Michelle Obama's happy place seems to be the place where she tells America how disappointed she is in us. But even by the standards of political convention speeches, hers was really dishonest. Blaming Trump for her husband's policy on housing children who enter country illegally
was really low, for example. Even corporate media had to acknowledge that. And resuscitating her "they go low, we go high" rhetoric at a time when her party's base is violently rioting, canceling people over speech, and terrorizing the country generally didn't quite work ...
Particularly given her threat that only way to stop her party's rioters was to vote GOP out of office. "Nice country you have there, shame if anything happened to it" is straight up mob tactics. But others liked it, so it goes to show that there's an audience for every message.
I was going to say this on Outnumbered today when we talked about the speech but didn't get a chance because we ran out of time, so Twitter will have to do, ha ha.
