According to the self-proclaimed serial tweeter, while many young people are still lamenting Sanders’ loss, the thought of Trump as president is making it easier for them to back presumptive Democratic nominee Clinton.

During her own remarks, Clinton effusively thanked and lauded Sanders for his endorsement and his campaign, spoke to the tragic events in Dallas last week and to the epidemic of both police violence and weapons of war on our streets. Also today, Desi Doyen joins us for the latest Green News Report on the environmental and climate issues hammered out in the Democratic Party platform over the weekend, the results of which are being described by both the Sanders and Clinton camps as the greenest in history. He says, “We can not have a man with Trump’s temperament with the nuclear code and running this country”.

Clinton’s campaign said the Democratic presidential nominee would use the backdrop of the Old State House in Springfield, Illinois, to discuss the importance of uniting the country and healing divisions in the nation’s politics and culture.

Hillary Clinton is embracing the symbolism of Abraham Lincoln’s “House Divided” speech, arguing the nation needs to fix its divisions after a series of high-profile shootings. It’s the site of Lincoln’s famous address in 1858. “As someone in the middle of a hotly fought political campaign I can not stand here and claim that my words and actions haven’t sometimes fueled the partisanship that often stands in the way of progress, so I recognize I have to do better, too”, she added.

But she sought to present herself as a unifying force against Trump, pointing to the businessman’s inflammatory statements about Muslims, Hispanics and others.

Brock, who did not pitch the bet to Trump’s campaign before releasing it to the media, expects the tax returns to detail how much Trump has made from scrutinized business deals, such as Trump University, a business training seminar that charged participants who now say in court they were scammed. In an interview with The Associated Press last week, she said she didn’t want “to think about that possibility”.

“While there is no definite link between Clinton’s drop in Florida and the US Justice Department decision not to prosecute her for her handling of emails, she has lost ground to Trump on questions which measure moral standards and honesty”, Brown said.
