@KDansky That they put her on national TV is an implicit statement that her views carry more weight than the average citizen. Yes, I'm saying that asking a politician's spouse about their views on proposed laws is absurd absent expertise, despite the fact that, recently, it's often done. — PolitiTweet.org

@KDansky Yes, and Michelle Obama's. I think the case of both Nancy Reagan and Jill Biden, there's a sense they do wield actual power given their husband's age and infirmities. But that was the point of the question: it's problematic if an elected president needs their spouse to function. — PolitiTweet.org
