“I’ve heard you: Your cause is our cause”, she told them, promising to work to make “the platform that we wrote together” political reality.

Trump supporters say Clinton deserves to be prosecuted for her handling of USA foreign policy as President Barack Obama’s first-term secretary of state and for her use of a private email server while in that office.
Mrs Clinton, who is vying to be the first woman elected U.S. president, called her nomination “a milestone” and said she was happy for grandmothers and little girls and “everyone in between”.
There is real anxiety among Democrats over whether Donald Trump might edge out Hillary Clinton for the presidency, especially as the Republican nominee’s economic message encroaches on themes of their own.
Chelsea Clinton addresses the Democratic National Convention, sharing stories of what she’s learned from her mother, Hillary.
– Trump “can’t even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign”.
“A person she has always liked is Michelle Obama”, Trump speechwriter Meredith McIver said, in a statement issued last week.
Khizr Kahn, a Muslim whose son was one of 14 Muslims killed while serving in the military since the September 11, 2001, attacks, drew cheers when he pulled out a pocket copy of the US Constitution and said he wanted to show it to Trump. “No one has worse judgement than Hillary Clinton-corruption and devastation follows her wherever she goes”.
– I accept the Democratic presidential nomination with “humility, determination and boundless confidence in America’s promise”.
“I’m voting for the progressive who will protect our planet from climate change and our communities from gun violence, who will reform our criminal justice system and who knows that women’s rights are human rights and who knows that LGBT rights are human rights”.
Perhaps Trump has made a decision to cultivate a new image as a fair-minded critic and will soon be referring to the Democratic nominee as “Could Be More Ethical (Although, Really, Who Am I to Say?) Hillary”.
To much applause, she told supporters of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders that they shared the same cause. “It is the calling of her life”. Clinton said she was happy for woman, considering the historic moment and also for men, because she said that when a barrier is broken, it helps everyone, saying to imagine what could happen, “when there are no ceilings”.
“In Donald Trump’s America, it doesn’t matter that I’m an accomplished attorney and a policy expert, it just matters how attractive I am on a scale of one to 10”. “There are no guarantees”, Clinton said. She is the first woman in history to do so.
“She makes me proud every single day. Jobs in manufacturing, clean energy, technology and innovation, small business, and infrastructure”, she added.
– We heard Donald Trump’s answer last week at his convention.
“To our enemies, we will pursue you as only America can, you will fear us”.
