7 ‘Total Loser’ First Ladies

-

To quote Donald Trump, if anyone besides his wife becomes First Spouse, he or she would be a total loser. We agree. Here are some would-be commanders-in-chief whose seconds-incommand don’t match up to Melania.

1. HILLARY CLINTON: First of all, this would-be President wouldn’t even have a First Lady. But we guess it could be all right ... if someone locks up the interns.

2. LINDSEY GRAHAM: He’s unmarried, so the nation wouldn’t even have a First Lady. That’s just weird.

3. TED CRUZ: Heidi Cruz is a managing director at Goldman Sachs — a company that needed a government bailout. Well, at least the White House would be too big to fail.

4. CARLY FIORINA: Her 65-year-old husband, Frank, has been retired for 17 years. Hey, buddy, it’s the President’s job to play golf, not yours.

5. MARCO RUBIO: His wife, Jeanette Dousdebes, is nearly as stylish as Trump’s, but she’s a much worse driver, with 13 infraction­s since 1997. She also sideswiped a campaign donor’s Porsche in January. Good thing the First Lady gets a chauffeur.

6. JEB BUSH: Columba Bush is the Howard Hughes of this year’s political season, declining interviews and hiding at home. What would she promote as First Lady? Telecommut­ing? Do Not Call lists? Expanding Fresh Direct?

7. MIKE HUCKABEE: Forget First Lady, Janet Huckabee wants to be “the first tomboy,” as she dubbed herself when her husband was Arkansas governor. She also hunted bears — and we all know how well that worked for Sarah Palin.
