“But my mom, she was unbelievable”, Chelsea added.

Clinton and Trump are already considered the two most disliked candidates in history. Three of Donald Trump’s children spoke at the Republican convention, including his introduction by Ivanka, and as everyone acknowledged, they performed magnificently.
“Marc and I can’t quite believe it, but our daughter Charlotte is almost two years old”. Although, it must be said, that Hillary, unlike her opponent, managed to resist the impulse to grope her daughter’s ass in front of millions of people, just to drive home the point that she’s really an object placed on Earth for his judgment and pleasure. By the time Hillary got to bashing Trump, she had pretty much lost the attention of those watching in our kitchen. I steeled myself to watch Hillary’s acceptance speech, beginning with the introduction by her daughter Chelsea. In an interview for Glamour magazine at the DNC, Chelsea said she’s still pumping breast milk for the new baby.
When asked on the Today show if the two were still good friends, the Clintons’ only child answered “absolutely”.
When Ivanka said, “Real change, the kind we have not seen in decades, is only going to come from outside the system”, it was thoroughly believable. “I’m going to let her life unfold at her pace”.
Chelsea explained onstage that Goodnight Moon was a book her mother read to her as a child. She reflected on the many things her mother taught her.
Clinton calmly ripped into the Republican National Convention, saying she found most offensive the party’s “open embrace of conversion therapy” – a controversial treatment program meant to change a person’s sexuality. “Here’s how. It’s because she never ever forgets who she’s fighting for”.
She is a key asset to her mother’s campaign, with a unique ability to make a personal pitch, softening and humanizing Hillary Clinton’s image to that of a mother and grandmother.
Hillary Clinton took the stage minutes later to become the first woman to accept the presidential nomination of a major US party.
As for how her dad is feeling before Hillary accepts the nomination tonight, Chelsea shared, “He’s so excited”. After many years of practice, the best style she can achieve is robotic. Hillary may yet win the presidency, but if she does, it won’t be because she has inspired anyone on the stump.

For the most part, the media abided by a ban on writing about her awkward years, as it does for other White House children. She has fully embraced being a Clinton and is now deliberately, willfully, on the road to greatness, “Vanity Fair wrote in a profile past year”. Reportedly earning an initial annual salary of $600,000, she contributed to the now-defunct “Rock Center with Brian Williams” and NBC Nightly News. She returned to school at Columbia University, where she got a Masters of Public Health. She worked mostly on feature stories and the network’s “Making a Difference” series. Now she has moved into the family business, working at the Clinton Global Initiative.
