Although Clinton officially clinched the Democratic Party nomination with a roll call of states’ votes two days earlier, some supporters of her formal rival, Sen. “I knew Ronald Reagan, I worked for Ronald Reagan”, he said. So let me tell you.

Twenty years ago, Clinton recalled the book she wrote, It Takes a Village, about all the resources in addition to the nuclear family that it takes to successfully raise children.
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.
Ms. Stein aggressively wooed Sanders supporters during the convention, and many pro-Sanders demonstrators outside the convention and delegates inside the Wells Fargo Arena said they will vote for Ms. Stein in November.
Clinton and her convention had their share of detractors too – China’s Global Times said US democracy “myths” had been “ruined” by the Wikileaks release of Democratic National Committee emails on Monday, which showed alleged intervention in the Democratic primary process.
Sanders supporters on Thursday wore fluorescent green T-shirts that said “Enough is Enough”. And to all of your supporters here and around the country: I want you to know, I’ve heard you.

“I believe that climate change is real and that we can save our planet while creating millions of good-paying clean energy jobs”, she said.
Meanwhile Joe Biden’s speech on Wednesday night, in which he brutally slammed Trump’s compassion for the USA middle class a “malarkey”, sent searches for the word “malarkey” soaring more than 19,000% on Google.
Long a lightning rod on the right, Hillary Clinton is making a targeted appeal to Republicans who challenge Donald Trump’s claim to the conservative mantle and fear his possible presidency. “Powerful forces are threatening to pull us apart”.
Trump’s numbers are also noteworthy considering the chaos and controversy that defined the Republican convention. They both garner high “unpopularity” ratings.
Sanders endorsed Clinton during his speech Monday, but a few of his delegates taped their mouths shut in a nod to what they believed was unfair treatment of their campaign by the Democratic National Committee.
“Hillary Clinton’s speech was an insulting collection of clichés and recycled rhetoric. She spent the evening talking down to the American people she’s looked down on her whole life”, said Stephen Miller, senior policy adviser. Instead we will build an economy where everyone who wants a job can get one. He has proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country and a wall along the border with Mexico to keep illegal immigrants out.
But Trump’s 4.6-point jump in one week remains noteworthy.
