Is Hillary Clinton Wall Street’s Candidate?

Much of Clinton’s speech was targeted at Trump, while drawing contrasts with approach of her own party.

Trump in his Republican National Convention speech last week painted a dark, divisive picture of America that he said he alone can fix, she said.

“She’s a woman driven by compassion, by faith, by a fierce sense of justice and a heart full of love”, the only child of presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and former US President Bill Clinton told the crowd.

Chelsea, 36, painted a picture of what it was like to have the former secretary of state, 68, by her side growing up. “People ask me all the time, how does she do it?”

She also promised a comprehensive immigration reform, one of the unfulfilled agendas of the outgoing president Barack Obama. “I’m starting to agree with you”. Rallies began the day before the start of the convention and continued until late Thursday afternoon, when an actual storm swept through Philly, clearing the streets.

Perhaps Trump has made a decision to cultivate a new image as a fair-minded critic and will soon be referring to the Democratic nominee as “Could Be More Ethical (Although, Really, Who Am I to Say?) Hillary”.

In typical Hillary fashion, Clinton hammered the issues, building a case not just against Donald Trump, but for a better America.

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. “And we’ll put that money to work where it belongs – creating jobs here at home!” she warned.

Hillary will never reform Wall Street.

“Does Donald Trump have the temperament to be commander in chief? She is criticized for her laugh”, Frame said Thursday. White working class supporters could easily end up carrying Trump to the White House and Hillary knows it. That demographic favours Trump over Hillary by some 40 points in head-to-head polls. “He can start by making things in America again”, she said as she rattled off a number of Trump products she says are produced outside of the United States.

Clinton, he said, only stands “with the donors and special interests who’ve bankrolled her entire life”. “He’s the only one that gets it”, Trump was quoted by ABC as saying.

And 82% of those CNN polled said Clinton’s policies would move the country in the right direction. But critics who are hoping she speaks about Benghazi and her private email server will likely be disappointed; there is little upside for Clinton to dwell on her biggest weaknesses with voters at a moment like this.
