      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.

        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?

      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.
