The New York Times Original article ›
LyrArc Article Gist
Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama campaign together in swing states such as North Carolina. Hillary Clinton capitalizes on the surging popularity of Michelle Obama, who has a 64%  approval rating, according to Gallup, 10 points more than president Obama, and above Hillary's 43 percent. Both women show a mutual admiration and sisterhood as they campaign together with rising crowd enthusiasm. For Michelle her unprecedented effort as First Lady is a result of the dirty campaign fought by Donald Trump to turn off voters to the political process, and her effort is meant to counter this. She says about this demeaning of women, "Enough is enough." Both women are drawn together with a campaign for a woman as president. And the slogan coined by Michelle has taken off  "When they go low, we go high." It has energized the very African American and millenial voters that have played an effective role in previous Democratic campaigns.

Questions about the narrative about Hillary Clinton's honesty- not a natural politician like Bill Clinton, some gaffes, but no less honest than Bill

The gaffes Benghazi, using a personal email server as Secretary of State, being labeled by Sanders as a shifty "progressive," speeches at Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs. Benghazi and Libya described by Obama as his biggest mistake, Clinton struggling to push back with Panetta, and Gen. Keane and Jones against Obama's policy error. The personal email server an error that did not compromise national security. An old progressive in the style of Bill Clinton, but focussed on getting things done and reaching accomodation to do this. Wall Street connections now rightly seen as letting lobbyists influence policy, yet unlikely to influence policy just as Heidi Cruz's work as a director of Goldman is less likely to influence Ted Cruz's policies. The campaign financing are part of politics that determines U.S. elections, and the U.S. campaign financing needs to learn from the British system that extends from the parliamentary elections to the referendum on membership in the European Union. The gap with young women voters more a result of young women having less experience with the discrimination issues of an older generation of women, according to Pew Trust surveys.
