Tim Kaine, whom she picked to be her vice president last week, has a son who is deploying Monday to “help defend our North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies in Europe”.

Hillary Clinton should be in jail.
These are not fringe opinions.
They selected middle-aged white guys, lawyers with monosyllabic names and extensive political careers – in Washington and as governors – who both describe themselves as “boring”. “After all, America’s word has to mean something”.
He said, “This is clearly a close race, and the outcome can go either way”.
“The vice president selection is very important”.
“Politics has never been genteel. but generally both parties and their leaders have recognized the legitimacy of the process, and that seems to be fraying”, said Republican Steve Schmidt, top strategist for Arizona Sen. Its candidate spent four years as secretary of state and is running on her record of service. Clinton was investigated, but not charged.

Clinton aides watched Trump’s convention last week with a mix of satisfaction and concern.
America has always relied upon the latest wave of immigrants to reinvent and reinvigorate these United States. That represents a 6-point “convention bounce”, according to Time magazine. “And I know that it takes a little getting used to, even for me”, Clinton said. And Trump’s willingness to repeatedly scapegoat minorities is a haunting echo of the worst demagoguery of the 1930s.
The Huffington Post’s poll aggregator still gives Clinton a slight edge, though it has diminished to less than a single point.
So, does a presidential candidate in a highly polarized environment get a “bounce” from a disorganized and divided convention that struck numerous nominee’s enemies as reminiscent of certain 20th-century authoritarian spectacles? Trump displays a pristine ignorance of nearly every major issue of our time, while Clinton is steeped in the details of every issue from pre-K education to the clear and present dangers of global warming.
As Barack Obama said of Clinton, “I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office”.
Schmidt, the former McCain strategist, noted “half the country is going to be unhappy” after any presidential election. That year, in the wake of riots and the assassinations of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Democratic presidential candidate Robert Kennedy, Richard Nixon’s singular focus on law and order, couched in a pitch to the “silent majority”, led him to victory. And there’s no guarantee voters would follow their chosen candidate’s lead. “But here’s what I want you to know”. “I’m a Marine. Two tours in Iraq”.
“The last thing we need is somebody running for president who talks trash about America”, Clinton said. “She’s experienced. I’m looking forward to her being the next commander in chief”, said Joyce Rochester, from Fayetteville. On the one hand, the conventions are not a particularly good time to sweat every tick in the polls. “You read that history, Rome wasn’t conquered from the outside”, King said. Asked to contemplate a Trump administration, King laughed.
Donald Trump Jr. won a lot of praise from attendees and viewers for his poise and confidence.
With around 35 million viewers tuning in for Trump’s closing speech, it’s not hard to see why he could garner more enthusiasm for his presidential prospects. GOP Gov. John Kasich was conspicuous by his absence at the convention hall, and still refuses to endorse his primary rival. Ted Cruz, and establishment Republicans remain uneasy about their nominee. Bernie Sanders, particularly on economic issues, but he does support the party’s quest for inclusion.
If the USA presidential elections were held this week, Donald Trump would win, according to research published ahead of the Democratic National Convention.

“Its about embracing diversity that does make our country great”, she added.
