“I’m proud that we put a lid on Iran’s nuclear program without firing a single shot”, she said. “We will rise to the challenge, like we always do”, she said.
Clinton also offered an olive branch to those who backed her rival Bernie Sanders, telling them their voice had been heard, even as isolated voices of dissent echoed around the Philadelphia sports arena.
USA soldier Humayun SM Khan died in a auto bombing on duty. Khizr Khan said, brandishing a copy to loud cheers. “Donald Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims”, he said.
We wondered if that’s what Trump really said.
“Here’s the sad truth: There is no other Donald Trump.This is it.” she said. Go and look at the graves.
“You have sacrificed nothing, and no one!” “But in Hillary Clinton’s America, millions of people are left out in the cold”.
“I request to honour the sacrifice of my son”. This was a historic night, not just for Hillary, not just for the Democrats, but for the entire world.
