February 19Feb 19 Nonsensical comparison. As if any of the respondents know of or have heard of the certifiably mentally ill Mary Todd.Nancy Reagan was a veritable airhead with her use of clairvoyants and astrologers, and she interfered in the White House. That's the woman who teamed up with Michael Jackson for her say no to drugs campaign. Sure thing.Jackie O. was a media creation. No better than Melania.I am not a fan of Melania, but she keeps a low profile, and does not meddle in affairs of state. She doesn't bother anyone.
February 19Feb 19 Absurd. By far, I prefer watching her bounce around in her heels, rather any of the previous 1st ladies. Sorry.

February 20Feb 20 Popular Post To me, she's about as appealing as roadkill. An empty pantsuit. I find it surprising supposed heterosexual men find her attractive. She looks cold and totally lacking in character. Got some ladyboy vibe working, too. She looks kind of manly to me, and since my Y chromosome drives me solely toward XXs, she does nothing for me. I'd join a Benedictine monastery, if she was the epitome of female-ness.At the same time, I understand why Hillary beat her to the bottom, although Hillary is clearly infinitely more intelligent. Having had the pleasure/displeasure of meeting both Clintons, I found Hillary instantly unlikeable and Bill the kind of buddy you'd go out together for a few cold ones. He's also astonishingly intelligent, unlike our current willfully ignorant dunce.
February 20Feb 20 Wingate - good comments but 'roadkill' is a bit hard ! 'Singularly unattractive and exploitative' does it for me. 'Horrible' maybe.Wow you have met them - not on 'Little St James' I'm sure ! (sorry).I think Hilary's ok but can see how, one to one, she might grate. Your comment about Bill is interesting - yes a very talented Guy. But maybe Bill was too clever by half with the Ladies . . .When they are investigated in the hearing, I'll be watching with interest.

February 20Feb 20 She is an absolute do-nothing first lady, she does nothing for the American people, she does not set an example on any level, her level of self-absorption is second only to her husband, and I would have to agree that she might be the second worst, just as I agree that Trump is the second worst president after Buchanan. They are a truly dreadful couple and America would be so much better off without them. They suck a lot of oxygen and give nothing back in return. I think some people would refer to them as vampires.

February 20Feb 20 Don and Melania both seem to have similarly unpopular ratings according to recent polls. Both are a travesty and hugely incompetent. Several presidents and first ladies had similar ratings, including Jackie O and John F Kennedy (+56 v +61), Nancy and Ronald Reagan (+25 v +22), Michelle and Barack Obama (+21 v +15), and Melania and Donald Trump (-16 v -20).The poll found that 48pc of respondents believe Mr Trump is “poor” and 6pc say he is “below average”. Mr Trump received the lowest rating of any of the 20 presidents YouGov asked respondents about. Approximately 19pc ranked him as “oustanding”.https://share.google/yhXuZSCmFzvtWIqO6

Talk about a transactional relationship. It is somehow fitting for the most transactional president in history. I can only imagine as a woman what it must be like to see that ugly man naked, much less smell his horrific body odors. Sulfur?
February 20Feb 20 To misquote Mrs Merton, "So Melania, what first attracted you to the multi-millionaire Donald Trump?"
February 20Feb 20 She may have been a third rate first lady, but she made a first rate second best in the unpopularity poll.
