Please correct me if I am wrong but in that scenario surely Michelle Obama would have to be a serving elected official (Congresswoman/Senator) to be considered as a running mate for Vice-President therefore she is definitely out of the picture.
You don't necessarily have to have political experience to be picked for VP. Historically, VP's are usually introduced to give a multi-dimensional ticket and make up for where the main candidate is lacking, not always the case though. Biden's approach is ensuring that he's picking a woman. John McCain took a similar approach and picked Sarah Palin. Picking someone with political experience is definitely the norm and I
guess being a former First Lady is some sort of political role.
I feel like Kamala would be more likely to be tapped as attorney general with her background.
Still leaning towards Amy as VP pick. She's least controversial and would probably give him a decent boost in Michigan and Wisconsin in the general election.
I feel like there's only a very small chance Michelle Obama will end up on the ticket, but who knows. It would be interesting if she does though. I could see Trump playing the 'you want another 8 years of Obama?' card...and the reaction being 'uhhh, yeah. please.'
Maybe Biden would put her as AG, but her record as AG is atrocious, locking up people for crimes with marijuana, refusing to push death penalty charges against cop killers, and refusing to investigate police misconduct. Tulsi Gabbard slaughtered Kamala Harris's record of being California's AG on a debate stage so there is no secret about it. Good piece about it here -
https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/1/23/18184192/kamala-harris-president-campaign-criminal-justice-recordI don't necessarily disagree with some of her positions as AG, but I don't think it will sit too well with the progressives. Amy Klobuchar is by far the safest pick possible for Biden -- agree with you there. Kamala is about as equally safe, but with Kamala he gets the "women of color" intersectional advantage.
Also nearly forgot, in 2016, Hillary only won Minnesota by 1.5 points. So having Klobuchar as Biden's VP pick would ensure a Minnesota victory. So that's something to consider too.
I'm totally going to have to disagree with this. Who in gods fucking name is asking for Michelle Obama to be on the ticket, I think we're pretty sure that not even Michelle Obama wants that to be the case.
Obama is incredibly popular within the democratic party yes, but Michelle Obama is just his wife. That's all. That's like saying just because Bill Clinton was a very popular President then Hillary Clinton has a LOCK on the presidency. We know she didn't, as she lost the Democratic primary in 2008 (to Obama) and lost the Presidential Election to Trump in 2016.
Kamala supported some HEAVY conservative policies (at least at the time) when she was the AG for California, which is actually one of the big reasons that African American people hate her.
To your point, I don't know why you would want Michelle Obama as a VP pick, maybe because it makes people feel good and reminds them of the Obama administration, who knows, but she still is very popular among the moderates.
Hillary Clinton had a miserable record as First Lady, failing at trying to push her healthcare plan through, yet she cruised her way through easily through the 08 primaries getting beat out by Obama only during the home stretch. She was winning states overwhelmingly, all for what? Just being the wife of a former President apparently. Same applies with the 2016 nomination. So clearly there is value in being a former First Lady and you're able to garner support. Hillary is a poor example because she didn't make it to the general in 2008, or win it in 2016, but again, former First Lady's have base support in place.
