“And if that’s going to mean that we’re going to lose some Republican votes, so be it”, Giuliani said. You don’t scare me. That group of voters has eluded Clinton and was perhaps a hard sell after a Democratic convention that heavily celebrated racial and gender diversity. I watched Hillary Clinton.

On the convention’s closing night, Clinton sought to reach beyond the Democratic base, particularly to moderate Republicans unnerved by Trump.
On her bus tour, she is accompanied by her husband, her running mate Virginia Senator Tim Kaine and his wife Anne.
Their goal is to turn out the coalition of minority, women and young voters that twice elected Barack Obama while offsetting expected losses among the white men drawn to Mr Trump’s message.
But the Democrats’ gathering in Philadelphia turned out to be higher-rated than the Republican convention in Cleveland through Wednesday.
“He’s offering empty promises”.
In an hour-long primetime address, she laid out plans to boost the USA economy, stressing that “my primary mission as president will be to create more opportunity and more good jobs with rising wages”. “But the first three nights of the Democratic convention out-rated the Republican convention, so Clinton had momentum going into Thursday night”. It slams Clinton for not mentioning the words, “radical Islam”, “her disaster in Libya” or the investigation of Clinton’s private email server.
She acknowledged some people still do not know her well.
“I’m starting to agree with you”, the 70-year-old told supporters chanting “lock her up, lock her up” in Colorado Springs.
It re-introduced her as a lover of country and its values while at the same time framing the election as not only a choice between her and Trump, but voting for or against America.
Clinton took the stage to roaring applause from flag-waving delegates on the final night of the Democratic convention, relishing her nomination as the first woman to lead a major US political party.
“We beat her by millions on television”.
“It’s true… I sweat the details of policy (…) Because it’s not just a detail if it’s your kid, if it’s your family”.
And Clinton offered an open hand to backers of Vermont Sen. I don’t like what they’re saying because a lot of it is lies. “Your cause is our cause”.
Yet resentments lingered throughout the convention, with a handful of attendees booing during her address.
Clinton aides dismissed the protests as little more than a few holdouts. “We will also liberate millions of people who already have student debt”, she said.
“What a remarkable week it’s been”, Clinton said. “We do. And most of all, don’t believe anyone who says: “I alone can fix it”.
In recent years, it has been said that Republicans are from Mars and Democrats are from Venus. I worked for Ronald Reagan. Her forceful acceptance speech was well-focused on its target, Donald Trump, but occasionally rambling in the elaboration of its theme: “stronger together”. But Democrats are bullish that Trump could do just that, especially if longtime Democratic voters overlook Trump’s braggadocios demeanor and vote for him in November. “I also know that our armed forces will not become an instrument of torture”.

The previously unreported incident at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, or DCCC, and its potential ties to Russian hackers, are likely to heighten accusations, so far unproven, that Moscow is trying to meddle in the United States election to help Trump.
