Kaine said his son would “protect and defend the very North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies that Donald Trump now says he wants to abandon”. “And I promise you, our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump”, said Obama.
“He’s trying to tell you he cares about the middle class?”
Obama was the final speaker on a Democratic National Convention night Wednesday filled with big names.
Obama and Clinton were rivals in the hard-fought campaign for the 2008 Democratic nomination.

That’s not law and order, that’s criminal intent”, he said, adding, “Donald, you’re not fit to polish John McCain’s boots”.
The trend continued all night.
Trump has mostly been spared the wrath of outside protesters here.

“Speaking is hard for me, but come January, I want to say these two words: ‘Madame President, ‘” Giffords said.
