“Please explain to me what part of America First leads him to make Trump ties in China, not Colorado”. Trump is an easy figure to mock. A Trump presidency is no longer a laughing matter.
Vigdor once backed Sanders and knows a lot of “Bernie or Bust” people who have yet come on board with Clinton’s campaign. The reference was to a Trump line.
Trump offered fear, so Clinton explicitly rejected it. Trump said the country is coming unglued, so Clinton pitched a message of unity, cooperation, and the importance of being “stronger together”. “But she is the right choice, and the responsible choice, in this election”.
The mood in the arena was jubilant but as one Hillary Clinton delegate put it, this is a love fest. Trump comes out ahead when voters are asked to rank the nominees on honesty and trustworthiness. After four days of Democrats-and some Republicans, too-extolling the historic nature of a woman receiving a major party nomination, Clinton was well into her acceptance speech before she acknowledged the milestone. Now the stubbornly persistent whiff of wrongdoing left by that episode has been compounded by the unedifying clutch of emails from the Democratic National Committee released by WikiLeaks a week ago.

The former secretary of state reached out to her former party opponent Bernie Sanders disappointed voters and said, “I want to thank Bernie Sanders”.
“A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons”, Clinton said. She said that what anxious President Kennedy during that very unsafe time was that a war might be started – not by big men with self-control and restraint, but by little men – the ones moved by fear and pride.

Clinton went through a list of ideals, which could garner support from both sides of the aisle, and then made a simple proposition: If you agree with these things, I’m your candidate.
