Was he serious? It certainly wasn't obvious that conservative commentator Ben Domenech was kidding when on today's Up With Steve Kornacki he said that "the only person I think who could beat Hillary Clinton is Michelle Obama."

Domenech's comment came during a segment on the subject of who might jump into the race should Hillary decide not to run.  The mere fact that there was such a segment suggests that the controversy over Hillary's email might not be the much ado "about nothing" that some claim. 

"Very entertaining" doesn't begin to describe what such a race would be. There might not be enough popcorn in all America!  "Ready for Michelle," anyone?

STEVE KORNACKI:  Ben, Ben, quick thought on this.

BEN DOMENECH: The Clinton machine is alive and everything else is dead. There's just one, the only party, they will win. And I just don't think that there's anybody who can challenge her even though it would be very entertaining I think if someone, inspiring -- the only person who I think could beat Hillary Clinton is Michelle Obama.  Other than that, nobody.
