Hillary Clinton Makes History Accepting Democratic Nomination

She aimed to draw on an idea that has driven her throughout her career, that all Americans should be given the chance to fulfill their potential, a campaign aide said.

Sanders delegates furious with Clinton’s nomination have protested all week at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia with various degrees of success. But we are not afraid.

Donald Trump is on the verge of a breakdown and is begging people not to watch Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech at the Democratic convention. “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”. “He’s betting that the perils of today’s world will blind us to its unlimited promise”.

“She’s a woman driven by compassion, by faith, by a fierce sense of justice and a heart full of love”, the only child of presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and former US President Bill Clinton told the crowd. It was the strongest connection I’d ever heard him make with her. And then you had that visual of Hillary Clinton walking on stage and she hugged Obama and they embraced and you saw what they were trying to do.

She said her primary goal as president will be to create jobs with rising wages.

The nominee’s daughter showed confidence as she discussed her mother’s dedication to public service and detailed her mother’s resilience, even during low points, such as the summer of 1994 when Clinton didn’t score on healthcare legislation.

“When my father says that he will make America great again – he will deliver.”

“Now we have to enforce it, and keep supporting Israel’s security”.

“He…talks a big game about putting America First”, Clinton said.

It’s not just voting for Clinton that party leaders are looking for from activists.

U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), the only female member of New Jersey’s congressional delegation, said Clinton’s pledge to unite the party and represent everyone, regardless of whether they support her, was the biggest takeaway in the speech.

It was one of the themes that flared often during the four days of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

One of the fascinating twists Thursday evening is that this time it’s Bill Clinton who will be the adoring spouse, rapt and smiling when the cameras cut away from the candidate in the spotlight. They both garner similarly high “unpopularity” ratings.

Hillary Clinton’s bid for the White House was an announcement eight years in the waiting.

She also thanked once-rival Bernie Sanders. She has been active in the campaign, as with her mother’s past campaigns.

The morning after her resignation, Wasserman Schultz – a Florida congresswoman – spoke at a breakfast hosted by the Florida delegation to the convention, and was booed. During retired General John Allen’s remarks, chants of “USA!” filled the hall and large flags were brought in to be waved. Police and firefighters who run towards danger? Trump, a former reality TV star, has portrayed the country as being under siege from illegal immigrants, crime and terrorism and as losing influence in the world. “I think his focus is trying to clean up the issues we have to deal with in the city and I don’t think he’s thinking in terms of being a political boss right now”, Solis said.

The unicorn of American politics, the “real Hillary Clinton”-the Hillary Clinton I’ve known for almost 30 years-that Hillary Clinton likes to wear low-heeled shoes to a butt-kicking. Donald Trump, you are no Ronald Reagan”, Elmets said”.

He said the alternative option, the election of Mr Trump, was simply not conceivable. We will not band a religion.

Ms Clinton is hoping she will do better than Mr Trump in the public’s mind based on her experience, especially on national security, and her ability to reach out to a more diverse part of the U.S. population.
