Some Bernie Sanders supporters tell WDRB News there are no walkouts planned for the third day of the Democratic National Convention. “I said, ‘I know most of the young Democrats our age who want to go into politics, they mean well and they speak well, but none of them are as good as you are at actually doing things to make positive changes in people’s lives.’ So I suggested she go home to IL or move to NY and look for a chance to run for office”.
“It’s not just a choice between parties or policies; the usual debates between left and right”, he said. Bloomberg has said he’s had a casual friendship with Trump and even appeared on Trump’s TV show, “The Apprentice”.
Trump replied to Obama on Twitter, writing: “Our country does not feel “great already” to the millions of wonderful people living in poverty, violence and despair”.
“Hillary opened my eyes to a whole new world of public service by private citizens”, he said.
The Democratic party is moving forward with Clinton as their nominee. Inside the Wells Fargo Center, unsurprisingly, Democratic delegates roared for the version presented by Obama in what was likely the last major speech of his presidency.
Still, the core of Clinton’s strategy is putting back together Obama’s winning White House coalition. “What an incredible honor you’ve given me”. “Let’s keep it going”.
The Chicago Tribune delivered the most obvious howler, positioning a thankful-looking Bill Clinton beneath the headline “Clinton claims nomination”.
In the end, Hillary Clinton herself may need to make the “two futures” argument that trusting in her is a vastly better bet than gambling the country’s future on an erratic and mendacious would-be strongman like Trump. “And the president believes, as he’s said, the stakes are high in this campaign”. Rewind his 12-minute speech Wednesday night.
His 12-minute speech was half anti-Trump and half pep rally for the middle class. But some think the deck was stacked against us – and I do think that. “That’s a bunch of malarkey”, Biden said.
In what might’ve been Biden’s swan song, Biden – or “middle-class Joe”, he called himself – made an argument that could penetrate Trump’s base of supporters in a way Clinton and Obama can’t.
“Biden just did what Obama and Clinton don’t do effectively.he evangelized American Exceptionalism”, tweeted Rob Stutzman, a California Republican strategist.
Tim Kaine says his one-time opposition to same-sex marriage changed because he realized that those trying to ban it in Virginia were trying to make it “a hostile place for people” he cares about. Kaine asked. And the crowd roared “No!”
“The Democrats had all the big names out tonight”. They said they were holding a peaceful protest to complain about being shut out by the Democratic Party.
“There’s absolutely no proof that Donald Trump is colluding with Russian intelligence in secret”. And he dropped a couple sharp lines as he made the broader case that Trump is unfit to lead the nation’s military. The mere fact that the country is considering electing Donald Trump – Obama’s opposite in so many ways – is a stark reminder that many Americans reject his approach.
His motion was greeted with chants of “Bernie!”
“It can be frustrating, this business of democracy”.
Trump, at his news conference, said Clinton has been “bought and sold 100 percent by special interests and lobbyists”.

“What I know about Hillary is how hard she worked”.
