    Michelle Obama.

    Kinda joking. Kinda not. Seems to be universally beloved, and has direct knowledge of the office and job.

      Seems to be universally beloved,

      Not outside of deeply Democratic circles. And as much as I wish we could rely solely on right-thinking Democrats, we need a majority of voters.

      Agreed. Same for AOC for me. But this country is on the verge of electing Trump again. A woman of color had zero chance, unfortunately. :(

      At least not without a longer public term of popularity.

        But Michelle Obama has basically no relevant qualifications.

        What qualifications should be relevant? And why does close confidant and advisor to a president for 8 years not count in your mind?
