'I'd take her in a heartbeat,'

'She's brilliant. She knows the way around. She is a really fine woman.'
Joe Biden on Michelle Obama being his VP pick.

Be still my beating heart. I know she has always said she would never run for public office... BUT can you imagine that ticket?
I feel a swoon coming on.

2. Let her live.

3. My Republican relatives

Hate her almost as much as they hate Hillary.

[Chainfire]

7. Why wouldn't they?

She is a woman, she is strong, she is smart and she is black.

11. I have to ask, seriously. Are they racist or is it just MO?

[Ohiogal]

13. Probably one fourth racism

And three fourths because she is an Obama.

[CurtEastPoint]

14. I just don't get the hatred for them.

[Ohiogal]

15. Me, either.

4. It would absolutely energize our side...(though I think we are already quite energized)

That said, it would likewise energize the racist Trump base like little else (with the possible exception of Biden choosing HRC or former Pres. Barack Obama). I agree with the constitutionalists that say the latter could not happen, but it is interesting to contemplate.

Not saying that we should choose based on the impact on the Trump base, but...


I don't think Michelle would want to do so. Might she be convinced as "duty?" Maybe.

5. not going to happen , But she will do all she can to help democrats win

6. It would be a sweep. I would yield my Biden/Harris preference if Michelle would run.

This would be the greatest team of all time! Of course her husband would be better, but he can't be a BP.

Is it really possible? How fan this be ppushed? I am willing to yell my head off.

12. Hard pass.

She is brilliant and if she changes her mind about wanting anything to do with public office, maybe someone could advocate a push.

But I want someone who wants it and who already has experience ripping Trump and the KGOP to pieces.

I’m sticking with Biden/Harris for the long haul. I think that ticket puts us in the WH for at least the next twelve years.

8. Personally, family dynasties creep me out, though I love Michelle. And I would not wish it on her.

It would just kick her ass. And Barack's. Can you imagine what it took for O. to do what he did and be the warrior he was? And to do it with such grace? It could not have been easy. He was one in a million. I know this is just fantasy football conjecture. Kind lof like wanting Cuomo for President. Yeah it would be awesome but it would be so unnatural.

9. my SIL mentioned this on a Todd Rudgren forum and the bros tore her a new one...( her words)

...she said to me.. i thought these people were my FRIENDS!...

[MrsCoffee]

10. Lol.

Waste of time daydreaming about stuff that ain’t ever gonna happen.

He already has a plethora of excellent women to choose from. Let’s stay focused.
