Regardless of the underwhelming ratings seen during the early portions of the Republican National Convention, that final speech from Trump appears to have drawn more Americans to their television sets than Clinton was able to garner a week later.
“I can’t think of an election that is more important, certainly in my lifetime”, Clinton told supporters at the rally in Philadelphia. “But there’s so much wrong, and it’s so unsavoury, we just need to make ourselves heard saying so – that we don’t like it and we want to speak up about it”. “Your cause is our cause”.
Two women waiting in the seemingly endless line snaking outside the event center at University of Colorado Colorado Springs didn’t want to give their names because they hold high profile positions in a well-known organization in town.
Anthony said Trump “managed to aim directly at his own foot and fire away” when he asked Russian Federation, which is suspected of orchestrating the DNC email leak, to find Clinton’s deleted emails. The 2016 election is trending toward Donald Trump.
Each of the other pieces of the coalition Clinton hopes to build got a voice at the convention.
Trump counted 22 times he was mentioned in Clinton’s “very long and very boring speech”. “We must not and we could not stand on the sidelines”, Allen said.
“Really, we beat her by a lot”. The father of Captain Humayun Khan, a decorated Muslim-American soldier killed in Iraq, had strong words for Donald Trump.
He said that there are similarities in various popular movements demanding a more empowering form of democracy that have sprung up around the globe in recent years.
He and others complained of hostile reactions from Clinton supporters, and of low-grade bullying tactics like crowding Sanders supporters out of seats on the floor, and screening dissenting signs from the view of TV cameras.
A coworker a few cubicles away assures me that there’s nothing worse than leveling up your Eevee to a 1019 Vaporeon, then heading over to the Purdue campus to try to take down a gym only to find that there is a level 3000+ Snorlax.
Democrat Hillary Clinton attracted 29.8 million viewers for the convention finale on Thursday, Nielsen ratings numbers show.
Clinton must also focus her messaging, analysts say. In her speech accepting the party’s nomination, Clinton appealed broadly to both the progressive wing of her party as well as to Republicans and independents. “Standing here as my mother’s daughter, and my daughter’s mother, I’m so happy this day has come”.
Dressed in a white suit as a nod to both Geraldine Ferraro (the first woman nominated as vice president) and the suffragettes who fought for a woman’s right to vote, Clinton gave one of the best speeches of her career, lighting up during the wonky parts where she got to talk actual policy and goals. Clinton needs to deliver her proposal to do more than tweak around the edges on healthcare, and college affordability. Nor did he go after the former mayor’s business record, which may not be too much of a surprise, even if you take Trump’s word that he is actually worth the $10 billion he claims, and many experts do not, Bloomberg’s more than $40 billion fortune makes Trump look like a piker. That’s the future we’re working toward. Wasserman-Shultz on Thursday further raised eyebrows by declaring that she had “taken one for the team”. It was, she said, happy news “for grandmothers and little girls and everyone in between”. Clinton pitches her steadiness and depth of experience from eight years in the Senate and four years as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state.
At the Republican convention last week, the 70-year-old Trump doubled down on controversial plans to clamp down on crime and on immigration from countries – including France – that he deems “compromised” by terror attacks.
Again and again, she came back to Trump’s shortcomings and hypocrisies.
