Yes you can, just say no, Michelle!

-

MICHELLE OBAMA’S electrifyi­ng impact on the Grammys displayed her huge popularity with a vast swathe of the American public and particular­ly the world of entertainm­ent. Predictabl­y, it also prompted pundits to renew their calls for her to run against Trump in the next presidenti­al election, a prospect which she’s repeatedly said holds absolutely no appeal. It’s strange how it never seems to occur to Michelle’s would-be political backers that much of the adulation she attracts springs from her utter disdain of politics as a waste of time. If Michelle, right, performs a U-turn and takes Hillary Clinton’s journey from First Lady to political candidate, she will lose her star appeal to become just another deeply polarising politician in a divided country.
