The Democrats are clearly losing confidence that their declared presidential candidates can beat President Trump in 2020. They tout polls showing that any of their top four candidates would win the general election were it held now, but only the most naïve take such hypothetical matchups seriously. Moreover, they can see that their leading candidate is so fuddled that he frequently forgets his talking points and even where he is on a given day, while his competitors are so far left of the mainstream that Trump would trounce them. This is why so many on the left have turned their desperate eyes to Michelle Obama.

Why would she? David Geffen's yacht holds more appeal than trying to look somber in front of a d@mn flag. In her heart she knows she's not mentally capable either, and would give SloJo a run for his money...

Not enough time. She just purchased 29 acres. Next spring she will be busy planting her new garden. I am sure she will share the wealth with her new neighbors.

I have mixed opinions about this. Yeah, (s)he says she hates living in the WhiteHouse and is to lazy and entitled to work....
But (s)he also loves the public spotlight and to be adored by a fawning press and public, and would get much more of that if (s)he were President, especially if (s)he came in to "Save the Democrat Party" from the current horde of buffoons that are currently asking for the job .....
And Besides, Valerie Jarrett would actually run the whole administration from behind the scenes, so the Mooch could be on ten million dollar a day vacations for the duration, with little actual responsibility.
So I put the likelyhood on he(r) running at 50%- 50%..... I wouldn't want to bet money on it either way

Michelle Obama is thoroughly unlikeable. She is an ABW, angry black woman. She is lazy. She is vainglorious to a fault and does not have a genuine love for this country. She is a racist and definitely would work to pit us against one another. She is an agitator. There is nothing to commend her for the job. Frankly, and we all know it, she could not stand up to the rigors of campaigning. She is a pampered, coddled woman with an entitlement mentality. She would be unprepared for the rigors of the job. If she thinks that Donald Trump would go easy on her, she is sorely mistaken. He is all about winning. He wouldn’t hold back on her husband’ failures and I don’t believe she could handle that. She may enjoy being wooed to run, but she would not enjoy the reality of the fight this President would bring. He knows just how high the stakes are for the country and there is no way he is going to back down, lighten up, or give deference to Mrs. O. DJT is in it to win it!

The left tried running a First Lady to their everlasting chagrin. Only utter desperation would drive them down that road again and certainly not with Michelle Obama as their candidate. She is angry, anti-American, disbarred with no accomplishments to her name. She craves the limelight and runs from responsibility. The “most admired woman in the world” is not giving up this current gig for anything.

Trump would trounce her - not "probably. People voted for Obama because of his skin color. And there was noting to commend Barack to be the President - other than his skin color. She has more than a "good" life.

Mrs O as President. China says to her we intend to bomb 'wherever'. Mrs O says how much $ do you need to not take that action. China says ' how much do you have '. Mrs O says you can have it all because I don't want to look bad. Do you want it in cash or gold bars. China says just give us Hawii and Alaska for $1 ea. Mrs O says, DEAL.
She is the art of the STEAL.

Too lazy. Chewbacca has never done any serious work. She had hundreds of bloated staff scurrying to satisfy her every whim. Running for President is not a vacation.

Character, gravitas, leadership, courage, sense of self sacrifice. All is either not present or at VERY poor levels. This is another poster child of affirmative action - entitled, selfish, lazy, irresponsible, resentful, obnoxious. The fact that she is as popular indicates the deep seated nature of problems with our society and culture. Will she run? My money says no. But I haven't won any lotteries lately.

Look at her history. She failed to pass the bar exam. She has never done real legal work. She got a sinecure with the Univ. of Chicago which was not filled when she left. She likes to take inordinately expensive vacations. The only thing we can deduce from the past is that she is a self-indulgent whiner. Look at her undergraduate thesis. What is it about? Her at Princeton. That's not a thesis; it's a whiny autobiography. The only fire in the belly comes when she is being criticized or not being indulged. The POTUS gig is tough; Moochelle doesn't do tough. She does whine. Now she is free to do wine. She gets attention in return for doing nothing. That's her dream job.

If Michelle couldn't hold her temper or tongue when it was all going right for her (First Lady, first black president as husband, 50 staff doing her bidding on trifles, jetting off to Europe for shopping & concerts, constant fawning from media) how is she going to respond when it all goes wrong for her or merely threatens to go wrong?
This woman is quicker to anger than even Hillary Clinton - and Hillary wakes up angry every morning. Trump (and I, to be fair) would delight in needling her. If anything, his criticism of Elijah Cummings and The Squad has demonstrated that he doesn't fear the 'racist' tag since a) he's called racist anyway and b) they'll have to confront reality at some point. Michelle would take the bait all day long. She would be helpless in discussions of the issues in-depth, not least because she hasn't been involved in them. She would be hopeless in debates, gritting her teeth and pegging the volume knob at 11.

The Mooch would have to explain how she really met Obama and answer questions why her Law License was suspended.. There are troves of unanswered questions about the Obama's that were never answered because the media feared being called a racist.

I have no concern about Mike running. It just isn't happening.
The left is surely smart enough to know that running for president is not a popularity contest. Besides as you all have stated, she isn't giving up her cushy life or lifestyle,
not for the country she wasn't proud of till after her husband was elected president.

MO has never turned down a money deal just because she had to work in order to see those dollar bills. Why would she decline to fill this position?
As she has done in other instances, she manages to muddle through using others as her proxy, only contributing the name. If she does make the decision to 'run' , do we then tie her shoe laces together in order to STOP her? OMG, to once again be forced to view the fashions seen during her former 'stage presence', women everywhere are gritting their teeth and cringing.

Here's the best reason she won't run - she's not qualified! Of course, that didn't stop her lying, race-baiting husband from running so who knows. It didn't stop the Pig in a Pantsuit from trying to ride her husband's coattails into the Oval Office either but look what happened to her.

Just for giggles. let's look at Mooch getting the candidate nod at the Convention. The Dem preliminary debates will be over. She can use the "Trump Racist" excuse to avoid ever having to debate him.
Instead, her time would be spent on the Leftist MSM's plethora of talk shows where she would be met with adulation, and not have to worry about anything like criticism.
Add to this, the Left's corrupt control of most of the Nation's major population centers, and their ability to magically make ballots for their candidates appear out of thin air,(or trunks of cars) , and Shazaam! Mooch is President.
In politics, especially a system corrupt as this one. there is no sure thing and Republicans will have to work twice as hard in 2020 as they did in 2016.

Short of Obama (who spent a good deal of time on the golf links, on vacation in super expensive places, and, perhaps, being that nameless one whom the Struecks et al. were supposed to keep in the loop) again running the show in back of Michelle and going back to the bowing to dignitaries and the "new normal", what has Michelle have to offer in the way of expertise, short again of planting a White House garden that, like th e miracle of loaves and fishes, fed a mass of diplomats.

If she wanted to have a job she could always be the next Oprah. Loads of adoration, audiences, money and not much effort. But why bother? She now owns 3 houses and people like Soros give her the use of their private jets, and she’s a multi, multi millionaire. Why would she want the aggravation of either running for or being president?

Idunbelivit. It's the prog dream. It's the woman, minority and symmetric answer. Instead of Obama-Biden, it will be Biden-Obama. Barry would push like all getout to allow her to "preserve" his "legacy." What's in it for her? Slow Joe won't finish his first term, and certainly won't run again. So, the first AA female president. QED

In response to the circumventing the Constitution referred to in the article, ostensibly giving Barak Obama a third term, I would not put this past liberals. After all, they are currently trying to circumvent the Constitution with regard to the Electoral College, so why would they not do it for a woman a recent liberal pole showed her to be the most respected woman in the world? Remember we are dealing with an ideology that wishes to destroy this country.

David the writer is saying this, not Michelle, the Queen of Crabby.
I will be expecting her to toss one of her wigs into the ring, anytime between New Year's Day and Labor Day...of 2020. YES!!
As late as Labor Day of 2020. Do not put it past the Dems to enter someone on the ticket long after the usual calendar markers have passed by. Those 'rules' are only for the little people, not
"Rock Stars" like Michelle is said to be.
The media would 'go Ape' campaigning for her. Rightly or wrongly, she would be a threat to the GOP.
