The Clintons’ sell by date was around 2008. They are stale, and only appeal to people who will vote Democrat regardless. I don’t think they inspire the base or persuade “swing” voters. Hillary’s moment in the sun was an artifact of the hope invested in her by those who desperately wanted her to be the First Woman President. And the FWP had to be a Liberal. But that’s all it was an artifact of hope, not any genuine appeal. The Clintons’ true political strengths are utter cynicism and raw ruthlessness. Ruthlessness and cynicism will only take you so far.
Obama was a boutique candidate. His novelty has worn off, his very thin patina of charm has faded. Michele has none of his political talent and all of his flaws, including an utter lack of self awareness.

I love Michelle’s gripe about Melania not asking her for advice about being First Lady. A statement that was all about ME ME ME, and shows no recognition of the fact that Melania speaks 5 or so languages, was very successful professionally before Trump, was used to being in high end social situations in NYC for years far beyond anything Michelle experienced before entering the White House. And Melania certainly has staff to help with White House-specific issues.
Finally, despite all the fawning press coverage, what did Michelle ever do as First Lady that was all that impressive or memorable?
The whole idea of her running for office is just laughable, and you are spot on about her utter lack of self awareness.
