What If Michelle Obama Challenged Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Nomination?

Michelle Obama for president? What if she ran against the seemingly impregnable Hillary Clinton?
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 14% of Likely U.S. Voters think the first lady should run for president. Seventy-one percent (71%) disagree, but another 15% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Among black voters, however, 40% think Obama should run, and only 41% disagree. One-in-five (18%) is undecided. Seventy-eight percent (78%) of whites and 59% of other minority voters oppose a presidential bid by the first lady.
In a hypothetical matchup with Hillary Clinton, the putative Democratic presidential nominee in 2016, Obama earns 44% support from black voters to Clintons 36%.
Among Likely Democratic Voters, its Clinton 56%, Obama 22%. That appears to be a better showing against Clinton than Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, the only other announced Democratic presidential candidate, makes at this point.
Among all voters, Clinton earns 37% support to Obamas 17%. A sizable 40% prefer some other candidate.

Michelle will step forward to save her party
I could see that happening if Hillary backs out, I don’t see her challenging Hillary for the nomination. Somebody should, she’s a terrible candidate. Barky beat her.

Do we have estimates of support for the whiny vote?

I would like to hear Michelle explain on the campaign trail how she got the job at the hospital in Chicago, what her job responsibilities were, and why she lost her law license.

I believe neither of them would then be able to get a life insurance policy.

Maybe he would. He probably would like 4-8 years on the golf course.

If I looked like Web Hubble, and I was a desperate starving illegal in search of a green card, and blind, and drunk, and had not gotten any in a very long time, and there was no other available women within oh say 1000 miles, then maybe.

It's going to take some time for 0's media hound dogs to completely destroy the Clinton Machine. When it is complete then the crisis will be implemented. Enter 0's third term with Michelle...

...at the last minute, when Clinton...leaves the race, Michelle will step forward to save her party. That seems very likely. There will be no challenge. O will avoid it by inducing her to leave the race with the assurance he will nominate her for a seat on the USSC.
