“I’m ready to pass the baton and do my part as a private citizen, so this year in this election, I’m asking you to join me to reject cynicism and reject fear and to summon what is best in us to elect Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States and show the world we still believe in the promise of this great nation”, Obama offered at the end of the speech. “She’s been caricatured by the right and by some folks on the left; accused of everything you can imagine – and some things you can’t”. “I thought it would be cool to see a whole sea of Bernie supporters”.

She said: “It comes down to what Donald Trump doesn’t get, that America is great because America is good”. “Hillary Clinton knows that this moment is not just about one woman’s achievement”.
Trump, who has never held public office, offered his critics fresh lines of attack on Wednesday, urging Russian Federation to find and release tens of thousands of emails that Clinton did not hand over to USA officials as part of a probe into her use of a private email system while she was secretary of state.
