“America needs every one of us to lend our energy, our talents, our ambition to making our nation better and stronger”, said Clinton before accepting the nomination. Analysts say Clinton has to counter the impression she is unfeeling or unable to relate to issues affecting the average American.

“Let our legacy be about planting a garden we will never get to see”, Clinton said. She aimed to appeal to undecided voters by contrasting her candidacy with Donald Trump’s, casting him as unprepared for the Oval Office. “Her refusal to even say the words “Radical Islam”, or to mention her disaster in Libya, or her corrupt email scheme, all show how little she cares about the safety of the American people”.

Humayun Khan was 27 when he was killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq in 2004.
Our state’s 18 electoral votes are a coveted prize and it was obvious by the last night of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. Her family joined her on stage and Clinton made her exit.
Becoming the first woman to win the nomination of a major political party, Clinton promised to be a president for “all Americans”, whether they voted for her or not.
Earlier in the day, Trump refused to credit Clinton’s unique role in history.
With the conventions now over, Donald Trump wants to cast the race less in terms of Republican versus Democrat, but outsider versus insider.
