Clinton also went after Trump for what she sees as a message of division and fear. Clinton knows that the road to the White House must include independents and Republicans, and that Donald Trump’s candidacy has opened that possibility.

“This e-mail gate [sic] has exploded many myths of American democracy”. And most of Americans say they do not trust her. So a tear-down-and-rebuild approach makes sense, but will take time.
“I’m going to talk as her daughter”, she told NBC’s Matt Lauer in an interview that aired Thursday. “They don’t tell you why”. Chelsea Clinton, who has been in the public eye since her childhood in the White House, took a low profile after her father left office in 2001. Of course the party out of power is going to have a dim view of the nation’s recent trajectory.
Trump has campaigned on a promise to “Make America Great Again, ‘ and on Wednesday night doubled down on his message that the country has much work to do to get there: “Our country does not feel ‘great already” to the millions of wonderful people living in poverty, violence and despair”, he wrote on Twitter. “I just hope that people understand even a little more when I’m done than when I started about why I love her so much and admire her so much”. A CBS poll released the same day got the same results on the trustworthy question. Her speech was an important chance to speak to liberals, especially, and convince them she is not a cold, calculating politician devoid of principles and beholden to special interests. She promised to work with allies to combat terrorism, and said Trump’s criticism of existing military alliances would undermine global cooperation. Some of the polls released in the coming weeks should reveal whether she made any headway.
“When there are no ceilings, the sky’s the limit”, she said for her landmark speech in Philadelphia. Whatever compunctions she had about emphasizing her gender are gone now.
Declaring that the USA is at a “moment of reckoning”, Hillary Clinton today attacked her Republican rival Donald Trump for his “bigotry and bombast” while pitching herself to be a steady leader, as she scripted history by becoming the first woman presidential nominee.
Hillary Clinton had the privilege Thursday night of doing something no other woman has ever done: accept a major party’s nomination for president. Similarly, she struggles to win over male voters from Trump. Clinton is not the most inspiring candidate. “Most of all, don’t believe anyone who says: “I alone can fix it.’ Those were actually Donald Trump’s words in Cleveland”.
The former first lady, NY senator and secretary of state has been the frequent Republican target during her more than three decades in national politics, most recently for her use of a private email server for government business while at the State Department. “Yeah”, said Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.
“You didn’t hear any of this from Donald Trump at his convention did you?”
Clinton is the first woman nominee of a major party.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Hillary Clinton capped a four-day convention celebration with a plea for national unity and tolerance. Sanders drew roughly 8,000 to the Florida State Fair Grounds in March. Clinton will need all the help she can get. The convention demonstrated she should have plenty. And that means some Sanders supporters are experiencing the excitement, if only secondhand. He praised her in a prime-time speech and even had the convention rules waived so he could give her his delegates, a symbolic gesture that allowed her to be nominated by unanimous consent. Some of the loudest disruptions from Sanders supporters died down by the end of the convention, but there were sporadic incidents right up to the end, with a handful of protesters shouting from the rafters as Clinton spoke Thursday. The fact remains that many younger voters and extremely liberal voters do not particularly like Clinton. “I will gladly lend you my copy”.
She also thanked Bernie Sanders and said to his supporters that they have been heard and that their cause is our cause. She also learned early when she worked to gain accessibility to school for disabled children that, “Simply caring is not enough to drive real progress, you have to change hearts and laws”. Most of the liberal base eventually will come around.
