Michelle Obama says she doesn’t want the job and never wanted the job but she notes that she’s worried about Trump and doesn’t actually say that she’d refuse the nomination.
She has plenty of name recognition while being untainted by controversy.
Yes. She’s a black woman and that will turn off some (many) people. I’d posit that those people are all going to vote for Trump anyway.
She also has an impressive resume that shows high levels of competence. She’s young and fit (she can definitely do more pushups than Trump).
She does all that while raising two kids who are both successful while still maintaining a loving and healthy parent-child relationship.
The more I think about it, the more I hope someone can talk her into it.
Let’s go, MO!
Stop it, it isn’t helpful.
She has a law degree, but is otherwise unqualified. The only national political experience she has is as First Lady, which is an unelected position. She was involved in city government in Chicago briefly in the 90s, then worked for the University of Chicago as an associate dean. So while she has some experience running organizations, she has nowhere near the qualifications to be President. Hillary Clinton’s resume was deeper when she ran for US Senate in 2000, and was a Senator and Secretary of State before mounting her own campaign.
And Michelle Obama knows it. All she has is a recognizable name. She wants no part of it, and all you are doing is giving low-information voters an excuse to tune out of the election.
She’s more qualified than Trump, and more likely to beat him, but nominating her would send the message that party leadership is willing to listen to party membership and admit when they’re wrong.
It would also send the message to our allies that the USA no longer takes elections seriously, and it’s all just a popularity contest. TayTay/Beyoncé 2028!
