Michelle Obama

Former first lady and present de facto leader of the philosophical “Black Girl Power” movement, Michelle Obama, is one person whose name has definitely come up in some lists drawn up by campaign strategists.

Mrs. Obama makes her way to the top of this list because she is most loved within the party and outside. Her personal accomplishments as a seasoned legal scholar are also pretty solid for anyone who thinks she would just be an ornamental choice.

As far as we can tell, she does not have many dark spots but then again, opposition research in campaigns can surprise many. Nonetheless, if she agrees to a ticket, Mrs. Obama is bringing a lot to face Mike Pence.
