She got a big cheer for calling out how “odd” Trump’s 78-minute July 12 RNC speech was.

They stopped in the state capital of Harrisburg before heading to the industrial cities of Pittsburgh and Youngstown, Ohio – places where she said people “are making things”. “So let’s keep going, until every one of the 161 million women and girls across America has the opportunity she deserves”.
“I know Hillary won’t relent until ISIL is destroyed”, Obama said, referring to the Islamic State terror group. Thank you all. I can not wait to join you in Philadelphia. Despite some ongoing resistance from Bernie backers she vowed to pinch some of his economic policies and also tackle issues like student debt which gained Sanders so much support. “It’s truly is up to us”.
In Trump’s view, Clinton failed to accurately express the looming dangers America faces and voters’ desire for a “LAW AND ORDER” president. She picked up the attack theme that has been at the heart of speeches this week from the likes of heavyweights VP Joe Biden and President Barack Obama.
“This November, I’m voting for a woman who is my role model, as a mother and as an advocate, a woman who has spent her entire life fighting for families and children”, she said.
“President Obama went through and talked about the experience in the White House and where the country was, and where we were able to take it”.
“We will not build a wall”.
As his wife Hillary Clinton was busy shattering the glass ceiling of United States party politics, former president Bill appeared to get some shut-eye during the final night of the Democratic National Convention. “We, we will not ban a religion, we will work with all Americans and our allies to fight and defeat terrorism”. “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons”.
She presented a sharply more upbeat view of the nation than her rival Trump offered when Republicans nominated him last week and even turned one of former United States president Ronald Reagan’s signature phrases against the NY real-estate developer. “You can borrow my copy!”
Trump refrained from embracing the same sentiment during the Republican convention, but he said Friday that he was starting to agree with it.
Trump was also not impressed by John Allen’s speech on Thursday night and said that retired four-star Marine Corps general failed at fighting ISIS.
Now that his term is winding down, with African-American voters facing a nonchoice and a nonstarter, it’s been hard for some to get excited about this presidential race.
