USA women lawmakers back Hillary Clinton as next President

“And she keeps her cool”, Obama said of Clinton earlier.

Mr Trump, a 70-year-old NY businessman who has never held political office, is running just ahead of Mrs Clinton in a RealClearPolitics average of recent national opinion polls.

For Clinton, the stakes are enormous.

“Especially for the Republican Party, it is very important that Trump loses this election”.

“Nothing truly prepares you for the demands of the Oval Office”.

“By so many measures, our country is stronger and more prosperous than it was when we started”, Obama said on the penultimate night of the Democratic National Convention.

When asked his opinion on why Hillary Clinton refuses to hold press conferences, Trump said, “Crooked Hillary Clinton will not do press conferences because she can not explain her illegally deleted 33,000 emails, or her disaster in Libya, or her role pushing TPP (which she would 100% approve if she got the chance), or her support for a 550% increase in Syrian refugees, etc”.

That coalition was vividly on display in the first two nights of the convention in Philadelphia. “This moment is about the landmark progress President Hillary Clinton will achieve for families everywhere yearning for a better life, a better chance, in a better America”.

“We must unite around a candidate who can defeat a unsafe demagogue”, Bloomberg said.

Clinton didn’t speak before the 2012 Democratic convention, because she was on an overseas trip as the secretary of state at the time.

“We battled for a year and a half”, recalled Obama during his speech Wednesday night.

“Time and again, you’ve picked me up”.

President Barack Obama brought tears to our eyes with the closing address on night three of the DNC, when he told the delegation all the reasons why Hillary Clinton is the only person who’s qualified – even overqualified – to be president!

Through four nights of polished convention pageantry, Democratic heavyweights told a different story about Clinton.

It’s not over yet, but Hillary Clinton’s campaign is already looking to claim victory with this week’s Democratic National Convention.

A studious wonk who prefers policy discussions to soaring oratory, Clinton has acknowledged she struggles with the flourishes that seem to come naturally to Obama and her husband. She’ll lean heavily on her “stronger together” campaign theme, invoking her 1996 book “It Takes a Village”, her campaign said.

On Thursday, people familiar with the matter said the FBI is investigating a cyber attack against another Democratic Party group, which may be related to the earlier hack against the DNC.

“Trump says he wants to run the nation like he’s run his business”.

She also will continue to woo moderate Republicans who may be unnerved by Trump. “Because he’s selling the American people short”, Obama said. He’s one of several military leaders and service members who have taken the stage to vouch for Clinton’s national security experience.

Democrats said the comments were the latest demonstration that Trump is unqualified to be commander in chief.

Trump, appearing at his Miami area golf course, set off a firestorm by effectively encouraging Russian hackers to find Clinton’s State Department emails.

Obama and Trump have an unusually acrimonious personal history for a president and one of his potential successors. Tim Kaine, who addressed the convention Wednesday.
