The issue has flared up in recent days, in the wake of the hack of emails at the Democratic National Committee that the Obama administration said Wednesday was nearly certainly the work of Russian Federation.
Democrats wrote off his acceptance speech at the Republican convention last week as too long, too gloomy and too angry until they saw how he shot up in the polls straight after.
Why? Because Bloomberg tacitly acknowledged Donald Trump’s strengths by taking him seriously. Ray Jones II, a Pikeville Democrat and the Senate Minority Leader, wouldn’t say if he would vote for Clinton after his Democratic primary opponent accused him of supporting her. It truly is up to us. If Trump’s elected president, he said, “how much in debt would we be to other countries?” You’ve got to get in the arena with her, because democracy isn’t a spectator sport.
It was a bold move on Clinton’s part, not least because there are a lot of voters who don’t feel especially optimistic right at this moment for all the reasons Hillary laid out in her speech: stuck wages, limited mobility, and exclusion from economic growth. “Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis”, she said.
It will be a hard and high-stakes task for the guarded Clinton, 68, known to be a more effective politician in small gatherings than on big stages.

Brown described being painstakingly background-checked, effectively deposed by a team of lawyers and interviewed by Clinton for 90 minutes at her home in northwest Washington.
“Think about that”, said Biden, his voice growing angrier.
“Tonight, I ask you to do for Hillary Clinton what you did for me”, the president said. “You know she’s tough”.
The quote has been pulled from a longer statement in which Clinton talked about the need to help coal workers as the country transitions to alternative energy sources. After two nights of speeches meant to unify the party and show a more personal and warmer side of Clinton, the third night featured a sharp turn to attacking Trump.
