Michelle’s Basket of Deplorables

“Mrs. Obama’s steps into the campaign spotlight underscore her transformation from a once-reluctant political spouse into a confident public figure…

'in this geography of sentiment the personal is indeed political...placing the female prerogative at the center of civilization'

My advice: drop that frock in the basket of deplorables and send it off to the Salvation Army.
