Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton today mocked her Republican rival Donald Trump, saying his actions does not show his commitment to putting “America First” as his ties are made in China and photo frames in India. She described her mom as a diligent public servant who looks for solutions and dives into policy.
Obama stated that Clinton’s previous experience has prepared her for the position of president. 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.
According to the excerpts of the speech, Obama said the America he knows is full of courage, optimism, and ingenuity. “I think we are already there”, he added.
And, Clinton is someone who has worked in various positions, from her start as an attorney, to her time as a senator and Secretary of State.
Less than 100 years ago, she wouldn’t have been able to vote.
“Where does she get her grit and her grace?” said Streep, listing Clinton as part of a long line of “female path-breakers”. “And I know it from my own life”.
Clinton’s nomination came on the second day of the Democratic National Convention, where leaders sought to move past the drama of divisions between Clinton and Sanders supporters.
Mrs Clinton warning that Mr Trump’s words should “set off alarm bells for all of us” and accused him of forgetting people such as America’s troops, police firefighters and teachers.
“Now I know some of you are sitting at home thinking, well that all sounds pretty good”.
“Poor kids, you got a champion!”
Clinton said she would build an economy that gives jobs to everyone and not a few and a country where “love trumps hate”.
She said she was happy for boys and men, too, because when a barrier falls, it clears the way for all.
