Michelle Obama - 2028.

I like this platform. Who'd be the VP? Ossoff? Kamala? I'd loved to run an all-women ticket. Us males have fucked things up long enough.

She is very popular but if she were a candidate she would have to take positions on key or controversial issues and that could hurt her popularity but she would have a good chance if she wanted to.

So - unless we're going to charge her with being disingenuous or coy ... Probably ought to put to bed.

I think she would be an excellent executive - would easily secure my vote - and at same time, would perhaps have trouble in securing enough votes ...
Which she herself has said .. (again rather emphatically) "You ain't ready .. " (or something close to that)

But more importantly - I happen think she is being completely genuine in saying - 'I do not want ... '

Honestly, what does it take to accept NO? She was put thru hell and still served us all. She say her life's partner put thru hell while serving us all. Just accept that she has said NO over and over.
