Clinton officially accepted the Democratic nomination on Thursday and will face Republican nominee Donald Trump in the national USA presidential elections in November. “It was just hard to go to sleep”.

The ad is so harsh, in fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see whomever the GOP nominee ends up being using it in his ads against Clinton, should she become the Democratic nominee.
Hillary Clinton had officially accepted the Democratic nomination for president the night before, capping off the four-day convention with a speech that made her case for the presidency, the last of a marquee lineup that included President Barack Obama.
Clinton delivered a heavily progressive speech, which also included plenty of attacks on her republican rival, Donald Trump. Hillary may or may not have chosen her daughter to introduce her in order to parallel Ivanka’s speech at the RNC, but in any event, the comparison is inevitable.
Polls find that most Americans question Clinton’s honesty. I don’t think so. What was clear, however, was that most of the rank-and-file Republicans who did come were ready to support Trump and shouted down anyone – including Sen. Still 25% refused to elect neither Trump nor Clinton. With all due respect, are we really going to vote for a president because she is a good grandmother?
Last night Hillary Clinton made history by becoming the first woman to accept the presidential nomination of any major political party in the US.
“Now, sometimes the people at this podium are new to the national stage”, she said, adding with sardonic timing: “As you know, I’m not one of those people”. She promised to work tirelessly with responsible gun owners to pass common sense reforms and keep guns out of the hands of criminals and terrorists.
The website did find examples of Trump ties, suits and furniture made overseas where Clinton claimed, but it should be noted that some other Trump products are in fact made in the US, including his signature “Make America Great Again” baseball caps.
The presidential election presented a stark choice on national security, she said, with the U.S. facing “determined enemies that must be defeated”.
In her eight years in the senate, just one of Hillary’s bills got enacted into law.
She portrayed Trump as volatile, saying “a man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons”.
Election forecasts like 538 and the New York Times show Clinton leading Trump in the polls, but according to the Now-cast on 538, it is still a tight race.
Former Reagan administration official Doug Elmets announced he was casting his first vote for a Democrat in November and urged other Republicans who “believe loyalty to our country is more important than loyalty to party” to do the same.

In the biggest speech of her more than 25-year-old career in the public eye, Clinton, 68, cast herself as a steady leader at a “moment of reckoning” for the country, and contrasted her character with what she described as Trump’s risky and volatile temperament.
