Michelle Obama says she wants nothing to do with politics now, but oddsmakers still say she’s got the best chance of any Democrat of winning the White House in four years.

Bovada, an online gambling site, says the odds of Mrs. Obama winning are 12-to-1. The next-best Democrats, Sen. Tim Kaine and Elizabeth Warren, get odds of 14-to-1.

By contrast three Republicans have higher odds: President-elect Donald Trump is a 2-to-1 bet to repeat, while Vice President-elect Mike Pence and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan are each given 10-to-1 odds.

She has consistently said she doesn’t want public office, plus I don’t think she’d be electable when push came to shove.

I guess we’ll see what happens...

Lesson of the 2016 election. Never again believe:

1. The news media
2. Pollsters
3. Oddsmakers
4. Pundits

Hmmm... What qualifications does she have for the job?

Much, much less than Clinton (except for not having yet been implicated in numerous felonies).

And much, much less than the experienced executive Donald Trump.

What an insane way of choosing their candidate - can anyone imagine Jackie or Mamie running? The world has gone totally bonkers.

They’re trying to make a little back from the butt-kicking they took last week. Never take betting advice from a bookie.

Yes! With Cynthia McKinney, or Shiela Jackson Lee as VP.

Do it. Do it! Please do it!

“Michelle couldn’t even run a school lunch program.”

And by 2020, a lot of those poor kids forced to try to stomach that will be eligible to vote. I hope they remember.

Oh so they are saying there is nothing they can do between now and when Trump takes his oath of office? I thought, according to the Clinton Ilk, they were going to stop it from happening...so they are looking at 2020, your going to loose (lose) then also...

Your done RATS, face it, Clintons did your party in for the next 10+ years!!!

I don’t know if it will be Michelle O, but I just last night opined to my wife that the next Dem nominee will absolutely be black. The tepid black turnout in this election demonstrated that the only way they can replicate the Obama turnout is with a black candidate. And, they are not going to have a chance without such a huge turnout. They have no choice now.

Hey, how about the Democrats give Keith Ellison a shot?

He seems to cover the demographic the Liberal Democrats are trying to capture.

And what would Michelle bring to the table? NEVER any elective office, and no discernible enhancements on her resume anywhere.
