Obama to return to Florida to help Clinton get out the vote

WASHINGTON – As first ladies they could not have been more different. But if she did, Brinson added, he would enthusiastically support her.

Clinton and Obama, two of the country’s most influential women, took the stage together at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She’s passionately defended Clinton’s experience and strongly condemning her opponent Donald Trump as divisive and unprepared. In the United States, she said, “The voters decide our elections; they’ve always decided”.

This is Clinton’s first visit to Winston-Salem during the general election campaign.

The RealClearPolitics poll average still puts Mrs Clinton ahead in Florida by 1.6 percentage points, but she wants to lock it in. Hillary Clinton says Trump is “the poster boy for everything wrong with our economy”. “The Obamas don’t have that same stain on them”. It’s their first joint event of the 2016 campaign. This was not her first choice for me.

“If Hillary doesn’t win this election, that will be on us”, she said. “It has to do with our basic standards of decency, how do we treat people”.

“We shouldn’t let our kids think that politics is about pitching a new hotel or a new golf course or a TV contract”, Obama said. She reminds us that being a woman, or even being a person, can’t be limited to just one thing; we can be everything and anything all at once. Her campaign will also get a boost from President Barack Obama, whose national approval rating recently reached a new high. Trump, he said, told Clinton “you are one tough and talented woman”. It has shaken me to my core in a way that I couldn’t have predicted.

“She should do it – I think she could win”.

But ever since Trump’s campaign began to falter last summer after he criticized the family of a slain USA soldier, Clinton has been able to use her ad spending juggernaut to repetitively pound at criticisms of Trump, which several strategists said had exacerbated his slide in polls, where he now lags Clinton by eight percentage points.

In an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier to be broadcast tonight, Trump says he’s planning on writing a $10 million check to his campaign today.

While campaigning in OH, the Republican nominee criticized Clinton for being too tough on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Michelle Obama embodies the modern American woman, shattering antiquated notions of what it means to be a wife and a mother.

Obama has emerged one of the most powerful surrogates for the Democratic nominee, eight years after her husband defeated Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primaries.

“She is somebody who enjoys the deep respect of a large majority of Americans”, Earnest said.

The First Lady called this election unprecedented.

Early voting has been under way for the past week in North Carolina, with about one million ballots cast, around the same as in the last presidential election.

Clinton is relying on strong turnout from the state’s substantial African-American population, and a rally featuring Michelle Obama could inspire them to head to polling stations. Clinton came in promising, along with her husband, a new kind of partnership in charge at the White House. And she prosecuted the character argument against Trump in a way that only the mother in chief could.

She warned that Trump’s strategy was “to make this election so dirty and ugly that we don’t want any part of it” and opt to stay home.

After spending eight years in public, Michelle Obama has managed to do what few can: maintain privacy and authenticity while living under a microscope.

Would Michelle Obama convert her campaigning skills into political office of her own someday?
