Is it too late for Michelle Obama in 2020?

I'm so discouraged from the news today that I'm ready to go all in for Michelle. I know it's a long shot but our party is going under right now. Bernie is an unwitting Russian asset, Warren is a great debater that has no chance at winning the EC, Joe is treading water, Pete and Amy have POC issues, and Bloomberg will spend the rest of the year apologizing. I'm ready for someone new. Michelle Obama is the only person that could actually unite the party and bring out the votes in November.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

As popular as she is, she already put in 8 extraordinary years in The White House. She's ready to move on with the rest of her life, she can have a lasting impact without entering the stressful political scene again.

And she'll try to make the party better if she were the nominee. I don't trust Bernie no further than I can throw him.

everything that you say in this post!

She came late to the party. But she has been true blue since. There is no question whatsoever where her loyalties lie.

The one question everyone wants to know about our candidates is 'can they beat trump'? Bloomberg was an unwilling stand in for trump, as far as Warren was concerned. The question was answered. Yes she can.

Giving up on Joe is what Trump wants us to do.

Think about that.

6. Democrats need to stop attacking each other over bullsh't
Sat Feb 22, 2020, 07:22 AM
Feb 2020

and focus on attacking public enemy #1. The last debate was ridiculous with the attacks on each other and it made US look like a bunch of divided idiots. The candidates need to sell US on their own merits and stop making outrageous claims for doing THIS for free and THAT for free. If we allow drumpf to have a second term, America, as we formerly knew it, is done.
Michelle Obama ain't never going to get mixed up in THIS fiasco. She is too damn smart for that.

And while she may be able to be a party-unifying personality, I don't know how much appeal she has beyond that. I'm not sure she could get as many non-Dems in November as some of our other candidates could. Risky move. Even if she were interested. Which she's not.
