President Obama called for the party to come together to defeat Donald Trump.

“His cynicism and undoubtedly his lack of empathy and compassion can be summed up in that phrase he is most proud of making famous: ‘You’re fired!'” How can there be pleasure in saying, ‘You’re fired?’ He’s trying to tell us he cares about the middle class?
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton chose Kaine of Virginia, as her running mate last week, opting for a partner at the November 8 election who has wide experience in public service to draw a contrast with Trump who has never been elected to office.
In contrast, Biden said, “Hillary understands” the plight of parents who can’t afford to send their child to college or the wife fearful that a medical emergency will cause economic catastrophe.
A Clinton presidency would help Obama cement his legacy, as Trump has vowed to repeal several of Obama’s major accomplishments, including the Iran nuclear deal, and said he would work to upend a pacific trade deal that Obama has been seeking as an global trade capstone. His strong rhetoric, articulate argument, and comments towards Donald Trump had the crowd going wild.
He also brought up the competition, Republican nominee Trump “He has no clue what makes America great”, he quipped.
Biden addresses the convention later Wednesday.
“I humbly accept my party’s nomination to be Vice President of the United States”, said Kaine.
The delegates ate it up, chanting “not a clue, not a clue” and jumping to their feet over and over, waving signs that read simply “Joe”. It’s never, never, never been a good bet to bet against America. “Parents who wonder if their kids will have the same opportunities we have”.
“Whereas Donald Trump who gets on the stage, wants to be president of the United States and demeans Mexicans and immigrants and Muslims and people with disabilities”. “And every single day since then, it’s been the honor of our lives for Jill and me, every day we’ve been grateful to Barack and Michelle for asking us to join them in an incredible journey-a journey that could only happen in America“.
Twitter, Facebook and other social media networks have changed the way the public discusses politics, much the way email and websites changed the way candidates reached out to voters.
“Tonight, I ask you to do for Hillary Clinton what you did for me”. The America I know is decent and generous.
He said: “She has never forgotten who she is fighting for”.

“We endure. We overcome and we always, always, always move forward”, he said.
