22. But no one who is as clearly repulsed by the idea of running as Michelle should ever be nagged to do so.

I know that's not what you said, but I can almost hear the chorus of "Run, Michelle, run!" warming up for 2028 (just like it did in 2020 and 2024), and I'm dreading it, because I know she really, REALLY does not want that.

She'll never do it. She knows what she wants and what she does not want, and she has too much strength of character to be pushed into doing anything against her will. I just wish more people would recognize and accept that there is never going to be a President Michelle Obama.
