What if Michelle Obama announced tomorrow that she's entering the race?

Who here would throw their support behind her without hesitation?

She would beat Trump, right? You're confident Michelle would win the coveted swing states?

I'm not expecting her to jump into the fray, but I still hear speculation every now and again and I can't help but wonder, what if?

Michelle was committed to her "They go low, we go high" philosophy.

Seeing as Kamala Harris is getting a boost from her aggression against Biden in the last debate, I wonder if Michelle would mix it up at all? Perhaps not unprovoked, but if attacked by an opponent, would she return fire? If not, would it harm her chances because a lot of Dems are looking for someone who can beat Donny at his own game in the muck.
