Will Michelle Obama be the Democratic nominee for President?

1000% unlikely. Brokered convention will result in them picking between Biden and Sanders, not a person who never threw their hat in the ring and does not want it.
I will take that bet at 50 to 1 odds.
Remember Michelle is following Obama's position of staying out of things on the sidelines and not getting involved. If it came down to Bernie v. Biden, and Obama was forced to speak, he would simply endorse Biden as the lesser of two evils, not support his wife throwing a wrench in the works.
If Trump goes on and on about reversing Obama policies and his base repeats the same mantra, why would the DNC put an Obama in the race to further rally the base of their opponent?
If she has any political aspirations like HRC did after the White House, her first stop should be the Senate. Lots of power without the campaigning bullshit. then she can serve as long as she likes.

Your response is logical but in desperation the Democrats may turn her if she gives a sign of willingness.
Obama’s served their time in the DC cesspool. Time to enjoy the fruits of their labor, stay in the pool too long and it sticks to ya. Smartest thing he’s done.... distance himself from politics.
If Biden falls off heavy and has no shot and Bernie is surging I can see a hail mary pass being thrown but not sure it is Michelle. She is too smart to not realize she would be crucified as 4 more years of Obama and that is what got Trump elected.
Also, politics is only rewarding AFTER you leave higher office, so why walk back into it to reduce your earnings and increase your stress.
Look at how happy and pleasant G.W. Bush and Obama are now. Why do you think they are silent since leaving office? Even when G.W. son was running. because it is a soul sucking thing to do but the after rewards are worth it and no one in their right mind is going to ruin that by jumping back in the ring. HRC did and how'd that work out for her?

For Obama it is all about Barry anyway and he is in a win/win situation and there is no real gain in getting involved. If the dems win, well he wins because all his buddies are back in power and welcome may is down for him in every square inch of DC. But if they lose, well then he is still treated as a demi-god by dems - the last clear example of someone who actually looked and acted like a dem candidate or president- rather than the old white geyser squad they have now.
The other little factor- that Obama is well aware of and dem strategists as well- is that Obama's record of endorsing and "helping" other candidates by campaigning with them is actually atrocious. Obama himself has said that in many interviews since leaving office. That although he was able to get elected and draw crowds that he was unable to actually help others. Of course, this is just Barry letting you know again that although he himself is awesome, he cannot make anyone else awesome. So his track record is not good there, and endorsing Joe would not help it at all. It would just be a chance to come back on to the scene and demonstrate that, not only does he not hold much sway, but that the progressives have issues with him that they have agreed to not rub in his face if he stays out. We have seen little anti-Obama episodes flare up that had to be tamped down, eh?
