Sanders supporters booed when speakers talked up Clinton, until comedian Sarah Silverman, a Sanders supporter, saved the day by saying, “Bernie-or-Bust people, you’re being ridiculous”, and Michelle Obama’s moving endorsement blew away any lingering clouds.

In Colorado Springs, Trump got sidetracked by a couple of disputes from past year as he tried to rebut a Clinton campaign ad.
Sanders declared his support for Clinton in an earlier speech at the convention. They say the nomination of a woman candidate by the Democratic Party is likely to encourage Zimbabwean women to seek nomination for the presidential race in 2018 in the southern African nation. The party in power is always burdened with having to defend the current White House occupant, and speaker after speaker at the DNC tried to convince the majority of Americans who believe the country is on the wrong track are themselves wrong.
And Trump did not want to forget to jab at former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has apparently inherited the “little” mantle from former primary rival Florida Sen. Get more Spectator for less – just £12 for 12 issues. I will gladly lend you my copy.
“We don’t resent success in America but we do resent people who take advantage of others in order to line their own pockets, ” said Clinton, addressing local officials and employees on the factory floor.
Clinton didn’t miss a chance to go after her opponent.

Her parents, Chelsea said, challenged her and taught her to think for herself.
Clinton and Kaine will then have events in Cleveland and Columbus on Sunday, and continue to frame their vision in contrast with the one that Trump presented at the Republican National Convention last week, CBS News added. “Given it’s not something that he has spoken about, there are no policies on any of those fronts that you just mentioned on his website – not last week, not this week”, she said. “I’ve been very nice to her”. “Instead we will build an economy where everyone who wants a job will get one”.
Hillary Clinton declared her belief in science. “Especially in places that for too long have been left out and left behind”. “I’ve seen her holding the hands of mothers anxious about how to feed their kids, how they’ll get them the health care they need”.
At its core, Clinton’s speech, like the Democratic convention that it brought to a close, was about what it means to be American – and what it doesn’t.

“She can’t have it both ways”, he said.
