Should Michelle Obama run for president in 2020?

Michelle Obama would make an excellent presidential candidate but it will not happen in 2020. I think she will run and probably win in 2024

Yeah defo

What experience does she have in politics other than being the First Lady? Isnt this one of the reasons Donald Trump is seen as unqualified?

If the election has proved anything it's that qualifications are totally irrelevant

No, she shouldn't.
We presume that she would be a good president, because she is Barrack's wife.

Barack Obama is responsible for destruction of Libya, supporting Al-Queda (Daesh in Syrian war) and the fact that ISIS was not yet destroyed (that's Turkey's fault as well, and US should have done something with that).

He didn't do anything with a fact that Turkey puts more jurnalists to prisons than Russia, nor he didn't do anything with a fact that Saudi arabia supports terrorism.
The Ukrainian crisis is also partly a fault of the western influence.
Obama has vastly increased US debt and runned irresponsible foreign policy which has effected in destabilisation of the Middle East, and conflict between the West and Russia.

I defo think so!!! She is more than capable of it, in fact I am a bit upset that she didn't run this year-that way she did not have to leave the White House....

But LOOOOOL-guys can we please remember that Kanye West will also be running in 2020.......if she does run, you'll know who the winner will be, unless of course America is yet again delusional and chooses Kanye the same way they chose Donald Trump....

Can you name many other prominent Democrats who'd be in a position to run in about 18 months / 2 year's time?

No, she doesn't have political experience, she doesn't have business experience, what does she offer apart from being a President's wife?

She'd have a damn good support system; if she were to run (like i said before, she doesn't want to), win. and then turned out to be completely incompetent she'd have a pretty strong support system in the form of her husband. She could literally be a puppet (not that I'd like that or saying it would be necessary) and do a better job than I predict Trump will.

Just to go on to prove how corrupt the US system is?

Why would she make a better candidate than the millions of other women in the US, because she married the right guy?

Had she run, she would have won easily.

Talking about how "good" a "candidate" is just after Trump won is one of the most ridiculous things I have heard today. And there were a lot.

Trump won because people felt they needed change, so I don't see how going back to the path they wanted off will happen

Bernie Sanders will be 79 on the day of the 2021 inauguration.

Trump only stood a chance this time because both the Democrats were so old. Reagan's age was a major factor in the 1980 election and he was a year younger than Trump and became the oldest President on starting his term. The issue reappeared when there were questions about his mental capacity in his second term. Age simply couldn't be used as an issue.

It is very possible that Trump won't run for re-election particularly if its a contested primary.
