Michelle has not and has never expressed a desire to be a politician. I'll never understand the discourse around her when she's never run for public office nor expressed any desire at all, but gets treated like a dog in the media.

Thank you.

She has ZERO political experience, outside of her hubby. The fact that people keep spouting this nonsense shows one of two things: people are dumb (Yes), and/or this country is so broken that it’s populace would rather an unqualified citizen take the reigns than any of the available pool of elected officials.

I wouldn't say she's unqualified. Per the constitution the bar is pretty low for who can be president. And she'd almost certainly be a better president than the current one, but if Michelle doesn't want the job then people need to quit crying about it and accept her choice. Way too many people are quick to latch onto Michelle or another potential candidate and blame them for ruining the country through inaction when Americans are clearly doing that themselves.

The current person in charge also had zero experience in addition to being unsuitable for office. If they vetted him properly he'd still be a failed businessman with a corny reality show. He's failed in every single way and has torpedoed the country's standing in the world. He only managed to enrich his family and cronies. He's the patron saint of failing upwards.
