In her speech at the Democratic National Convention, Obama had said that she trusted Clinton to protect her daughters; here, she went beyond that, saying, in effect, that she would be glad if Sasha and Malia were not only kept safe by Clinton but became someone like her.
Trump is either victorious or victimized, but never a loser. This week marked the end of Trump trying to actually win, and the beginning of him plotting to explain why the election was stolen.
Michelle Obama criticizes Trump’s behavior:
A six-year-old knows this is not how adults behave, it’s not how decent human beings behave and this is certainly not how someone who wants to be president of the United States behaves. Because let’s be very clear, strong men, men who are truly role models, don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful.
What a moving speech. Who is better to speak on the women issue better than our fantastic first lady.
Jessica Walsh and Timothy Goodman use their design skills to take on Trump:
I’m with her because he’s crazy. And racist. And xenophobic. And misogynistic. And homophobic. Trump doesn’t love America, he loves himself. You may not love every thing about Hillary, but we’re all in trouble if we don’t vote for her. Please register to vote!
Ms. Clinton, in other words, is dogged, resilient, purposeful and smart. Unlike Mr. Clinton or Mr. Bush when they ascended, she knows Washington; unlike Mr. Obama when he ascended, she has executive experience. She does not let her feelings get in the way of the job at hand. She is well positioned to get something done.
Simply put, Clinton is the one candidate who presents the opportunity for steady, reliable leadership abroad and here at home. Trump’s policies, meanwhile, represent a dark, dangerous direction for the nation if implemented.
If she is elected, Clinton would be well advised to be much more transparent and to wall herself and her administration off from the influence of lobbyists.
Clinton’s experience is in the real world of governing, a world that requires patience, nuance and the willingness to do the hard work of mastering the facts. The presidency is no place for someone who relies on bluster and bullying.
Mad props to Paul Ryan and John McCain for standing up against Trump. Although I don’t expect them to endorse Hillary, they had done the right thing.
Ted Cruz, on the other hand, is a disgrace. He endorsed the man who insulted his own father and wife; therefore, sexual assault on women doesn’t mean anything to Cruz.
Likewise, Marco Rubio is still endorsing Trump is not a surprise. Just like when he criticized Trump’s small hand, he still grabbed on to it like a piece of filet mignon.
As for Chris Christy and Rudy Giuliani, they would suck his dick if Trump tells them to. (Excuse my locker-room banter.)
I can’t believe I am saying this, but I am worried about Trump. I sincerely hope that he could make it through Nov. 8 without checking into a mental health institution. How can he live through the day in every second of extreme scrutiny?
Why did he get himself into this position? He could have lived quietly and not have to do anything for the rest of his life. He’s not getting involved into politic to change the world. Trump is desperate for attention, but is it worth exposing himself and his past?
Trump is now against the world. He is making more enemies than allies. It only gets worse from now until Election Day. I still hope he won’t be our next president, but I also don’t want to see him becoming a lunatic.
