“Don’t let anyone tell you we don’t have what it takes”.

Clinton began articulating her education policy ideas at union conventions this month and Republican leaders championed school choice at their national convention last week.
Ahead of the Clinton speeches, the conference saw a series of speeches from ordinary supporters, with Democrats – many of whom supported rival candidate Bernie Sanders – urged to set aside differences.
Clinton will face pressure to be many things to many people, all while finding a way to acknowledge her trust issues with voters – and her place in USA history as the first woman to lead a Democratic or Republican presidential ticket.
Much of Clinton’s speech was targeted at Trump, while drawing contrasts with approach of her own party.
In a public life that’s spanned almost 50 years, this was the most important speech Clinton has ever given, as she officially became the first woman to accept the presidential nomination of a major USA political party. Chelsea Clinton is no stranger to campaigning.
Clinton evoked her hawkish side Thursday night, with vows of “defeating ISIS” and allusions to U.S.
Hillary Clinton has accepted the Democratic US presidential nomination with “humility, determination and boundless confidence in America’s promise”. But unlike Obama, she will need to provide specific reasons why Sanders backers should get behind her campaign.
“Bernie Sanders and I will work together to make college tuition-free for the middle class and debt-free for all”, Clinton said.
Presidential nominees can often expect an immediate rise in the polls, called a post-convention bounce, when the acceptance speeches, balloons, and parade of personalities are still fresh in voters’ minds.
“It’s a guiding principle for the country we’ve always been and the future we’re going to build”, she said, some 20 years after authoring a book making the same case titled: “It Takes A Village”.
According to CNN, the DNC’s biggest night was Monday, when it racked up 26 million viewers. “I will be a President for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents”. They are supplied by IMAX Corporation in Tulsa, Oklahoma state, which says on its website that it sources products from India and China.
One of the products she cited were Trump picture frames made in India.
When he won he rewarded her with a top job: secretary of state.

Very average! Moments later, Trump reiterated his view that Clinton’s speech was solidly mediocre.
