Shaken to her core

Michelle Obama says it too – it’s not just the politics, the guy is a terrible human being.

First lady Michelle Obama delivered Thursday an impassioned denunciation of Donald Trump, calling the recently unearthed comments by the Republican presidential nominee “shocking” and “demeaning,” and below “basic standards of human decency.”

“I can’t believe I’m saying a candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women,” Obama said.

Obama said the comments made by Trump in the video, which was recorded in 2005, had left her “shaken.”
“I can’t stop thinking about this,” she said. “It has shaken me to my core in a way I could not have predicted.”
She added: “I know this is a campaign but this isn’t about politics. It’s about basic human decency.”
What I’m saying. He’s a bad man, in every way we know anything about. He’s bad to employees, to people who contract to supply him with goods or services, to wives, to rivals, to colleagues. If he has any pets I feel sorry for them.

    “If he has any pets I feel sorry for them.”

    That reminds me of his encounter with the bald eagle, maybe any pets he had already rejected him.

    He does not have any pets.

    As far as anyone knows, he has NEVER had a pet.

    Keith Olberman reported on that. It bothers me.

    Wow, #2 Samantha Vimes, that is indeed disturbing! Maybe not by itself but as corroboration of all other intel.

    Now I’m disturbed that somehow there’s something wrong with never having had a pet. When did that become a requirement to be a decent human being?

    Mike, like I said, not by itself but in combintion with a number of other disturbing personality traits — especially as a marker of non-empathy in a Presidential candydate.
