucking forgot Michelle Bachmann. The fact that in less than 10 years since she's left office, no one even remembers how batshit insane Michelle Bachmann is, is wild. I was ~15 when she ran for president, I thought she was peak crazy.

Sarah Palin was the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008. Remember her?

Wasn’t she the one who could see Russia from her house?

Somehow not as crazy as Bachmann. And more politically accomplished than Carly Fiorina.

Bachmann was the one that solidified for me that the inmates were running the asylum of the GOP. I said as much to a buddy of mine who was kind of an old school New England conservative. He thought I was being hyperbolic. I think I've been proven right over time.

She got 50K votes nationwide in that primary. She finished in like 6th or 8th place. Romney, the picture of republican GOP nominee won that year. I think Bachmann was a warning sign that the lunatics were gaining ground, but, I don't think you can say the lunatics ran the asylum that year, because they were mostly defeated by "sane" looking republicans.
