Again, if you’re inclined to like Democrats, those pictures get you half the way there, regardless of what was in the speech.

Last night, Hillary Clinton put that image in America’s collective heads.
Presidential elections are supposed to be won by the candidate who is more optimistic and future-oriented. Which was important, because this is going to be one of the closest races in her political career.
Their rally in the Temple gym was the start of a three-day bus tour through the battlegrounds of OH and Pennsylvania- states that each hosted one of the just concluded conventions. First, the lines were even longer than usual.
I don’t know anything. I could’ve had a bunch of Kroger Plus bonus cards around my neck on a lanyard and I think I could’ve gotten in along with the rest of the crowd. “The truth is, through all these years of public service, the “service” part has always come easier to me than the “public” part”, she said.
“She seems a bit distant, disconnected”. She has a credibility problem with the never-going-away email “scandal” and is seen still as an establishment figure, aloof and coolly distant.
Hillary was watching Chelsea’s speech with a mother’s pride back stage. She did, and that was all. Islamic extremism got a mention but it was the jugular of Hilary Clinton that was in the centre of the Trump sights, though even here he was notably toned down calling for Clinton to be defeated in the polls rather than locked up or shot, as was mooted by one of his aides earlier in the convention.
Many delegates – Sanders and Clinton supporters alike – referred to their mothers or daughters or other women in their lives when talking about Clinton. Check out these takeaways from her speech.

In the current Real Clear Politics polling average, 55.6 percent of Americans say they hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic presidential nominee. “Don’t believe anyone who says, “I alone can fix it, ‘” Clinton said”. “America should know the suffering and the cost of war and part of that is the sacrifice of American troops and the sacrifice of American families”, Short said.
Citing the anti-establishment nature of the Sanders and Trump campaigns, one protester pointed out that, “for some people, Bernie is the person they stuck with, but there are some anti-establishment things they want, and they’ll go with Trump”.
And she attacked Donald Trump’s business practices, claiming that the billionaire did not fairly compensate some of his employees. Mainstream American identity is big enough to span a country and win an election, if politicians like Obama can define “mainstream American” to include Republicans and Democrats alike, and to exclude Donald Trump. Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union”, he said, “It is majority leader’s and speaker’s moral, ethical obligation to not worry about the votes, but repudiate him, withdraw the support”.
“So numerous people who should be their core constituencies – young people, African-Americans, Latinos – don’t vote in as large number as Republicans”, Kazin notes.
