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!

    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!
