“There was no positive agenda”. And I gotta be honest with you. Sanders supporters had hoped that she’d choose more of a liberal stalwart as her running mate. Tim Kaine, a moderate Democrat from Virginia, as her running mate.

His campaign chief, Paul Manafort, went further and called on Mrs Clinton to drop out of the race altogether.
Others plan to talk about the Clinton they know, a woman they describe as brilliant, warm and amusing.
“And for whatever reasons – and I don’t want to try to analyze the reasons”.
“Now Hillary Clinton should follow Wasserman Schultz’s lead and drop out”, Manafort said in a statement, citing Clinton’s storing of classified information on a private email server during her time as secretary of state.
Sanders said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he would have preferred another person for vice president, but the choice was up to Clinton.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Seeking to bridge deep Democratic divides, Bernie Sanders robustly embraced his former rival Hillary Clinton Monday night as a champion for the same economic causes that enlivened his supporters, signaling it was time for them, too, to rally behind her in the campaign against Republican Donald Trump.
In his speech, Kaine said he was an optimist and described his childhood in Kansas City helping his father in his metal-working shop and his Catholic mission to Honduras, where he helped teenagers with carpentry and welding and they taught him Spanish.
In a joint interview with Kaine, Clinton told “60 Minutes Sunday” that she won’t engage in “that kind of insult-fest” and that she prefers to talk about Trump’s record.
“When you go to services, and you see these people’s desire to join this great country, you’ll basically have this pretty incredible thought”, he said.
The Kaines had spent the day campaigning with the Democratic presidential candidate, who chose Kaine for the No. 2 spot on the Democratic ticket just 24 hours earlier. “It is ridiculous”, he said, referring to chants that broke out repeatedly at last week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
“We needed some prayers today and we got some prayers and we got some support and it really feels good”, Kaine said. He added: “Most of us stopped the name-calling thing about fifth grade”.
Mrs Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook, tried to put the blame for the email leak on to “Russian state actors” who, he said, may have breached party computers “for the goal of helping Donald Trump”.
“It is clear that he misspoke”, said state Sen.
“Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Hillary’s orchestrated collusion cheated thousands of honest Americans, who have invested enormous amounts of money and personal time for real change”, said one of the marchers, Dan Haggerty, 54, an electrician from California.
“She’s been in Washington for so long”, said Lisa Tarlecki, 56, of Berwyn, who said she was weighing whether to vote for Clinton – or not at all. Clinton joked that he “plays a mean harmonica”.
