Some top Michelle Obama quotes collected in the order delivered #DNC2020
1. "You simply cannot fake your way through this job"

2. "In one of the states that determined the (2016) outcome, the winning margin averaged out to just two votes per precinct—two votes. And we’ve all been living with the consequences."

3. On her daughters: “They’re looking around wondering if we’ve been lying to them this whole time about who we are and what we truly value” as a country.

4. "When we close out the noise and the fear and truly open our hearts, we know that what’s going on in this country is just not right."

5. “Going high does not mean putting on a smile and saying nice things when confronted by viciousness and cruelty."

6. “Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us.

It is what it is."

7. "You know I hate politics … If you take one thing from my words tonight, it is this: if you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can; and they will if we don’t make a change in this election."

8. "If we have any hope of ending this chaos, we have got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it."

9. "This is not the time to withhold our votes in protest or play games with candidates who have no chance of winning. We have got to grab our comfortable shoes, put on our masks, pack a brown bag dinner, maybe breakfast too, be willing to stand in line all night if we have to."
