  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.
