Bill Clinton addresses Democratic convention, calls Hillary “change maker”

“We’re trying to get the attention of the leadership of the (Democratic National Committee) that this is not OK, this is not just going to blow over without being taken more seriously”. Several of the latter noted how The Journal had actually used shots of the Trump children on page 1, not their dad, a week earlier when he was nominated at the Republican National Convention.

He alluded to Mrs Clinton’s election rival, although not by name, by pointing to some of Mr Trump’s more controversial policy positions, including his call to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

In a speech to his delegates on Monday afternoon, Senator Sanders did not mention the Wiki leaks email controversy directly, but did express satisfaction at the resignation of DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, to cheers from the crowd.

They named their second daughter Amelia Earhart Mason.

“But it’s an understandable distraction”, said Miner, who said she was disturbed by reports that DNC staffers tried to make an issue of Sander’s religion was a wedge issue. “It’s the most awesome thing”.

Organizers have not tested varieties to discern the smelliest option, but Honkala says baked beans likely will be preferred and paired with hot dogs at a feeding location in a “Clintonville” camp in northern Philadelphia.

Trump told The New York Times last week that he would decide whether to protect America’s North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies against Russian aggression based on whether those countries “have fulfilled their obligations to us”, hinting that he might pivot away from the decades-old pact.
