It should have been Hillary's comeback to Donald trump on the night of the debate, which didn't happen. I found Hillary's response trump not good enough.

Michelle did what Hillary should have done. I watched it with pride that she spoke the truth. However, I found myself cringing every time Hillary's name was me mentioned. Not because I don't like her but because of her husband.
If a woman watched the whole 26mins and still supported trump, then am sure you can't be saved.

I have just posted a link to this video too. Grin

They need to all stop talking and just elect Michelle already. Preferably for life. She's amazing.

BristolLFR · 14/10/2016 18:42

Agree ftw she's bloody brilliant

quencher · 14/10/2016 18:43

That's what I thought. you forgot Hillary was running during that Whole speech until Michelle name dropped Hillary's every now and then.

What ftw said. Micelle Obama is an inspiration

MadisonAvenue · 14/10/2016 18:53

Michelle Obama is an incredible woman. I feel sad that the Obama presidency is coming to an end, but hopefully she will stay in the public eye.

EmmaMacGill · 14/10/2016 19:14

Just listened to the whole speach. What a woman, I wish she would run for president

Roussette · 14/10/2016 19:20

I really rate her. And how sad that the best the US can come up with is HC and DT.

There was a great link that I can't find that talked of what she has done whilst being in WH... quite inspiring

They need to all stop talking and just elect Michelle already.
Oh, yeah.

And they could have Obama as the WH stand up comedian.

God, I love them both. Do you think if we asked nicely they'd come and run the UK for a while?

scallopsrgreat · 14/10/2016 19:33

Michelle can get away with this whereas Hillary can't. Not that I'm dismissing her speech coz I thought it was fab. Obama is is just in a very different position to Clinton. She isn't running for president and as such is afforded more leeway.

MrsJayy · 14/10/2016 19:34

I adore Michelle Obhama just let her be president and be done with it. her speech was amazing truthful and honest Hilary Clinton is so lukewarm and unfeeling her respinse was very clinical.

Goingtobeawesome · 14/10/2016 19:36

I guess HC couldn't say much about the sleazy DT when her sleazy husband was right there.

MrsJayy · 14/10/2016 19:37

Ah had a thought if Hilary was emotional they would come back at her as an emotianal female . Urgh she cant win

scallopsrgreat · 14/10/2016 19:45

Nope!

MrsJayy · 14/10/2016 20:03

scallopsgreat you were right Hilary is running for president she had to stay focused i do think Michelles speech was right for Michelle

scallopsrgreat · 14/10/2016 20:05

Oh I agree. It was great.

Shallishanti · 14/10/2016 20:05

go Michelle

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 14/10/2016 20:10

Very true.

Heathen4Hire · 14/10/2016 20:12

Love Michelle. Barack is a lucky guy.

And all of us are doing what women have always done: we’re trying to keep our heads above water, just trying to get through it, trying to pretend like this doesn’t really bother us maybe because we think that.....Maybe we’re afraid to be that vulnerable. Maybe we’ve grown accustomed to swallowing these emotions and staying quiet, because we’ve seen that people often won’t take our word over his. Or maybe we don’t want to believe that there are still people out there who think so little of us as women.

It makes me weep. This is possibly the most feminist speech I've heard a woman in her position make.

quencher · 14/10/2016 20:57

Misunderstanding yy to your post.

Would this election be different for Hillary if she had dumped her husband then?

I have a massive girl crush on Michelle.

OlennasWimple · 14/10/2016 21:02

LordRothermere - me too!

AyeAmarok · 14/10/2016 21:05

She's amazing.

I too am sad to see the end of Michelle and her husband in the Whitehouse.
