And what are her qualifications other than being the wife of the last decent president?

the internet says she's the most likely person who can beat Trump

this is one of them https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/only-michelle-obama-bests-trump-alternative-biden-2024

what qualifications does Trump have (before he became president)?

at least Michelle has/is a Juris Doctorate

How, in fact, does it show? Other than she doesn't want to do it.

I feel that you missed the fact that the Trump question is in bold.

Thanks. You are right. For some reason the bold didn't display on my screen. Now it does. I wondered about that because it didn't really seem to make sense. My apologies.

I just can't imagine America electing a black woman as President.

Would the swing states of Arizona, Nevada and Wisconsin go for her? They sound pretty white and male to me.

right now voting for Biden is basically voting for Harris as people's perception is he's not going to see out 4 years

This is not looking good.

Donald Trump Now Favored in Five Swing States: New Forecast - Newsweek

According to the article Trump only needs to turn 2 swing states, Pennsylvania and Georgia, to win and he's miles ahead of Biden in both.

so what?

he became president. you don't need qualifications. you questioned Michelle's qualifications. you forgot.

He was a terrible President is the "so what". Although whether that had anything to do with his lack of qualifications is a different matter.

I guess my real question about Michelle Obama is what has she done that makes people think she would make a good president other than being popular? I think leaders should be popular because they are great leaders, they shouldn't be made leaders just because they are popular.

It's a moot point since she would appear to not be interested any way.

Clean slate in politics and raised a better behaved family than Bush, Trump, Biden and the Kennedy's? ; ).

Because God loves a self serving dictator ?

Christian Nationalists Played A Key Role In Drafting The GOP Platform
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gop-platform-christian-nationalism_n_668ee032e4b0fb744166d0e3

Trump allies prepare to infuse ‘Christian nationalism’ in second administration
Spearheading the effort is Russell Vought, president of The Center for Renewing America, part of a conservative consortium preparing for Trump’s return to power.
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/20/donald-trump-allies-christian-nationalism-00142086?is_magic_link=true&template_id=OTJIR2CRKUD6&template_variant_id=OTVPXN5JGTYRX

Vought, who declined to comment, is advising Project 2025, a governing agenda that would usher in one of the most conservative executive branches in modern American history. The effort is made up of a constellation of conservative groups run by Trump allies who’ve constructed a detailed plan to dismantle or overhaul key agencies in a second term. Among other principles, the project’s “Mandate for Leadership” states that “freedom is defined by God, not man.”

American Presidents don't usually do random interviews. Biden in 15 minute interview on MSNBC and says he'll do it again.

Says he's the nominee and he's not interested in what the party elite thinks. Invites them to put up a candidate at the convention if they think they can win.
