Now that Joe Biden is past the point of no return on the polls, most of the speculation on Michelle Obama replacing him on the ticket is palaver.
It tends to be done by people who are open fawners to, or absolute haters of, the woman, and thus, bad prognosticators, or else by people who don't know much about Democrat power politics which is not given up lightly.
But then there is Chicago essayist John Kass, who knows what he is talking about.
He's got a deliciously good column on Michelle Obama and all her many 'terrors' -- of a Trump presidency and more, as well as some hard talk about what her prospects are for the presidency given that many Democrats want her.
He writes:
First, please understand that Michelle is terribly afraid that former President Donald Trump will recapture the White House. Her husband’s “Big Guy,” also known as China Joe Biden is haplessly watching his job approval ratings plummet especially in the swing states that will take other Democrat politicians down with him.
So they’re afraid, the media is afraid, and Michelle is pushing the panic button.
“I am terrified about what could possibly happen,” Ms. Obama said of this year’s presidential election on a podcast. And China Joe’s failing popularity numbers on key policy issues from the wide-open border to inflation to street crime are causing Democrat politicians to fret and as their leftist corprate media mouthpieces soil themselves.
The real terror, though, is of a presidential candidate Michelle Obama, he notes, citing a conversation with Tom Bevan of RealClearPolitics:

She will get the black vote and all women vote. She will clean Trumps clock.
Pretty good article.
Something tells me that Pres Trump is going for the jugular, regardless who he is running against.
So, while she might end up with the nomination, there’s a ton of dirt on her. Will it matter to the hard core Leftists? Absolutely not. But, it isn’t going to be a walk in the park for her.
then we are truly lost.
Best comeback is in the responses to Kass’ outstanding column, where he referred to Slow Joe as “President Magoo”.
I may have to stop using “Slow Joe” as Biden’s send up of Jim Backus’ legendary cartoon character is even more adept than my pet name for the uh, uh, uh, what, the, uh, you know...the THING!
The only real difference? Mister Magoo was way funnier.
On the brighter side, it would be good to see someone in the Oval Office with testicles...
There never has been, and never will be, a “perfect candidate”. And I haven’t missed an election since 1968; as long as I’m alive, I’ll vote.
I knew someone would have the balls to reply.
Michelle Obama is just as incompetent as Barack is two disbarred lawyers can mess up anything fast.
She better brush up on her bowing style and order lots of chap sticks.
