Clinton’s final day of the Democratic National Convention will feature speeches by a former member of President Ronald Reagan’s administration and a U.S. Chamber of Commerce official who is heading a GOP group supporting Clinton, part of an expanded outreach to Republican voters and donors. She took the stage at her first rally with her husband, former president Bill Clinton, and running mate Tim Kaine, the Virginia senator, standing behind her.

But for all her political star power, Obama does not enjoy the grind of the campaign trail, and she tends to ask campaign strategists to pick and choose their efforts to deploy her. Stephanie Cutter, a political consultant who was a top aide to the Barack Obama campaigns, said the first lady is a careful planner who will probably take control of her schedule.
Taking aim at Trump’s campaign promise to “Make America Great Again”, Obama said: “America is already great. He wants us to fear the future and fear each other”.
“Through his financial documents, we are trying to break into the image that he’s portraying to the American people”, Mana said.
“We will not ban a religion, we will work with all Americans and allies to fight and defeat terrorism”.
“Donald Trump can’t even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign”, she said.
“We are clear-eyed about what our country is up against. I will gladly lend you my copy”, Khan said.
The project began in earnest when Clinton delivered a foreign policy speech in early June that was devoted exclusively to deriding Trump’s statements.
“Another way to think about this is: Even if you don’t follow Donald Trump, you only need one person in your network re-tweeting what he’s posting in order for you to be exposed to his messages”, said Pablo Barbera, a professor at University of Southern California’s School of International Relations. “He loses his cool at the slightest provocation”.
“We understand that we earned their support and their trust”. “I sweat the details of policy”, she said. For those who vote for me and those who don’t.
Ticking off her mother’s work with foster children, 9/11 first responders as a NY senator, and for women around the world as secretary of state, Chelsea said: “She never forgets who she’s fighting for”.
“He will never, ever release his tax returns”.
She continued: “Don’t let anyone tell you our country is weak and don’t believe anyone who can tell you ‘I alone can fix it”.
Clinton pivoted to the left during the primaries and fended off self-described Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders.
As she prepared to deliver her speech, sources familiar with the matter said the FBI is investigating a cyber intrusion at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) that may be related to an earlier hack at the Democratic National Committee.
The big-name Democrats were “rocking the house”, the chairman said. “We wrote it together”. “We simply can not let that happen as Americans”.
Still, Clinton, who isn’t known for her oratory, will aim to move others like him.
Chants of “Hillary, Hillary” from her own supporters repeatedly drowned out the protests.
Making history as the first female major party nominee for president, Hillary Clinton said Thursday that America faces “a moment of reckoning” over the economy, terrorism, national unity, and the candidacy of Donald Trump. She spent a few moments to acknowledge what accepting the nomination meant for women. She told PopSugar, “I want you to know the Hillary I know: a role model and the best mom anyone could hope for”. I’m so grateful that she’s Charlotte and Aidan’s grandmother.
“After all”, she added.
“I get it that some people just don’t know what to make of me”, she said.
Her daughter Chelsea, who introduced her, also aimed to humanize her mother, regaling the crowd with tales about she loves FaceTiming with her granddaughter Charlotte.

“When she went to France to learn about their child care system, I remember one was all about the Eiffel Tower”, Chelsea Clinton said. “It’s the calling of her life”.
