“You felt secure, ” Dugan said when asked her reaction to the speech this morning. “When there are no ceilings, the sky’s the limit”.

Throughout the convention, both men and women praised Clinton for shattering the glass ceiling and paving the way for young women and girls around the country to see a woman potentially become president.
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 risky and volatile temperament. “More corruption by Hillary and her cronies”.
Trump, Clinton said, doesn’t have the temperament to be president-he can get thrown off-guard by the smallest things.
At the Democratic National Convention, as Clinton gave what’s been called the most important speech of her life, she aimed decidely pointed words at Trump.
“She covered every part of her vision from local and community action, and what we have to do door-to-door-to-door up to the state level, federal and global”, Birch said.
Later on, Clinton played off of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan.
“I know that at a time when so much seems to be pulling us apart, it can be hard to imagine how we’ll ever pull together again”, Clinton said to a rapt Democratic convention audience. Debbie Wasserman Shultz shortly resigned as the chair of the DNC and, not even a heartbeat later, Hillary Clinton brought the disgraced politician onto her team. “My primary mission as president will be to create more opportunity and more good jobs with rising wages right here in the United States, from my first day in office to my last, especially in places that for too long have been left out and left behind”. She said that she does not believe marriage should be between two people of the same sex.
How did her speech hold up on the truth-meter?
The speech capped a four-day nominating convention that opened in discord after a leak of hacked Democratic National Committee emails showed party officials favored Clinton over primary rival Bernie Sanders, a USA senator from Vermont.

“A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons,”she declared”. Before taking the stage, Clinton’s daughter Chelsea shared personal memories of her mother. “She spent the evening talking down to the American people she’s looked down on her whole life”, said Stephen Miller, senior policy adviser.
