'Trump’s new justification for attacking the Clintons: Michelle Obama ‘started it!’' WaPo

"Donald Trump offered a new justification on Friday for attacking Bill Clinton's indiscretions and Hillary Clinton's handling of them: Michelle Obama did it first.
Here's what Trump said in Fletcher, N.C.:
“And I see how [President Obama's]****wife likes Hillary, but wasn’t she the one that originally started the statement, ‘If you can’t take care of your home,’ right, ‘you can’t take care of the White House or the country?’ Where's that? I don’t hear that. I don’t hear that. She’s the one that started it.”
Trump then offered this as a justification for invoking the Clintons' personal problems.
“I said, ‘We can’t say that. It’s too vicious.’ Can you believe it? I said that — ‘We can’t say that.’ They said, ‘Well, Michelle Obama said it.’ I said, ‘She did?’****”
Well, not exactly — or, at least, not as Trump presented it. The fact is that the 2007 Michelle Obama statement Trump is referring to wasn't so clearly the dig at the Clintons that Trump would lead you to believe.
The remark in question came during an August 2007 event at which****Michelle Obama spoke in Chicago. Trump gets the quote pretty close to accurate, but not quite.
“One of the things — the important aspects of this race — is role modeling what good families should look like,” Obama****said at the time. “And my view is that if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House. Can't do it.”
She repeated the comment at a rally a few days later in Iowa, adding: “So we've adjusted our schedules to make sure that our girls are first, so while he's traveling around, I do day trips. That means I get up in the morning, I get the girls ready, I get them off, I go and do trips, I'm home before bedtime.”
Some reporting around the time did interpret this as a possible dig at the Clintons, and the Drudge Report took it from there, blaring the headline “Obama Wife Slams Hillary.”" continued here - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...mepage%2Fstory

Trump goes after the First Lady. Good luck with that.

Just saw Michael Moore on The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. He's got a new movie out about Trump. His message was simple, don't get complacent about this election. This country elected Nixon, Ronnie Raygunz and GeeDubya.
If we don't take back the Senate? We're fucked.

Right.....
It's easy right now to think its a slam dunk for Clinton.... But in the end, anything can happen.

McMuffin could win Utah. He'll be the principle beneficiary of Trump's implosion.
