I've heard chatter of Michelle Obama running, which I think would certainly make for a close race.

Oh that's a terrible idea, especially with the rest of the world looking on. It's basically a trope about degenerated democracies. Some popular leader is constitutionally ineligible to continue holding office, so they nominate their spouse who gets the name recognition and then they continue to rule, in contravention of the spirit if not the letter of the constitution, through their spouse, who is nothing but a rubber stamp. Hillary Clinton wasn't quite so bad in this regard, as she served a couple terms in Congress in between and had her own political career, of sorts. But Michelle Obama has no individual political career or experience to speak of. One could be forgiven for wondering if she's just a Lurleen Wallace, at that point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lurleen_Wallace

it will take someone like this. Media has become politics, so we might as well get Matthew Mcconaughey in as dream ticket with Michelle Obama, maybe Jake Paul as dark horse 3rd party candidate
