At a rally in Colorado Springs Friday, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump warned Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton that after the conventions, he is “taking the gloves off”.

“Does Donald Trump have the temperament to be commander-in-chief?” she asked. “I said that because I know that Donald Trump couldn’t tell the difference”.
Last October, the National Education Association, the nation’s largest teachers union, gave Hillary Clinton one of her earliest organized labor endorsements.
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.
“That is not the America I know”, is not merely a fairly common phrase among political speakers. “Wouldn’t that be great?”
She embraced her reputation as a studious wonk, a politician more comfortable with policy proposals than rhetorical flourishes.
On Thursday, Clinton told the audience to imagine Trump “in the Oval Office facing a real crisis”.
“We’ve got to make this economy work for everyone, not just those at the top”.
“We must seize this moment to elect Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America”. His supporters chanted at times during her speech only to be drowned out by her supporters.
Ohio state Rep. Alicia Reece, president of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus and a Clinton delegate, said she heard some complaints when a few people booed Michelle Obama when she mentioned Clinton’s name Monday night. She doesn’t have the ability to inspire with a phrase like Barack Obama.
The Washington Post reported that the first documented use of the phrase in the LexisNexis database came from George H.W. Bush in 1992, when he said, “And that’s not the America that you and I know”.
Perhaps, the most notable comment Obama made was when he proclaimed no one, not himself, nor Bill [Clinton, the 42nd president and Hillary Clinton’s husband] has entered a general election campaign more prepared to be president.
Clinton said the US found itself at a “moment of reckoning”.
Clinton also reached out to Republicans and to followers of primary rival Bernie Sanders, the democratic socialist U.S. senator from Vermont. “She will go beyond all differences and unite people”, said Palaniappan Andiappan, who was a member of the Credentials Committee.
“We are equally thrilled with the nomination of Tim Kaine who is an ardent supporter of Sikhs to be admitted in the US Armed Forces without any restrictions”, Rajwant said. “Trump picture frames in India, not Wisconsin”, she said. He has proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country and a wall along the border with Mexico to keep illegal immigrants out. But her primary focus was persuading Americans to not be seduced by Mr. Trump’s vague promises to restore economic security and fend off threats from overseas.
