Michelle Obama is giving another historic speech

Not sure where she is - Arizona? - but she is hitting another one out of the park!

Hitting Trump on how he doesn't people as what they are. Trumps vision "grounded in hopelessness and despair" - CNN banner right now.

No link - live on CNN. MSNBC had cut away from it.

ETA - now CNN cut away also. And the speech was in Arizona.

I want to see the entire speech - hopefully it will be on YouTube later!

I think Michelle would make a great Supreme Court Justice - maybe to replace Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

But I'm pissed at both of the channels. After all these months of covering every single drop of vitriol oozing from Trump's orifice, they won't carry a complete speech by our First Lady.

Not sure if she or her husband is better. They're just both so damn good at public speaking.

Dare I say I might give a slight edge to Michelle.

That entire segment of the speech was so inspiring! And the contrast between the First Lady Michelle Obama and the cretin Trump was made so clear in her speech.

That's probably by the cable channels cut her off.
