Try Hillary's surrogates. Today President Obama was in Miami campaigning and got in his licks on both Marco Rubio and Donald Trump. He had the energy and good humor to break through the gloom generated by Trump. He tore into him on the election rigging theme and said Trump was questioning our whole democracy. What makes his speech so effective is that this is a black President defending our system. And he's funny.
In Phoenix, Michelle Obama was introduced by Barry Goldwater's granddaughter who invoked her grandfather against Trump. Michelle made the stake in the election real and also made it important to vote for Hillary.
Meanwhile in New Hampshire Joe Biden rocked the crowd with memories of the past and his sharp digs at Trump.
But I go back to Obama at the Democratic Convention this election is about who are as a country. In their different ways Barack and Michelle made the case before different crowds and why Hillary personifies that ideal and hope for progress.
Michelle actually made a great case for Hillary as a policy wonk being a good thing. I have heard today how that muddled her answers last night. Refreshing to hear a different point of view.
Hillary for her part gave the typical joke ridden speech at what is supposed to be humorous occasion --the Alfred Smith Memorial Dinner in Manhattan. After Donald was booed and stank the roof off the place, Hillary had to restore civility. She did . She doesn't have Barack's delivery but it pacified the crowd. Good daughter.
