Michelle Obama saved that convention since an hour and a half of last night’s schedule was unnecessary. I had hoped it would have been more interactive.

Too bad Michelle Obama does not like politics. She would wipe the floor with anybody if she ran for something. She really has a gift almost better than Barack.

I have to admit I was a little bored at first. Maybe I was use to the big conventions so the virtual idea was not working for me. But it started getting better and better and I did eventually get into it. I really like the video of Biden on the train. It showed him as somebody who really does care about ordinary people. But man oh man did Michelle Obama knock that thing out of the park. She cut Trump up so bad he needed to go to the hospital. But the thing about it is she did it gracefully. That was a master class and she did more for Biden than anybody else last night.

Fox News hosts laud Michelle Obama’s DNC speech: ‘Sliced and diced’ Trump

In her nearly 19-minute speech, Obama denounced President Donald Trump for creating chaos and division and failing to lead with empathy and competence. She also urged Americans to bring his presidency to an end and elect former Vice President Joe Biden.

Many right-wing figures, including some Fox News contributors, criticized the address online. Fox News chose not to air much of the first portion of the convention, opting instead to show Sean Hannity interviewing Donald Trump Jr. Nonetheless, the conservative network’s panel for the convention was apparently impressed by Obama’s speech.

“It’s very difficult to try to connect with an audience without an actual audience there with you but she has the ability to connect with people through the screen,” Fox News anchor Dana Perino said. “You got the sense when you talk about authenticity, she has it in spades.”

“She has that voice, she has clarity, and she knows what she is out there wanting to do,” Perino added. “She was trying to get everybody to really focus and then she had a call to action. Ask for your ballot tonight. I think that the DNC if they look over the course of the night, the first virtual convention of our history, I think they would say that Michelle Obama stuck the landing.”

Fox News host Chris Wallace agreed, saying Obama’s speech was a “heck of a contribution” to Biden’s campaign.

“She really flayed, sliced and diced Donald Trump, talking about the chaos and confusion and lack of empathy, especially coming from this president and from this White House,” he said.

Juan Williams, a network co-host and political analyst, said he believed Obama’s address outdid her rousing “When they go low, we go high” speech in July 2016. He compared the tone she took with viewers as something like that of a mother addressing her family. – AOL News, Aug. 18, 2020

I actually watched a good bit of it and was impressed by how well this never-been-done-before virtual event was put together!

Some of it actually gave me some goosebumps because, for me, it really captured who WE The People can be when WE come Together and put Our heats and minds to work on building a more perfect Union.

WE (those of Us who truly love this country) WE.Are.Americans d*mn it. And WE have the power to save Our country, Ourselves, Our democracy. WE can defeat Trump and his minions but that’s only the beginning.

In order to ensure that America lives up to its ideas and promise, it’s going to take a lot of work and the majority of Us. WE The People!
