“Hillary Clinton’s speech was an insulting collection of clichés and recycled rhetoric”, the Trump campaign’s message starts off.

She was obviously very happy about it.
Trump said in a press conference this week: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing”.
The policy aide, who frequently opens for Trump at campaign rallies, attacked Clinton’s “globalist agenda” while describing her address as “a speech delivered from a fantasy universe, not the reality we live in today”.
And immediately after Clinton’s speech Thursday, the Republican nominee slammed her for not using the term Islamic terrorism. “The family I’m from, well no one had their name on big buildings”, Clinton said in a reference to Trump.
CNN reported on Friday that Clinton’s acceptance speech was watched by roughly 28 million viewers, which is two million fewer than watched Trump’s acceptance speech in Cleveland one week ago.
Trump says, “Our way of life is under threat by Radical Islam and Hillary Clinton can not even bring herself to say the words”.
“The American economy has climbed back up the ladder to climb out of it, but we have a long way to go”, Kaine said. “Bonds of trust and respect are fraying”, said Clinton, a former secretary of state.
“We do not buy into that dark, divisive image that was presented at the Republican convention last week”, said Clinton, who is the first woman presidential candidate of a major political party.
American flags waved in the stands of the packed convention hall and the crowd broke into chants of “U-S-A!” drowning out scattered calls of “No more war”. In sharp contrast with the visible divisions and rancor in the Republican camp at the Republican Convention in OH a week earlier, Democrats succeeded in presenting an image of unity, despite differences which are too well known by now. To huge applause Pakistan-born Khizr Khan fiercely attacked Trump saying that if it were up to Trump, his son never would never have been American or served in the military. He has proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country and a wall along the border with Mexico to keep illegal immigrants out. De Tocqueville is credited with the phrase, “America is great because she is good”.
Former Reagan administration official Doug Elmets announced he was casting his first vote for a Democrat in November, and urged other Republicans who “believe loyalty to our country is more important than loyalty to party” to do the same.

“Please explain to me what part of America First leads him to make Trump ties in China, not Colorado”. Other portions of the speech were boiled down into easily digestible rhetorical bites, whether courting Bernie Sanders supporters (“Your cause is our cause”) or punctuating a series of policy positions with the line, “Join us”.
