Pledging to be a president for “all Americans”, the former secretary of state received thunderous cheers from thousands of delegates in the Democratic National Convention where she called for unity in a nation at a “state of reckoning”. “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man you can trust with nuclear weapons”, she said. After four days of Democrats-and some Republicans, too-extolling the historic nature of a woman receiving a major party nomination, Clinton was well into her acceptance speech before she acknowledged the milestone.

Another South Asian element in her speech was a tribute to Army Captain Humayun Khan, a 27-year-old Pakistani-American army man killed in 2004 in Iraq trying to save his soldiers from a auto bomb. “He wouldn’t know what the hell happened”, Trump said.
