She reached out to her top rival in the primaries, Sen.

She thanked all of the people who spoke at the convention and said, “I’ve met so many people who motivate me to keep fighting for change”.
She has an unlikeable factor that is nearly as high as Trump, and doesn’t appear to be making much headway to turn that around.
In the interview, Chelsea said she does not expect Ivanka “to always have to defend her father”.
The email, of course, could just be part of a run-of-the-mill fundraising effort. “Bonds of trust and respect are fraying”, Clinton said. “Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obama’s speech as examples”.
“Hillary is seen as a cold fish who is calculating and not of the highest integrity”, says political consultant Gary Nordlinger.
Throughout the day, various Bernie Sanders said they were planning to walk out of the Democratic National Convention, and many more wore fluorescent-colored “Enough is Enough” Sanders t-shirts.
“Producing this film was a major highlight of my career, and I am incredibly honored that the campaign entrusted us with the responsibility”.
She said that she, like many, thought “he couldn’t possibly mean all the disgusting things he says” and that “someone who wants to lead our nation could say those things, could be like that”.
Donald Trump was squarely in her sights as Ms Clinton stated: “Don’t believe anyone who says I alone can fix it”.
“She is incredibly smart”.
They made the case with voices that spanned the spectrum from elected officials, Americans with disabilities who Trump mocked earlier this year, families of fallen soldiers and even Republicans who said Trump is an unacceptable nominee. “My grandmother’s mantra that life’s not about what happens to you, it’s about what you do with what happens to you – the belief that those of us that have been blessed have a responsibility to expand the circle of blessing is another of my grandmother’s sort of adages”.
Trump’s campaign suggests it will make a play for MI, but his convention lineup had a unusual way of showing it: Only one MI speaker, state Attorney General Bill Schuette, got a speaking slot.
Kaine, in introducing Clinton, told the wildly friendly crowd, “weren’t you proud” about how “optimistic” and “upbeat” the Democrat convention was, a contrast to the Republican convention in Cleveland that was a journey “through Donald Trump’s mind, and that is a very frightening place”.
“America is stronger because of President Obama’ leadership”, Clinton said. The prior Morning Consult poll showed her trailing Trump by eight percentage points among men. “And when he explodes, he shows an emotion that most people don’t associate with what we want in a president”. Both are essential to Clinton’s fate in November, and while it is possible to forge a common appeal to the white working-class and left-leaning Democrats in the anti-trade, raise-the-minimum-wage message, these remain two distinct constituencies.
“She seems a bit distant, disconnected”.
“America is once again at a moment of reckoning”, Clinton said.
“Keep going the way you are”, she said.

According to Nielsen, which tracks television viewership, the first night of the Democratic convention had 26 million viewers, while the first night of the Republican convention drew 23.4 million. “So if [Democrats] lose, it will be because their people did not come out and vote, not because a majority of Americans who are eligible to vote want to vote for Donald Trump”.
