Hillary Clinton is set to accept the Democratic presidential nomination at her party’s convention in Philadelphia, the first woman to do so in United States history.
He acknowledged that Clinton, who will be introduced by daughter Chelsea, also knows “she needs to earn the voters’ trust”.
Both have seen how the relentless oppositionism of the Republican Party led inexorably to Trump, the most risky and irresponsible nominee any major political party has ever put forward.
– United States needs a leader who’ll work with allies to keep America safe.
Still, Clinton, who isn’t known for her oratory, will aim to move others like him.
“In the Democrats’ fantasy world, there is no problem with Hillary Clinton maintaining an illegal, exposed server full of classified information that could have been hacked by any foreign enemy, and in which Hillary Clinton risked prison time to delete 33,000 emails that were simply about yoga and wedding planning”, he said in a statement released on his official Facebook page. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Sen.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign is offering a preview of her acceptance speech at the Democratic convention, where she’ll say “America is once again at a moment of reckoning”. Tim Kaine, will be watching from the VIP box, as well as Chelsea Clinton, her husband Marc Mezvinsky, Kaine’s wife, Anne Holton, Hillary Clinton’s brothers, as well as Kaine’s parents and siblings.
“I’m not there yet”, said Christopher Geiger, 34, a Sanders delegate from Holland. Her father Vernon was also a Representative, the seat she holds now was once held by both her mother and her father.
Leesha Fagan of Grand Rapids said it was “beautiful” to see Sanders speak Thursday morning. “I didn’t put my life on the line to defend our democracy so you could invite Russian Federation to interfere with it”, said Duckworth, who is now running for a Senate seat.

But another Sanders delegate, Ian Robinson of Ann Arbor, said “a vast majority” of the Sanders delegates understand the importance of supporting Clinton in the fall.
Sanders outlined how his campaign helped pushed the Democratic Party to the left. Voters more generally have expressed mistrust of Clinton over the controversies that have dogged her career in public life, most recently the investigation into her use of a private e-mail system while she served as secretary of state during President Barack Obama’s first term.
She spoke about family and children, coming just off the publication of her book, It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us.

Now they vote Democratic, but they like to say they’re independents.
MI delegation breakfasts this week had been marked by a series of interruptions from Sanders faithful. Delivering a passionate case for his onetime rival, Obama declared Clinton not only can defeat the “deeply pessimistic vision” of Republican Donald Trump but also realize the “promise of this great nation”. “He came very close to the presidency, and now the political revolution continues”.
