Trump said the emails, which showed DNC staffers behind the scenes supporting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, demonstrated that the primary elections were what he called “a fixed race”.

Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Tim Kaine all launched attacks against Donald Trump Wednesday morning – the same day all three are scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Convention. Americans have never, ever, ever, ever, ever let the country down.
“That’s the Hillary I know”.
“That’s not Donald Trump’s story”, Biden says to applause. It is the America that I know.
America is still a country of optimists, he said. We get frustrated with political gridlock, and worry about racial divisions; we are shocked and saddened by the madness of Orlando or Nice.
“We can not elect a man who exploits our fears of ISIS”. All of that is real. “Joe, thank you & Jill for all you’ve done for this country”. These are the people that are the heart and soul of this country.
“I had planned on running for president and life intervened”, the vice president told his local paper, the Delaware News Journal last week.
His comments sounded like what would have been his stump speech, vigorously defending the Obama-Biden record and sounding a note of optimism. That is who we are.
I know that about Hillary. “America is already strong”.
“I believe we need a president who is a problem-solver, not a bomb-thrower”, said Bloomberg. In fact, it doesn’t depend on any one person. And that, in the end, may be the biggest difference in this election – the meaning of our democracy.
Speaking to MSNBC, Biden criticized Trump for wanting to “carpet bomb” the extremist group, possibly killing civilians in the process. And that is another bet that Donald Trump will lose. That is the unbreakable spirit of the people of America. “We don’t look to be ruled”.
He said that will happen because the USA leads “not only by the example of our power but by the power of our example”. Other Republics know, that is not who we are. “That’s our birthright – the capacity to shape our own destiny”. Sanders’ graciousness appeared to help tamp down the anger and frustration voiced by his most ardent supporters, some of whom even walked out of the convention rather than be seen supporting his opponent.
Senior administration officials, however, said they were fairly sure about Russian involvement in the hacking – but that evidence tying them to WikiLeaks is less clear. “Donald Trump can not become our commander-in-chief”.
But somehow, he said, the party has failed to communicate to middle-class folks. They didn’t admire braggarts or bullies. Because being a teacher is not what they do, it is who they are. Kindness and courtesy. Humility; responsibility; helping each other out. Over the next eight years, Biden became a trusted adviser for the president and the two forged a sort of father-son bond. But these values that my grandparents taught me – they haven’t gone anywhere. This is a complicated and uncertain world we live in. “And we can’t afford to make that choice!” “And we own the finish line”. That’s why we can attract strivers and entrepreneurs from around the globe to build new factories and create new industries here. I promise you every place I go – I’ve now traveled over 1,200,000 miles. “I could see where a lot of our adversaries would think it’s better to have someone who doesn’t have any idea what they’re doing than have somebody as tough as Hillary”. “But it doesn’t keep me from wanting to keep on trying”. Just listen to me a second without booing or cheering. But he should bask in it. He did what Clinton always says she wants to do: all the good he could, by all the means he could, at all the times he could and in all the places he could.

“You can read about it, you can study it, but until you’ve sat at that desk, you don’t know what it’s like to manage a global crisis or send young people to war”, Obama said. “And I hope, sometimes, I picked you up, too”.
