Clinton’s final day of the Democratic National Convention featured speeches from a former member of President Ronald Reagan’s administration and a U.S. Chamber of Commerce official who is heading a GOP group supporting Clinton, part of an expanded outreach to Republican voters and donors.

“We know that Russian intelligence services hacked into the DNC and we know that they arranged for a lot of those emails to be released and we know that Donald Trump has shown a very troubling willingness to back up Putin, to support Putin”, Clinton said in an interview with “Fox News Sunday”. In an earlier statement, he accused Democrats of living in a “fantasy world”, ignoring economic and security troubles as well as Clinton’s controversial email use at the State Department.
“She also promised a comprehensive immigration reform, one of the unfulfilled agendas of the outgoing president Barack Obama”.
“Her refusal to even say the words “Radical Islam”, or to mention her disaster in Libya, or her corrupt email scheme, all show how little she cares about the safety of the American people”. In fact, viewership for the Democrats’ first night slightly exceeded Thursday night’s count.
With chants of “Hell no DNC, we won’t vote for Hillary” and “Lock her up”, the protesters made it clear they would not be casting their votes for Hillary Clinton. “You might have noticed, I love talking about mine”. Ms Clinton says America is stronger together, Mr Miller noted.
Clinton will nearly certainly get a bump in the polls because of the highly polished Democratic Convention. With Sanders watching from the arena, Clinton told his supporters, “I’ve heard you”. If it had been a Republican woman accepting a presidential nomination, it would have been just as historic.
Hillary Clinton has cast herself as a unifier for divided times, an experienced leader steeled for a volatile world – and aggressively challenged Donald Trump’s ability to do the same.
Speaker after speaker cast Trump as intolerant, inexperienced and unsafe, including the Pakistan-born immigrant father of a Muslim-American soldier killed in Iraq, who held up a copy of the Constitution and insisted that Trump “has sacrificed nothing”.
This time, she went after his propensity to refuse to pay his bills and for exporting Trump-label merchandise to other countries.
“Bernie, your campaign inspired millions of Americans…”
Ever the TV critic, Trump knows the Democratic Convention ratings have been higher than his, but gave his convention higher style points.
On the last day of its convention, the Democratic Party had more Ohioans speak than the Republican National Convention, which was held in Cleveland, had during the entire convention.

On the convention’s closing night, Clinton sought to reach beyond the Democratic base, particularly to moderate Republicans unnerved by Trump.
