  3. This is pathetic. This is only one notch above the Qanoners expecting RFKjnr or Princess Diana to be Trump’s VP.

  4. she’s not interested ever being in politics again.. she famously hated being in the White House

    Edit: I don’t understand why this post is getting so much attention.. frankly, it’s suspicious because dear god I hope Americans are not sooooo fucking stupid to be wet/rock-hard for a spouse of a former president who wanted nothing to do with politics…. vs. the actual politicians we have

  5. She has said, repeatedly and emphatically, that she has no intention of running. Ever.

  6. The poll of whether or not Michelle Obama would run for president came back 100% “no”.

    Only Michelle Obama was polled.

  7. yeah, if she actually wanted to run. which she does not. so i don’t know why pollsters, etc., keep asking about this.

  8. This sub went from doubting all polls (good or bad) to huffing each poll post debate like it’s a drug

  9. Despite this distraction, make sure to vote this November, because nobody is coming to save us

  11. Not surprising considering she was the most popular part of the most popular government this century.

    It would be a double surprise if Biden dropped and she was convinced to run though.

  12. What with the number of times the name “Obama” comes out of tRump’s mouth, there’s a better than even chance he has Barack **and** Michelle arrested and tried publicly by a military tribunal if he’s elected again.

  13. She’s not doing it. I don’t blame her. It’s not gonna happen folks.

  14. You know who else would win? Abraham Lincoln, both he and Michelle have the same chance of running.

  15. It’s worth looking at the full poll results:

    |Candidate|For Candidate|For the 34 count felon so far, twice impeached rapist,insur… WTF???|Spread|
    |:-|:-|:-|:-|
    |Michelle Obama|50%|39%|Trump -11|
    |Biden|40%|40%|Tie|
    |Harris|42%|43%|Trump +1|
    |Newsom|39%|43%|Trump +4|
    |Beshear|36%|40%|Trump +4|
    |Whitmer|36%|41%|Trump +5|
    |Pritzker|34%|40%|Trump +6|

    There are so many things interesting about this. For example, the lower numbers for the other candidates may seem like a result of people sort of “double voting” about not wanting Biden to drop out, which kind of makes sense, but then Michelle Obama has such high numbers.

    It’s also interesting that Biden not only still ties Trump, but out performs everyone else but Michelle Obama and in second place is Harris. One could try the “not enough national exposure” especially for Beshear and Pritzker, but that’s a pretty hard take to accept when “Not Trump” would probably score the highest.

    I’m hoping Biden:

    1. Shakes up his campaign staff. Whoever was at Camp David before the debate as a lot to answer for and heads should roll.
    2. Very extensive internal polling should occur and be analyzed by consultants outside of the campaign. If Biden can’t win this, a strategy to find the best candidate should be taken.
    3. Much better debate prepping as well as interview prepping needs to occur. There were so many strategic errors in his answers as well as appearing to be out of it. He needs to be out there and engaged, but more importantly, he needs to appear well engaged.
    4. If the conclusion is that Biden isn’t able to win and the polling results are accurate with no other viable candidates, I hope Michelle Obama can be persuaded to sacrifice what she wants for the sake of the country, democracy, humanity, and the planet.

  16. In addition to her not wanting to run, it is relatively easy to get high polling numbers when not currently or ever running. As soon as Republicans start making up lies and conspiracy theories, they’ll settle on a few that they can get to stick.

    Such fantasies are a waste of time, when Democrats and anyone wanting to see US democracy, even such as it is, survive needs to focus and concentrate on what is real and possible.

  17. Polls suggested Trump would lose and we were all caught flat-footed; don’t believe any of them. The reason Trump did as well as he did was because only 65% of eligible voters even showed up. I wonder how many (D) voters would have voted if they had thought he had such good chances? The message is ignore polls and make sure people can get to the polls on election day.

  18. Polls aren’t voters. I don’t believe for a second she’d get enough electoral college relevant votes. A black woman president? No way. I love her and would vote for her in a second, but no way.

  21. That’s insane. I wouldn’t even consider her when listing potential Biden replacements. If someone suggested her, it would make me literally laugh. Not that I have anything against her and actually really like her, but nothing about her says POTUS.

    If we’re talking about non-politicians, Jon Stewart wins hands down.

  22. Every time this is brought up, it’s obvious that no one read her memoir. She didn’t even want Barack to run for President.

  23. She’s not gonna run, so can we just stop with this nonsense and get to solving our problems and focus on what we need to do to win.

  24. No. Stop this. It is pipe dream wrapped in a fantasy. She would never do it. She hates politics.
