In a speech that resonated with the audience, the former secretary of state and first lady rebutted numerous messages delivered by the Republican’s presidential nominee Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this time last week.

In the biggest speech of her more than 25-year-old career in the public eye, Clinton, 68, cast herself as a steady leader at a “moment of reckoning” for the country, and contrasted her character with what she described as Trump’s unsafe and volatile temperament.
She also drew a sharp contrast with her election rival Donald Trump, calling the Republican supremely unqualified for the White House.
On Friday, while campaigning in Colorado, Trump, in his first appearance after Hillary Clinton’s speech on the final night of the Democratic National Convention, responded to chants of “lock her up” by saying, “I’ve been saying let’s just beat her on November 8th. We will not build a wall-instead, we will build an economy where everyone who wants a good job can get one”, Hillary said.
Mrs Clinton needs to compete in those states, which is why she is also talking about the problems with trade deals like the TPP and even the NAFTA treaty signed by her husband.
Ladies and gentlemen, we all understand what it will mean for our daughters and granddaughters, when Hillary Clinton walks into the Oval Office as President of the United States of America. “Hillary Clinton’s speech was an insulting collection of clichés and recycled rhetoric”.
“I thought it was very poignant that the president continued to talk about (how) we can not just vote at the presidential level”. “And we’ll build a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants who are already contributing to our economy!” “To date, they have found no evidence that our internal systems have been compromised”, Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill said. But right now, an terrible lot of people feel there is less and less respect for the work they do.
Clinton went through a list of ideals, which could garner support from both sides of the aisle, and then made a simple proposition: If you agree with these things, I’m your candidate.
Clinton said she believes Americans are poised to fight for prosperity and justice for all citizens and the estimated 11 million undocumented individuals.
“A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons”, she said.
“I really loved Chelsea’s”, said Florida delegate Adriana Gonzalez, immediately after the speech ended Thursday night.
“It’s not just a detail if it’s your kid, if it’s your family”, she said. Donald Trump’s not offering real change; he’s offering empty promises.
“Remember this, ” he said, “Trump is going to be no more Mr”. She always wants to move the ball forward.

She directly linked her candidacy to the presidency of Obama, whom she said does not get almost enough credit for “saving us from the worst recession since the Great Depression”.
