Likewise running harris over michelle obama was a huge mistake.
They chose a cop over a definite win.

I never got the impression Michelle even wanted to run, and frankly I’m not impressed by the notion that the best candidate was a wife of a previous victor. Didn’t work out terribly well last time, and not actually particularly great credentials on their own

Terrible take, she’s not a politician and not interested.
Now Gretchen Whitmer might have been a better candidate had we been able to have a primary.

Michelle Obama would have lost for sure. Remember, she’s the one who all the kiddos were blaming for having their school lunches ruined forever. And whenever kids ask why their school lunches suck today, they still get the response, “It was Michelle Obama’s fault”.
Obama was elected sixteen years ago, so anyone who was in school at all at that time can vote now, so we have nearly 20 years of voters who will hate this person for ruining their lunches when they were children. It would never work out and would have been a really poor choice to run her, since Dems typically require the younger vote.

alsmot like its all smoke and mirrors and they didn’t actually care who won, at the time. Now I think they get it but they did drop the ball, almost did this time trying to push biden.

No they pushed Hilary because it was “her turn”. If they didn’t care then Sanders would have been the front runner easily.
Then it was Bidens turn, because he’s been a career politician his entire life and a VP. That’s how those people think about these things.
