Former congressman Jason Chaffetz is convinced that Joe Biden will pick Michelle Obama as his VP.
He’s so convinced, as a matter of fact, that he’s actually worried about it.

Ths discussion came about during a segment on Sean Hannity. Other guests think his choice will be someone like Kamala Harris or Liz Warren … Liz Warren is white, she will not be chosen, Biden has to pick a black woman.
Chaffetz came in and he said that he’convinced that Biden will be picking Michelle. “I think you’re all wrong. The real answer, I’ll tell you the real answer. I’m going to tell you the real answer, and I gotta tell you, I worry because I do think it will be Michelle Obama. That’s my guess. That’s my guess,” he said.
Despite former first lady Michelle Obama’s repeat denials that she’ll one day run for office, former congressman turned Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz remains confident that she will be presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden’s VP pick.
He posited the theory while filling in for Fox News host Sean Hannity this Friday evening on Fox News’ “Hannity.”
During the broadcast, he asked his guests to speculate on who Biden will pick as VP. They guessed people such as Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris.
But when Chaffetz’s turn arrived, he had another idea.
Anything’s certainly possible …
Keep in mind though that many people had similarly thought that Obama would suddenly swoop in out of nowhere during the heated primary elections and declare her candidacy for president. But that never happened.
Granted, they had fairly decent reasons for speculating on her entrance. As noted by Fox News host Tucker Carlson last November, Obama would have united the otherwise fractured Democrat Party like no other person can.
“The Democratic Party is ripping itself apart over race and gender and class. Michelle Obama, let’s be honest, is one of the only people who could unite the party’s warring factions,” he said.
Plus, he added, the former first lady’s latest book had just been released.
“Maybe it’s also a coincidence that Michelle Obama just released another book last week, one that of course will require her to get on the road and talk to crowds. Maybe she really isn’t interested in joining the race, but that would make her unusual among Democrats in this country,” he said.
I disagree with Chaffetz. I don’t think Michelle Obama will be a VP nominee.
Michelle Obama has way too much to lose to hitch her wagon to a dementia-riddled old fool.

She and Obama have a sweet deal right now with Netflix, speeches and book deals. And Obama is too big to fall, he may be worried about what could drop with Durham investigation, but he knows there’s a strong defensive line of people who will go down for #SpyGate way before he does.
I doubt he and his wife want their entire family dragged through the mud, and not to mention that Michelle has no experience at running the country, and we all know Joe’s VP will be the “lead” on the ticket.
