Michelle Obama on Thursday delivered a devastating rebuke to Donald Trump, calling past comments and alleged misconduct by the Republican nominee “cruel”, “frightening” and beyond the “basic standards of human decency”. “I can’t believe that I’m saying that a candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women,” Obama said, her voice trembling as she addressed a university gymnasium filled with several hundred people. It has shaken me to my core in a way that I couldn’t have predicted.”In visceral terms and with a heightened sense of urgency, Obama painted the choice for president as a moral imperative. It’s one of countless examples of how he has treated women his whole life.”The New Hampshire rally was Obama’s sixth campaign event for Clinton. “If you vote for someone other than Hillary, or you don’t vote, you are helping to elect her opponent,” she said.
