Warren, who got third in her home state and is loathed by Bernie progressives, is better than Michelle Obama the most beloved female political figure in America and who would bring every black person to the polls in November? I voted for Bernie but even I admit the most important thing is for Biden to win and dethrone Trump.
The issue with Michelle is that nothing points to her ever having any interest in the role. It keeps getting brought up in here and the odds aren't very high based on any conventional wisdom.

Michelle Obama isn't qualified to be president, therefore she shouldn't be vice president. I love her but it would be stupid. Sure it would excite the base but when people thought about it more over the fall...it would look bad. Plus she doesn't want it.

Biden needs to pick someone who can help him govern...the same way he helped Obama govern. Picking a governor wouldn't be a bad idea right now, because this covid shyt isn't going away. Whitmer would be the main person that comes to mind. But again...I'm not personally sold that she's the right pick. I think the base is liking her the more they see her, as she effortlessly gets Trump upset...but I feel like the VP also has to fire up the base. Warren would do that, and she can help govern. But she's old, like Biden, and ran a terrible campaign. The bad campaign part doesn't matter as much but still...I just don't know brehs.

Michelle Obama is just fan fiction nonsense. Not going to happen. And, it's part of the problem, she has NO experience in government, beyond First Lady, it's the cult of personality thing. We don't want or need celebrities or nice people in the White House, they can be all those things, but they have to be a politician, as a profession, first and foremost.

Why not just say The Rock or Issa Rae while we are at it

generic woman from the midwest, multiple term senator who actually works in washington, who would make history for being the first woman VP. from an electoral college standpoint its hard to argue that that doesnt make the most sense

We don't need celebrities, but we also need to win first in order to govern. Our celebrity president beat the experienced candidate last time. And it's not like she would be president, only vice president, with the greatest modern day president as the Second Husband.
