Michelle Obama’s Powerful Speech at the Democratic National Convention Sparks Speculation
In a recent poll, only one Democrat was shown to have the potential to beat Donald Trump in the upcoming election – Michelle Obama. Despite repeatedly stating that she has no political ambitions, the former first lady continues to be the most popular Democrat in America.
After her powerful speech at the Democratic National Convention, it’s easy to see why there has been speculation about her running for office. Mrs. Obama, along with her husband, took a different approach in their speeches, painting Trump as a grievance-obsessed grumbler whose act has gone stale.
They used humor to cut him down, portraying him as an ego-driven annoyance rather than a sinister threat. This new approach, credited to Vice-Presidential pick Kamala Harris and others, may prove to be very effective in the campaign against Trump.
By criticizing Trump but not his supporters, and by poking fun at him rather than provoking fear, the Obamas have found a way to effectively campaign against a candidate who seemed almost unassailable just weeks ago. Their speeches offer a less ominous and divisive view of the election, focusing on listening to concerns and encouraging understanding rather than demonizing the opposition.
With Michelle Obama’s popularity and powerful speeches, could she be the key to defeating Trump in November? Only time will tell.
