Despite, or perhaps because of the protests, Clinton made an explicit pitch for unity Thursday, not just to her party’s left wing, but to Republican’s as well.

From trolling Democratic speakers to trying to clean up his own messes, Mr. Trump has been firing from the hip, running his own version of a reality check on his Democratic opponents, the press and particularly Hillary Clinton and President Obama.
The convention, held in Philadelphia, got off to a rocky start this week amid determined resistance from supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders, whom Clinton defeated in state primary elections to secure the nomination.
Clinton didn’t acknowledged any of the jeers or yelling.
Along with his fulsome endorsement of Clinton, Obama joined with Wednesday’s other speakers in blasting Trump.
Hillary Clinton has 100 days to make her case to voters about why they should choose her in November.
“She has answered hundreds, if not thousands, of questions from reporters in one-on-one interviews”, said Benenson. “When there are no ceilings, the sky’s the limit”. It was nice to see Clinton, and Barack Obama before her, to celebrate the power of those ideas.
She said details should be a “big deal” to the president.
Clinton said the presidential election presents a stark choice on national security, with the US facing what she says are “determined enemies that must be defeated”.
“A person she has always liked is Michelle Obama”, Trump speechwriter Meredith McIver said, in a statement issued last week.
And then when you come back, it will say D-Vt?
Clinton said she’ll stand by North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies against any Russian threats.
So that brings us back to tonight and Clinton’s extremely hard task ahead.
She also will continue to woo moderate Republicans who may be unnerved by Donald Trump.
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton often talks on the campaign trail about being a grandmother.
If you’re with her, Thursday is the night to tune in. Clinton, she said, just hasn’t been a positive for black Americans.
That’s a knock on Trump. “Could be like that”, Clinton said. “Do they want to take us before the Civil Rights Act?”
He also stirred the pot with new controversial comments about Vladimir Putin, saying the Russian president is “certainly doing a better job than Obama is”. That doesn’t mean she won’t sometimes be wrong.
Chelsea was a teenager when her father, Bill Clinton, became president.
She praisied Sanders for putting economic and social justice issues “front and center” – where she says they belong. “Believe me!” The crowd laughed.
The #BernieOrBust movement persists, with an Economist/YouGov survey showing that only 44 percent of people who voted for Sanders in the primaries intend to vote for Clinton this fall.
“We’ll have a press conference when we want to have a press conference”, said Benenson.
Trump is unmoved. The billionaire owner of the Trump Organization, an worldwide development company, reiterated at a news conference Wednesday that the Internal Revenue Service is auditing his tax returns and that he’ll release them only once that review is complete.
Clinton asked whether Trump would stay true to the phrase on the country’s seal – “E Pluribus Unum”, or out of many, we are one.
“Donald Trump, you are asking Americans to trust you with their future”, Khan said. We’ll be back to follow the campaign and other political stories next week.
She said President Franklin Roosevelt’s famous words are the flawless rebuke: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”.
Trump, a 70-year-old NY businessman who has never held political office, is running just ahead of Clinton in a RealClearPolitics average of recent national opinion polls. She has a significant chance to be the first woman president of the United States. This was a subject where she could have tried to neutralize some of Trump’s appeal, but didn’t.
In addition to blaming the IRS audit, Trump has said in interviews that it might not make political sense for him to put out his returns.
She will balance her policy strengths with an attempt to connect with Americans watching from their living rooms as she faces a nation divided by intense campaign rhetoric, spikes in race-related gun violence, and heightened fear brought about by a spate of terror attacks around the world.
Do you consider yourself a Democrat?
She voiced support for raising the minimum wage, expanding health insurance and ensuring women are paid the same as men.

“I’ve seen her holding the hands of mothers anxious about how they’ll feed their kids, anxious about how they’ll get the healthcare they need”, Chelsea recalled, saying that after those conversations her mother would get straight to work seeing what she could do to help.
