MSNBC’s Dorian Warren: Draft Michelle Obama for 2016

‘Let’s draft the First Lady right now; she is equally as talented and smart as her husband’

WAGNER: “You are a great American voter. You know about the world. You’re involved. When you hear about all this Hillary Clinton’s stuff, are you already tired of 2016.” …

What I find sort of a little bit sad right now is like, ‘Well, who else do we have?’ That did not inspire a lot of confidence as a Democrat. She got schooled by Obama in 2008. Ultimately, she couldn’t close the deal. She’s got the biggest foundation machine and she’s a Clinton, but does she excite the public? I don’t think so, personally, but that’s —”

WAGNER: “This is what I’m asking, Dorian.”

WAGNER: “Wow, Dorian Warren drafting Michelle Obama. Chris Cillizza, the over under the likelihood of the First Lady getting involved in politics after her husband’s presidency is over?”

CILLIZZA: “Getting involved in politics at some point in the future? I don’t think it’s out of the question. Running for president in 2016 somewhere — is there a number less than zero?” (Laughter)
