Donald Trump broke out some of his greatest hits on Friday to attack Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech before the Democratic National Convention on Thursday.

“[A president] for the struggling, the striving and the successful”.
“We will not build a wall”, Clinton said. “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons”.
The two women said the competing sides had been largely cordial to one another ahead of Clinton’s speech Thursday night.
Clinton, who is vying to be the first woman elected U.S. president, called her nomination “a milestone” and said she was happy for grandmothers and little girls and “everyone in between”.
And unlike the Republican convention, convention-goers in Philadelphia composed what former NY mayor David Dinkins once called his city – a “gorgeous mosaic”, reflecting not so much the country’s diversity, but, rather its reality in 2016, which is only going to get “realer” over the coming decades.
While Clinton must play to the party’s base – and seek to soothe bruised Bernie Sanders supporters, some of whom wore fluorescent green shirts Thursday inside the arena as a subtle form of protest – a key mission is to appeal to crossover voters and independents wary of Trump.
The North Carolina delegation contains 49 delegates who voted for Sen.
“We are clear-eyed about what our country is up against”.
One source of that distrust is her use of a private email system during her time as secretary state, which was the subject of a congressional investigation and a probe by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “He’s forgetting every last one of us…we say, we’ll fix it together”. Let me ask you: Have you even read the United States Constitution?
“What’s the difference in what I told you and what they said?”
“The lesson she passed onto me years later stuck with me: no one gets through life alone, we have to look out for each other and lift each other up”, she said.
While some had speculated that Sanders supporters would fall in line after his endorsement of Clinton, it appears that this consolidation has yet to gain any momentum.
Ms. Clinton, over the course of her professional career, has been defined, for good or for ill – mostly ill – by just about everyone else anyway.
The tweets came as Clinton launched a pointed attack on Trump, questioning his fitness for office and questioning his temperament – both on and offline.
“No matter how daunting the odds, no matter how much people try to knock her down, she never, ever quits”. “He wouldn’t know what the hell happened”, Trump said.
“I will carry all of your voices and stories with me to the White House”, she said.
Chambers acknowledged that the early uproar over published emails showing that top party officials had long preferred Clinton over Sanders “could have ruined this convention” had Debbie Wasserman Schultz not resigned as chair of the Democratic National Committee. Making the election about Trump doesn’t seem like the worst campaign strategy for a number of reasons, especially because Trump is such a volatile candidate.

– The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. “I certainly know that with her as our commander-in-chief, our foreign relations will not be reduced to a business transaction, I also know that our armed forces will not become an instrument of torture”, said Mr Allen.
