As much as I share the same concern with Michelle, I would selfishly respond to her that if she just fucking ran for president she would win in a landslide and put an end to fucking Trump. Barack can spend the entire 4 years ridiculing the orange bezoar as first man.
Apologies for my ignorance, but just why hasn't she run for office?

Thanks! I appreciate the information, and I apologize. I guess I could've looked it up.
I can't blame her, but damn. Is it too cliche to say that's why she'd be a great candidate?
No she would not win. I guess you just don't realize how many Democrats are just as racist as Republicans. There is still to much racism amd sexism in our country.
And if you point to Obama I point to how many Democrats I know said Obama wasn't to bad because he was at least half white and raised by whites.
Sick as that is its the truth and something we are long way from changing.
Plus she isn't as popular as you think neither is Obama. I loath his neoliberal ass and is partly to blame for where we are now. Because he bailed out the banks instead of the people and turned a lot of blue couler workers into maga fanatics that Trump used to turn our country into a hell hole.
Michelle would not win in a landslide.
Every election that is just an extension of the Clinton lineage is a bad play for democrats.
