YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"A new poll has found first lady Michelle Obama would beat Republican Mark Kirk by 11 points in a face-off for his Illinois Senate seat if she were to run.

The first lady has said more than once that she is not interested in running for office, but her answer has varied from "absolutely not" to "probably not" within the same response. Still, her charm and popularity has fans speculating."*

Polls show First Lady Michelle Obama could win an Illinois Senate seat if she ran, according to a new poll. She says she isnn't interested, but would she be good politician? It's been said that she privately pushes President Barack Obama to stick to the progressive campaign promises he made, so is that a good indicator that she would serve constituents well? Or are big family names in politics an institution that needs to die out? Cenk Uygur, Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) and John Iadarola (Host, TYT University) break it down.
