Quote:That could be the case. I know most pubs despise her but she is very well loved on the left and is one of the most popular FLOTUS of all time. I don't think she is interested in it however. 

 

What I would like to see is this movement that is forming between the Bernie wing progressives to push for someone like Keith Ellison to take over. What people have been suggesting should happen with the RNC is what needs to happen with the DNC. The old guard line towers need to go and the party needs to reinvent itself if it wants to survive. 

 

  Right now,  Michelle Obama might want to take a step back.   Yet,  in a couple of years,   if there are many on the left calling for her to run and it looks like there's a very realistic opportunity for the Democrats to win the 2020 Election with a unifying on the left candidate,  I think she's going to be very tempted to run.

 

 Keith Ellison certainly appeals to a large number of far left progressives.  Whether he would get enough support from the Blue Dog / closer to the middle Democrats remains to be seen.   I have at least some doubts.
