| Michelle Obama: electing Trump would set bad example 'for entire world' | |
| Obama: | |
| If any of us raised a daughter like Hillary Clinton, we would be so proud... in this election, if we turn away from her, if we just stand by and let her opponent be elected, then what are we telling our children about what values they should hold. | |
| If “we” elect Trump, Obama tells the crowd, “we would be telling our children that “everything they’re seeing and hearing is perfectly OK. We are validating it. ... we’re telling our sons that it’s OK to humiliate women. We’re telling our daughters that this is how they’re treated.” | |
| She says “we won’t just be setting a bad example for our kids, but for the entire world.” | |
| Obama says that Trump “routinely degrades women, brags about sexually assaulting women.” | |
| Obama says it’s time to show that “enough is enough and we do not tolerate this kind of behavior in this country.” | |
| Then she tells New Hampshire women to vote: | |
| In 2012 women’s votes were the difference between Barack winning and losing... back in 2012 Barack won New Hampshire by about 40,000 votes, which sounds like a lot, but ... the difference was just 66 votes per precinct. | |

| The first lady is not stopping. She says that Hillary Clinton is the most qualified presidential nominee ever “and yes, she happens to be a woman.” | |
| “Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.” | |

| Michelle Obama: Trump's comments 'disgraceful, intolerable' | |
| Michelle Obama is delivering an extraordinary critique of Trump’s attack on women. | |
| Maybe we just don’t want to believe that there are still people out there who think so little of us as women. | |
| New Hampshire, be clear. This is not normal. This is not politics as usual. This is disgraceful. It is intolerable.... | |
| This is not about politics. This is about right and wrong. | |
| We simply can’t expose our children to this, not for another minute, and not for four years.... | |
| Enough is enough. This has got to stop right now. | |
| What messages are our little girls hearing? | |

| Michelle Obama: Trump engaged in 'sexually predatorial behavior' | |
| Michelle Obama says “we have heard a candidate talking about sexually assaulting women.” | |
| She says she thinks about Trump’s comments all the time, and that they make her shake. | |
| This was not just a lewd conversation ... this was a powerful individual speaking freely about sexually predatorial behavior... | |
| It’s one of countless examples of how he has treated women his whole life... | |
| I feel it so personally, and I’m sure that many of you do too, particularly women... | |
| The belief that you can do anything you want to a woman? It’s cruel, it’s frightening, and the truth is it hurts. It hurts. | |
