“I want you to know, I’ve heard you”, Clinton said to supporters. “We wrote it together”.

Clinton also trained fire on Trump’s dystopian view of America.
Another South Asian element in her speech was a tribute to Army Captain Humayun Khan, a 27-year-old Pakistani-American army man killed in 2004 in Iraq trying to save his soldiers from a vehicle bomb. “And we’ll put that money to work where it belongs – creating jobs here at home!” she warned.
In his speech at the Republican convention earlier this month, Trump Jr had declared: ‘We will not accept the current state of our country because it’s too hard to change. “We will not build a wall”.
“If we’re so strong together, then why not let us back in the room?” said Ms. Watson, who plans to switch her registration from Democrat to independent.
The FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s use of a private internet server didn’t result in criminal charges, but it did appear to deepen voters’ concerns with her honesty and trustworthiness. “You can’t. One is real, the other is made up”.
Afterward, Chelsea returned to proudly introduce “my mother, my hero, and our next president, Hillary Clinton”. At first, she said, even she didn’t really believe Trump was being serious when he insulted John McCain’s military service, called women pigs, and discredited a federal judge for his Mexican heritage.
“What’s the difference in what I told you and what they said?”
The anti-Trump message was a striking reminder of Clinton’s own vulnerabilities, as polls show that a majority of Americans say they question her honesty. “She will also need to convince voters who don’t trust her to nonetheless come to her side by November”. It was in part personal, talking about her family and her advocacy for children’s issues.
“Hillary Clinton talks about unity, about E Pluribus Unum, but her globalist agenda denies American citizens the protections to which they are all entitled – tearing us apart”. She promised to be a president for all people, whether you vote for her, or night.
Clinton called Thursday night a milestone for America in its quest for a more ideal union.
– When there are no ceilings, the sky’s the limit. I’m happy for boys and men, because when any barrier falls in America, it clears the way for everyone. “You’ll be writing books about this campaign”. “I am getting hit and they don’t mean it and there’s a lot of lies being told”, he said. Obama declared Clinton not only can defeat Trump’s “deeply pessimistic vision” but also realize the “promise of this great nation”. Nielsen measures 10 commercial broadcast and cable networks; PBS separately reported that Clinton drew 3.9 million Thursday, compared with 2.8 million for Trump last week.
“Your cause is our cause”, she said.
Monday night’s DNC speeches were seen by 26 million viewers across seven channels, versus 23 million for night one of the RNC. She said she wants to protect people “from being shot by someone who shouldn’t have a gun in the first place”.
