Politico: “Over the years, much has been made of the first lady’s animosity toward both Clintons (mostly fiction, with a soupçon of fact), a vestige of the bitter 2008 campaign. But on Monday night Michelle Obama delivered a more passionate and concise case for Clinton than the candidate has ever made for herself — and perhaps the single most effective political address delivered in 2016.”
New York Times: “In her speech, Mrs. Obama roused the convention hall into a frenzy by denouncing Donald J. Trump without ever using his name. She mocked his frequent use of Twitter, called him thin-skinned and questioned whether he has any real knowledge of policy. And she forcefully urged the audience and the television viewers to reject Mr. Trump’s campaign motto, casting it as a cynical description of a country in crisis that she does not recognize.”
The Fix: “An absolute home run. Period. It will be difficult for anyone in the next three days to deliver a better speech than the first lady did on Monday night.”
