“But Hillary’s been in the room; she’s been part of those decisions”, he said.

– Tim Kaine is expected to accept his nomination as the presidential nominee. “We are clear-eyed about what our country is up against”. But Trump’s apocalyptic view, he said, was a wild and risky invention, “a deeply pessimistic vision of a country where we turn against each other, and turn away from the rest of the world”.
She also will continue to woo moderate Republicans who may be unnerved by Trump. But, that same speech contained a few groan-worthy lines – “We should all feel the Bern and not get burned by the other guy” – and too much “hey, do you remember” sort of phrasing.
The vice president made it clear he really knows Clinton and understands that she is passionate about issues that affect working class people, like student loans and unforeseen health issues. This was America’s first and last love, it’s one-and-only preacher-in-chief.
“He was authentic long before it became a buzzword in politics”, his wife told the delegates, who showed they agreed, some waving signs that read “Scranton”, his working-class hometown in Pennsylvania.
The Virginia governor said: “Hillary has a passion for kids and families… I ask you to carry her the same way you carried me”, he said. The previously unreported incident at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, or DCCC, and its potential ties to Russian hackers, are likely to heighten accusations, so far unproven, that Moscow is trying to meddle in the U.S. election to help Trump. Bloomberg said “God help us” if Trump runs the country like he’s run his businesses, and urged voters to choose the “sane, competent” candidate in Clinton.

The president seemed, at times, nearly baffled by the 2016 campaign.
Clinton’s campaign said she will lean heavily on the “stronger together” campaign theme in her remarks. “Donald Trump calls it “a divided crime scene” that only he can fix”.
Delivering a speech filled with mostly forced emotion, horrid clichés, and false characterizations, Joe Biden merely confirmed that this administration has no solutions. Unfortunately for Panetta, his speech came the moment when the most committed Bernie Sanders supporters chose to make a statement; a chant of “no more war” broke out on the convention floor, forcing Panetta to pause during his speech. It’s the courage of the young soldier from Arizona who almost died on the battlefield in Afghanistan, but who’s learned to speak again and walk again – and earlier this year, stepped through the door of the Oval Office on his own power, to salute and shake my hand. Hillary Clinton needs to connect with ordinary people, especially Anglo white people over 30 who do not have a college education.
But her gender isn’t why she’s voting for her, Frederick said. They both garner high “unpopularity” ratings.
President Barack Obama anointed her the inheritor of his legacy Wednesday night at the Democratic convention.
“I am an 80-year-old black woman who fought all her life for our rights”, the congresswoman said, as balloons and glitter rained down following Clinton’s address. He made a compelling case that, compared with what a Trump presidency would look like, continuity is looking better by the day. She’ll finish the job – and she’ll do it without resorting to torture, or banning entire religions from entering our country.
The president was not the only person to verbally take down Trump Wednesday. The America I know is full of courage, and optimism, and ingenuity.
Obama’s robust support for Clinton, his political foe-turned-friend, is also driven by deep concern that Republican Donald Trump might win in November and unravel the president’s eight years in office.

“America is already great; America is already strong and I promise you our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump”, Obama said.
