He hit Clinton repeatedly for being soft on terror, a favorite attack by Republicans.

Daughter Chelsea Clinton introduced the nominee before the speech, telling personal stories of their lives together and calling her mother “a fighter who never, ever gives up and who believes that we can always do better”. Trump also attacked Clinton’s legacy as Secretary of State by saying, “This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction and weakness”.
On July 25, Clinton spoke, followed by Trump the following day.
-“It’s just not right that Donald Trump can ignore his debts, but students and families can’t refinance theirs”. Even many of Bill Clinton’s speeches were derided as “laundry lists”, but he destroyed Bob Dole in 1996 by showing, again and again, that Dole’s proposals were fanciful and risky while his would help ordinary people in tangible ways. And especially stronger, together. Hillary Clinton sought to draw a sharp contrast between herself and Donald Trump as she ticked off one policy difference after another with her Republican opponent.
Millions bore witness this week as a cadre of the party’s brightest stars delivered soaring testimonials to Clinton’s qualifications and character.
She said she was happy for boys and men, too, because when a barrier falls, it clears the way for all.
The former first lady, NY senator and secretary of state has been the frequent Republican target during her more than three decades in national politics, most recently for her use of a private email server for government business while at the State Department.
“A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons,”she declared”.
And speaking of her own childhood, she said: “Regardless of what was happening in her life, she was always, always there for me”.
Mrs Clinton said it would be her “primary mission” to create more opportunities and more good jobs with rising wages, and to confront stark choices in battling determined enemies and “threats and turbulence” around the world and at home. Yet Sanders and his supporters insisted the system was “rigged”, as if the rules had been written in the past year or so with Sanders in mind. Warren was heckled with cries of “We trusted you”. “In our vision, we will put America first”.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton vowed Thursday that under her leadership the United States would strengthen its ties with Japan and other allies around the world if she is elected as the country’s first female president.
But she pressed on, adopting the issues Sanders championed under the moniker of progressive pragmatism. (The one between Clinton and Trump is now close.) “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man you can trust with nuclear weapons”, she said, homing in on the extraordinary danger Trump represents.
After thanking her family and President Obama, she thanked her rival for the Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders, and his supporters.
In a Hillary Clinton White House, it sounded as if Democrats would be from Mars, leaving Trump Republicans to spin untethered somewhere beyond Pluto. “Let me ask you, have you even read the United States Constitution?”
John Stubbs and Ricardo Reyes, two former officials in President George W. Bush’s administration, attended the convention to generate interest in their pro-Clinton grassroots organization called R4C16.org.
Eight years after losing her Democratic nomination race to Barack Obama, the former first lady, US senator from NY and secretary of State also sought to reintroduce herself to the American people, with the help of testimonials from other speakers and a biographical film. He has proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country and a wall along the border with Mexico to keep illegal immigrants out. On the last day of the Republican National Convention, Trump questioned Clinton’s trustworthiness, saying she has “bad instincts and bad judgment”. But within the overall electorate, 90 percent of “consistent” Sanders supporters already say they’re ready to vote for the former secretary of State, according to the Pew Research Center.
