But, just as the Republican Party’s internal differences were on display a week ago in Cleveland, the Democrats struggled to show a unified face to the nation.
About 29.8 million viewers watched as Hillary Clinton accepted the nomination as the first female presidential candidate Thursday night.
“When any barrier falls in America, for anyone, it clears the way for everyone”. “This one, I would never vote for her”, he said of Clinton. “You might have noticed, I love talking about mine”.
Some were hoping for more of an effort to bring Sanders supporters into the party that is backing Clinton.
The Democratic nominee set out to prove she is ready to for her first state of the union address while childish Trump is busy lashing out on Twitter.
“He doesn’t make a thing in America, except bankruptcies”.
For some of the delegates still supporting Sanders, the historic moment inspired not ecstasy but conflicting feelings.

“Now, you didn’t hear any of this from Donald Trump at his convention”.

Although Trump has been a proven ratings draw throughout his campaign, the Democratic convention had proven more popular with viewers than the Republicans for its first three nights. Speakers, some of whom included military and police officers, made frequent mentions of religion and patriotism.
Contrasting herself with Mr. Trump on qualifications to be the Commander-in-Chief, she said: “I can’t put it any better than Jackie Kennedy did after the Cuban Missile Crisis”.
The convention provided hours of glowing tributes, including deeply personal testimonials from her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and former boss, President Barack Obama.
He also accused Clinton of being dishonest about his abilities as a campaigner.
Calling Clintion’s speech “an insulting collection of clichés and recycled rhetoric”, the GOP presidential nominee said the former Secretary of State talked down to the public while lying about him.
“Let’s look to the future with courage and confidence”, she said.
But would her election really lead to the end of the glass ceiling in other areas of American life, or would she merely be “reenacting all of these familiar gender dynamics we’ve seen a million times before?” He has proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country and a wall along the border with Mexico to keep illegal immigrants out. “He would have gone home a hero”, Trump said.
Clinton, however, believes Americans want more.

Now that Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is Donald Trump’s-ahem-running mate, he is required by Republican common law to abandon any remaining sense of shame.
