I do not think DNC did any poor job. There are at least 10 or more qualified person I can think of. It is just that some people cannot see past [b]Biden[/b]/Sanders. I believe Duckworth, Gillibrand, Ted Lieu, Warren, Booker, Kamala Harris, O'Malley, Cuomo, Blasio, Chris Murphey, Schiff, Tim Kaine, Eric Salwell [b]Michelle Obama[/b] or Klobuchar would be a fine President.[/quote]

With a couple of exceptions, this is a pretty sorry bunch of potential candidates - most are not electable.

The only ones I like and would be willing to vote for are shown in bold. I'd also vote for Mark Warner. I am not sure any of them- with the possible exception of Biden - could defeat Trump assuming the economy is doing well.[/quote]

Michele Obama?  What are her qualifications, being a first lady she got to watch her husband try to run the country?   Why are you leaving Oprah out?   She has more popular support than all of those weak candidates combined.[/quote]

I think Michelle Obama is electable. Two factors must go into anyone we nominate: qualification and electability - and the latter is more important than the former.[/quote]

Please lay out the first one, what are Michelle Obama's qualifications?[/quote]

Fair point! But what I'd say is that most candidates who run for president are people who grow into the job - some do it sooner than others and some never succeed in doing so. Trump was not by conventional definition ready for the presidency. Neither was Obama - though I voted for him. Reagan, Clinton, Carter and GWB had executive experience as governors of states - the former two were able to grow into the job. The latter two were never really able to do so.

The presidency is a unique institution for which there is no real training ground ......... Michelle Obama is an intelligent woman who I believe can grow into the job and she is, IMO, electable.[/quote]

Please run Michelle Obama for the next 4 election cycles.   Then she can go away like Hillary. [/quote]
