Michelle Obama is DRAGGING Trump right now! FLOTUS like a butterfly sting like a bee

[UMTerp01]

She is arguably the best surrogate that Hillary has. Female, woman of color, scandal free. I dare...DARE Donald Trump to go after her. That is a fight he doesn't want.

[Fast Walker 52]

1. Link to live speech here

[Cha]

21. That was fast! Thank you, Fast Walker!

[AllyCat]

63. Awesome! How many years until we can vote for Michelle?

[Johnny2X2X]

2. Trump has no response to Michelle

Michelle should give a stump speech everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.

This is a full court press and Donald has no idea what is coming still.

[Frank Cannon]

18. He's pretty much left her alone.

Because even he knows how popular she is and how capable she is of destroying him.

[bluestateguy]

3. Did she actually say his name by name? (Trump)

It would be nice if she would do that from time to time.

[UMTerp01]

9. She doesn't have to. That is part of her surgical takedown of him.

Everyone knows who she is talking about and that is part of the brilliance of her speeches. She doesn't give him the significance of mentioning his name. She talks about him as "that guy" or "the other candidate" or "her opponent". You know that bugs him.

[Cha]

23. I wholeheartedly agree!

[Delmette]

40. Yes, not using his name would bug him.

Because it is what he does to other people. When he says "those people", "that person", "it", he is dehumanizing the conversation.

[Oldem]

55. You're probably right; yet there may be another reason.

About a week ago, I decided I would no longer use this (alleged) man's name. That's granting him too much dignity. So he's been "the creep" in my posts.

[bettyellen]

30. Not his name or his exact words. But she was very clear and strong in her condemnation ....

Amazing speech - flawless.

[JoePhilly]

45. By not using his name, she is delegitimizing him ... he's not worthy of a name.

[BlueState]

4. She is killing it!

I love this woman! She is the perfect person to deliver the perfect message at the perfect time.

[Happyhippychick]

5. Whatever Michelle says, Trump will be hearing it tonight from Melania

[world wide wally]

28. LOL ^

[Cakes488]

29. I'm not sure Melania challenges him...that's why he married her

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

54. Pssssst.

I'm sure you're right. I think that was just a joke on Melania plagiarizing Michelle's speech.

[Cakes488]

57. LOL I guess I can't always be brilliant...plus refuting all these Trashpot lovers is taking a toll

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

58. It's a tough job, but

we all need to keep doing it! Continue being brilliant and refuting the Trumpkins.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. She is on fire. Wonderful speech.

[mcar]

7. I'm in tears

She is hitting every single point.

[pinboy3niner]

8. Absolutely compelling

Brava!

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

10. Even with the horrible satellite feed, FLOTUS is knocking it out of the park.

She is amazing.

[riversedge]

11. She is really dynamic. Proud of her. She is Mancheser, NH. Asking to volunteer, make call,

canvass. get on social media and say why this election matters. I really like this.

[global1]

13. WOW!!!!! Michelle Obama For President.....

She is killing it. This lady rocks!!!! I hope she runs for public office someday.

[calguy]

14. If Michelle ever has any political ambitions

She would win in a landslide for any office she might run for

[riversedge]

15. 'are you with me?? cheers and shouts of YES. "firey, passionate speech" per msnbc.

[nolabear]

16. She was fantastic. All of us feel heard. It's cathartic.

Michelle is unassailable. She's the personification of "going high." I'm so proud of her.

[Cha]

22. It is cathartic, nolabear.. thank you!

She looks so beautiful in her gray outfit!

[Quiet_Dem_Mom]

17. Bet Trump staffers are wrestling Donny's Android away from him

as we speak.

[Cha]

19. And, she's just grace, strength, and beauty..

I saw the last part on choppy streaming.. can't wait for youtube.

[demmiblue]

20. I feel like the weight of the last few weeks, as a woman, has been lifted.

This was a speech that transcended politics.

Thank you, Michelle!

[dgibby]

47. Transcendental!

Thanks, demmiblue, that's the word I was looking for. Perfect description.

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. Terrific subject line!

Go Michelle. She's a great choice to give this speech. The short-fingered vulgarian, try though he might, can't cast aspersions (asparagus?) at the Obamas, especially now that he's said he's accepted the birth certificate.

[Amimnoch]

25. Michele Obama for SCOTUS judge!!!

I would just die of laughter if the first act President Clinton takes is to nominate Michele Obama to fill Scalia's seat that the obstructionist Republicans have dragged their feet on throughout this year.

[Pachamama]

31. No...I would prefer to see her first be the second female President and the second President Obama

I personally would love to see President Hillary Clinton's nominee to SCOTUS be......

ANITA HILL

I would love to see the GOP in the Senate confirmation hearings try to stop her after everything that they did to her previously and after the disgusting behavior with Trump.

And then to see not only the first black woman on the Supreme Court, but that every day that Clarence Thomas would have to see her face and argue against her.

[HurricaneWarning]

33. Great idea!

[Amimnoch]

37. That would be great too.

President Obama could also be that nomination. He wouldn't be the first ex-President to serve on the SCOTUS, and he most certainly is qualified.

Anita Hill would also be a GREAT choice though.

As near as I can tell Michele has no interest at all in a future run for POTUS. At least that's how it sounded in the couple of times I've seen the question posed to her.. but I've no doubt she'd make a damn great one.

[NewJeffCT]

44. While I love the image of Hill on the Supreme Court

I'd prefer President Clinton nominate somebody younger for SCOTUS.

[longship]

26. My gosh! She's a helluva public speaker!

R&

[demotux]

27. Here's the speech ...

... starting at 24:24 min:

[Beartracks]

64. Wow, that still frame could be album cover art.

=============

[HurricaneWarning]

32. I was watching CNN

and in the corner was the trump rally in progress. i think they delayed his coming out until she was finished. I think they were rewriting his speech so he wouldn't appear to be the complete asshole that he is. He's staying on the teleprompter. Lies! All lies, I tell you!

[Sorceress]

34. That speech was amazing! SHE is amazing!

[HurricaneWarning]

35. It was one of the best speeches I have heard in my lifetime.

I'm going to miss them both! Now I'm listening to the orange anus. What a difference.

[dgibby]

48. "Orange anus"!

LOVE it!

[AmericanMan1958]

36. Thank You, Michelle!!

For expressing my feeling as a male.
I DO Not and Will Not accept this type of talk or treatment of women in this country, I love.
Everyone deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.
Those are the morals and beliefs, I served to protect!
Those are the morals and beliefs, I will die protecting!
Thank you Michelle, for giving voice to the beliefs I hold true in my heart.

[Hekate]

38. KnR for FLOTUS Michelle

[sarge43]

39. Thank you, ma'am.

You speak for decent people everywhere.

[Scurrilous]

41. K & R

[gademocrat7]

42. Impassioned speech by the First Lady.

Awe inspiring.

[FrenchieCat]

43. Going High...she FLOTUS like a butterfly, stings like a Bee.....

Float = FLOTUS

[NastyRiffraff]

46. GOING HIGH!

Michelle is AMAZING! She took Trump apart, molecule by molecule. She'll be in high demand on the speaking circuit after January.

[Stonepounder]

49. Put this on Greatest Threads and leave it there until Nov 9!

I am SO proud that the Obama's are my President and my First Lady!

[LostinRed]

50. I got choked up

Very powerful

[ReformedGOPer]

51. Her speech made me cry.

About 35 years ago, I was working in an office, with a male boss. As he would walk around, checking on our work, he would give us all "neck rubs". It was uncomfortable as hell.

After I was passed over for a promotion (to fill a spot vacated by a maternity leave), I overheard him say something like "Well I couldn't promote her, (me) because what if she got pregnant just like so and so?

I did report him to HR, got the promotion and a raise, and an apology. But her speech brought a lot back.

I will miss Michelle Obama.

[kwassa]

52. Fabulous speech. Totally on point. Michelle for President.

[sarae]

53. K&R!

[Gothmog]

56. Michelle Obama’s remarkable speech sums up the case against Donald Trump

This is a truly great speech https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2016/10/13/michelle-obamas-remarkable-speech-sums-up-the-case-against-donald-trump/?utm_term=.22247161fdf9

[sba]

59. LOVE Her

So much to love, but on the campaign trail she makes the killer case FOR Hillary without mentioning what's his name. Like it isn't even worthy of her. Which is actually true.

[sheshe2]

60. she is so beautiful to me.

[dem in texas]

61. A butterfly sting like a bee - great Analogy

I heard her today when she gave the speech but was cooking and loading the wash, so didn't really concentrate on what she'd said, although I was liking what I heard. Tonight when Rachel ran her remarks again, I was sitting down watching TV so got the full impact of her speech. Her words so gentle, but so powerful, just wonderful She's the best!

[McKim]

62. Fantastic and A Big Success for the Women's Movement

Michelle did us all proud. Women are pushing back and this Trump thing and the exposure he is getting for his misdeeds will give new strength and propel a new stronger women's movement.

[bettyellen]

65. She killed it. Love me some MO.

[appleannie1]

66. That was the best speech I have heard all year. She hit it home to the hearts of women and the men

that know how to respect them. It is simple. Treat them as fellow human beings. That is something that Trump has no clue about. He views females as his own personal blow up dolls.

[whathehell]

67. Agreed..She's fantastic..So real and heartfelt.

She's a wonderrful American woman.
