Clinton: Don’t Give Into Negativity, Go Watch Michelle Obama’s Speech

Source: Talking Points Memo

Visiting a San Francisco, California campaign office on Thursday soon after Michelle Obama delivered a powerful speech on the 2016 race, Hillary Clinton urged her supporters to give it a watch as a break from the “negativity” in the news cycle.

“Once again, she not only made a compelling and strong case about the stakes in the election but about who we are as Americans,” Clinton said, referring to the first lady. “And we cannot let this pessimism, this dark and divisive and dangerous vision of America take hold in anybody's heart. We have to keep lifting up this campaign.”

“I want to give you something to vote for, not just against,” she continued. “I want to give you an agenda that will move us forward into the future.” The first lady rallied Clinton supporters at a Manchester, New Hampshire with a vocal denunciation of Donald Trump’s recently leaked comments bragging about using his celebrity status to grope women without their consent.

Without once mentioning his name, Obama held forth on the “shocking” and “demeaning” comments that the Republican nominee has made about women throughout this election cycle.

She was excellent! Very mature and inspirational, and may I hope, aspirational? LOL... We hope.

She preached wonderfully about how real men are disgusted by Dumdum, and don't talk about assaulting women. She's right! They MAY (and I say may, because some men are super proper!) joke about sexual exploits with others, but I've never heard a guy say he forcibly pushes himself on women! UGH...
