PoliticusUSA: Michelle Obama Annihilates Trump As The GOP’s Bad Week Just Got A Whole Lot Worse [View all]
Just when Republicans thought that it couldn’t get worse, First Lady Michelle Obama spoke out against everything Donald Trump represents while addressing graduates at the CCNY commencement ceremony.
NOTE: The "good stuff" comes at 11:45 (it's all good but this is where she delivers her moral argument re who we are as a country)
The argument that Obama made against Trump was devastating because it wasn’t political. The argument that the First Lady made was a moral argument about who we are as a country. The question that First Lady Obama’s remarks asked the country is, does Donald Trump accurately represent who we are? If this election is contested on moral terms, Donald Trump has no chance of winning.
Trump and his angry Twitter account can’t match the power and popularity of President and First Lady Obama. Michelle Obama is speaking out, and the Republican Party’s bad week just got a whole lot worse.
