Why?

Because Michelle Obama is well liked among women in general. She is idolized by the left. She can actually be somewhat charming in person.

Personally, I think Carl is correct. Michelle has absolutely no interest in being POTUS. She hated the attention on her when she was the first lady. The scrutiny would be 100 times that as POTUS.

But when you have a popularity contest between Michelle and Kamala it is not even close. Michelle is the prom queen. Kamala is the ho.

I agree - main reason Michelle Obama is not going to be the nominee is the fact that she has zero interest.

At the same time, I think people are way underestimating the challenge she would face if she were to throw her hat in the ring.

First, popularity as a First Lady does not automatically translate to popularity as a Presidential candidate. You said it yourself - the scrutiny would be 100 times what she faced as First Lady. The gloves would come off, and unflattering video clips of her saying anti-American things would go viral. Her popularity with Democrats may hold up - or may not - the people making this decision would be rolling the dice.

Secondly, the mechanics of making her the nominee are not so simple. She would effectively be cutting in line, ahead of every Democrat Presidential wannabe without ever having to win a single primary or debate.

I don’t think even Democrat voters would appreciate the nominee being anointed for them like that.

So, if this was going to happen, I would think it would already have happened by now, in time for

1) the idea to be floated for public approval
2) her to participate in debates
3) her to enter primary contests.

I think at this point by far the easier and more likely path is to have Biden step down at the last minute, making Harris the incumbent POTUS and default nominee. The puppeteers is running Biden would have no problem at all with her low IQ.

I guarantee this is their October surprise.
