Neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump have spent much time discussing public K-12 education issues during the primary season. Typically, the GOP nominee approaches the task of commenting on a political rival’s oratory like a middle-school bully approaches the task of commenting on the teacher’s pet’s new braces.

Some Democrats are still anxious that Donald Trump might win, given the level of volatility this election cycle, how Trump deflects media attacks like Teflon, and the high level of Democratic discontent within their own ranks over Clinton’s nomination. “I’ve seen her holding the hands of mothers anxious about how to feed their kids, how they’ll get them the health care they need”.
Clinton was clearly emotional as she walked on stage, and said: “I’m so happy this day has come”.
She mocked that Trump’s speech didn’t include real solutions that would help everyday Americans.
Trump’s twitter even posted a new campaign ad in response to Clinton’s speech. “We will rise to the challenge, like we always do”, she said.

“When there are no ceilings, the sky’s the limit”, Clinton said Thursday at the Democratic National Convention in accepting the historic nomination.
“Look, I know people are angry or frustrated”, Clinton said shortly after someone shouted at the small event.
“I just want people as we go into this election to be fair”. And it also wasn’t us, or I, but “we, we, we”.
DW’s Richard Walker had noticed earlier there were plenty of Bernie Sanders supporters in the room, eager to make a statement. “Millions of Democrats will join our movement, because we are going to fix the system so it works fairly, and justly, for each and every American”. “Actually, some of the folks I defeated they probably would say, ‘Boy, he was not very nice'”.

“He’s taken the Republican Party a long way, from Morning in America to Midnight in America”, she said with a nod to the Reagan campaign slogan of 1984 as chants of “Hillary, Hillary” broke out repeatedly throughout her primetime speech.
