First Lady Michelle Obama emerges as surrogate MVP
ABC immediately followed up their collection of Clinton’s greatest hits with playing up President Barack Obama’s and First Lady Michelle Obama‘s speeches for Clinton on the campaign trail. The power she could wield here shouldn’t be written off – unburdened by being first lady, she could become an even more powerful voice or actor on whatever she wanted, but critically perhaps on issues too thorny or partisan for her previous role, such as racism or gun violence. His wife ― all she wants to do is campaign.
In adhering to her pattern, Michelle Obama didn’t mention Trump by name in an effort to convince the people of Arizona to vote for Clinton.
“We have a bunch of babies running our country”, Trump told a rally at the WNC Agricultural Center in Fletcher, N.C., near Asheville.
Stepping onto Arizona soil 19 days before the November 8 election, Obama was the third high-profile Democrat to visit the state this week in a fervent bid to turn a deeply red state blue.
ABC let its bias known Thursday evening during World News Tonight as their presidential debate recap was a glorified Hillary Clinton highlight reel. “I’ll keep you in suspense. OK?”
This argument that Michelle Obama doesn’t deserve to make this speech is emblematic of how, nationwide, some people feel about the Obamas’ place in the White House.
The only Democratic presidential candidate to win Arizona since 1976 was Bill Clinton, 20 years ago.
As close as she’s come is referring to “a candidate” or “this candidate”, while dedicating much of her time to a searing indictment of Trump’s words and positions.
It came a day after she made headlines in a attractive rose gold Aterlier Versace gown at husband Barack Obama’s final State Dinner.
The run of first-string surrogate events comes on top of the Clinton campaign’s $2 million investment in television ads in Arizona. Bernie Sanders will galvanize Democrats into flipping the state. Elizabeth Warren – Michelle Obama has stood out. “It has shaken to me to my core in a way that I couldn’t have predicted”, she told a campaign rally in New Hampshire.
He said the same things during a rally in North Carolina during the day, where he also called the current USA administration “losers” and “babies”.
One attendee wore a dress and mask with Clinton’s face while holding an upside-down Trump doll in a Captain America costume.
Still, political analysts said the intensity of her advocacy for Clinton is notable.
Not surprisingly, the first lady’s speech was met with cheer. They usually take a lower profile approach.
The two candidates will spend the remaining 18 days before the election criss-crossing the United States in their bid to persuade undecided voters.
Barack denied that Michelle’s comment was directed at the Clintons, and Michelle’s spokesperson said, “The only family Mrs. Obama was talking about was the Obama family”. “He still has everything coming to his desk every day”.
Team Clinton wisely learned from the impact Obama had, immediately using snippets of the speech to fire up Democratic voters, who have sometimes questioned their own candidate.
