Her past rival and former boss, he delivered what amounted to an enthusiastic recommendation for her job promotion. Americans don’t say: “I alone can fix it”. “But Hillary’s been in the room, She’s been part of those decisions….” Even in the midst of crisis, she listens to people, and she keeps her cool; she treats everybody with respect. “I know this because I served with her”, John Allen, who was commander in Afghanistan, said.

“That is the Hillary I know”. That’s the Hillary I’ve come to admire.
While most convention speakers focused on a bright future under a Clinton presidency, many carried the theme of attacking Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his portrayal of America.
An email hack on the Democratic National Committee before the convention showed that party officials showed favour to Mrs Clinton and tried to undermine Mr Sanders’ campaign, further painting Mrs Clinton as an insider politician. He is tying her to every stumble and setback in the Obama administration, from the ambush of police officers in Dallas to the rise of the Islamic State.
Trump said Wednesday that he has no ties to Russian Federation whatsoever, but that hasn’t stopped Democratic donors in Philadelphia from saying that in the absence of Trump’s tax returns, voters are left to wonder whether there are undisclosed financial ties between Trump and foreign entities. Her husband labored mightily on Tuesday night to describe her as a “change-maker”.

They pointed at one another, hugged, and raised their hands in a victory salute. It will be an extraordinarily hard campaign, one of the nastiest ever.
As of July 29, the last day of convention, Clinton’s chances to win Florida is 49.3 percent, Iowa is 50.9 percent, North Carolina is 41 percent, OH is 49 percent and Pennsylvania is 62.6 percent. She embraced the historic nature of her candidacy, telling the crowd: “Nobody who looked like me was thought to be possible to run for president”. “It consolidates the gain that he’s made”.
