No doubt that Michelle doesn’t particularly want to run. She’s lazy. And now she’s also rich. As the old saying goes, she’s happier than a pig rolling around in the mud.
However, I can see this conversation happening:
DNC: “Only you can defeat that evil racist Trump. The polls show it. Only you can preserve Barack’s legacy.”
Michelle: “That sounds like a lot of work.”
DNC: “No worries! You’ll be just like the Queen of England. Sign a few papers and wave to the adoring crowds. Your handlers - oops, I mean advisors - will take care of the rest.”
Yes, I can certainly see that happening. In fact, given say 3 to 1 odds I’d bet on it.
I don’t see it. Politics - Barry’s problem.
I think Michelle is a thoroughly despicable person but I believe her when she says she wants nothing to do with politics at this point in her life.
She has also warned her daughters against getting involved in politics.
Part of what she probably hates is the idiotic aides telling her what she is supposed to do.
She does not have to deal with that now.
There really is no upside for her.
Michelle has never run anything. She is used to being American royalty. Her work experience is being paid 3-4 times what she was worth by the Illinois Hospital system for a no-show job.
If she becomes a candidate, it could get really ugly, really fast!
