Because of my success in the private sector, I had a chance to run America’s largest city for 12 years, governing in the wake of its greatest tragedy.

After Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic nomination for president Thursday night, an advisor for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump slammed the former secretary of state’s speech as “an insulting collection of cliches and recycled rhetoric”.
Trump proposed a “different vision” for the United States, “one where we can break up Washington’s rigged system, and empower all Americans to achieve their dreams”. She aggressively challenged Republican Donald Trump’s ability to do the same. They are supplied by IMAX Corporation in Tulsa, Oklahoma state, which says on its website that it sources products from India and China.
The stakes are high: A loss to Trump would not only end Clinton’s political career, it could be a devastating coda to her and her husband’s political legacy and leave the Democratic Party weaker than it has been in a generation. “Thank you and may God bless you and the United States of America”. “It was so exciting but I have to tell you it was also kind of overwhelming”. If they are successful, we should see it reflected in our next poll that more people – women in particular – are taking pride and seeing hope in Clinton’s historic campaign. “Like many of my fellow millennials I do not consider myself categorically Republican or Democrat more than party affiliation I vote for what I believe is right for my family and for my country”. Chris Murphy said, “Just remember how fantastic it is for a presidential candidate to openly talk about the 2 Amendment as part of a general election strategy”.
On the convention’s closing night, Khizr Khan, an American Muslim whose son was killed in military service, emotionally implored voters to stop Trump, who has called for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration.
Clinton questioned whether Trump has the temperament to be commander-in-chief, saying he “loses his cool at the slightest provocation”.
But those complaining about Sanders supporters and expressing fears of Clinton losing to Trump are missing the point, said Natalie Vowell, a white Sanders delegate from Missouri. “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons”, she said. They include support for companies sharing more profits with workers and opposition to what she calls “unfair trade deals”. “She said that what anxious President Kennedy during that very unsafe time”, Clinton said, “was that a war might be started, not by big men with self-control and restraint, but by little men – the ones moved by fear and pride”.
In an effort to reach out to GOP voters who are not thrilled with Trump, former Reagan administration official Doug Elmets and the co-founder of a Republican Women for Clinton group, Jennifer Lim, will speak. “When any barrier falls in America, for anyone, it clears the way for everyone”, said Clinton.
Clinton walked on stage on the last night of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia to a thunderous ovation. “I have a daughter and two granddaughters: for them to know that being president is not something only men do”.
In the hours leading up to Clinton’s appearance, the crowd at the Wells Fargo Center included supporters of Vermont Sen. She acknowledged his inspiring campaign and, more significantly, she brought up the issues he’s championed: “I want you to know, I’ve heard you”.
Hillary Clinton prepared Thursday to formally accept the Democratic Party’s nomination for president and deliver a speech that was expected to emphasize themes of inclusion and opportunity and to make a deeply personal pitch for the presidency. “We wrote it together – now let’s go out there and make it happen together”. “She’s ready because she knows in America we are stronger when we are together”. The same goes for other Trump products, such as furniture and picture frames, Clinton said.

Obama said he noticed Clinton’s leadership qualities and hard work during the 2008 presidential campaign when they both fought for the Democratic nomination.
