Michelle Obama Argues Against Donald Trump Using The Mommy Card; First Lady Wins!

The First Lady Michelle Obama was one of the speakers on the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Pennsylvania. While she's not exactly a politician, her speech on Monday, July 25, has been lauded as one of the best a Democrat has ever made for Hillary Clinton, the presidential candidate of the party.

Michelle Obama made the case for Clinton without even mentioning the Republican opponent Donald Trump in her speech, per Patch. The first lady also knew whom to appeal -- the moms and parents just like her -- and observers noted that she did this in a manner that delivered her message perfectly.

Michelle Obama stated that Hillary Clinton is the candidate who can give America's younger generation a better future. She cited that Clinton is an advocate for children and enumerated how this advocacy has encompassed Clinton's work all these years as a lawyer, first lady and senator.

Michelle Obama also used her own daughters as an example as to why she is supporting Hillary Clinton for president. She said that she wants the kind of leader with good public service for her kids to look up to, and not a president who would answer issues in 140 characters, alluding to Donald Trump's penchant for Twitter arguments, per CNet.

She also asked parents to take time to sit with their children while they're watching TV and assess if the person they want the kids to see is a good role model. The call is so much in line with one of Hillary's ads that depicts Donald Trump as bad role model for kids, as Parent Herald previously reported.

Michelle Obama also reminded the public, in the same way she reminds her own girls, of how politics can be cruel, which has been highlighted the past few weeks as campaign fever heats up. "We don't stoop to their level," said the First Lady. "No, our motto is, 'When they go low, we go high.'" Watch the full context of Michelle Obama's speech at the DNC below.
