Ahead of Hillary Clinton’s highly anticipated acceptance speech for the Democratic presidential nomination Thursday, July 28, Hillary for America released excerpts from her address. “After all, when there are no ceilings, the sky’s the limit”. “So maybe we’ve got kind of a high point of the campaign now and then it will taper off just a bit between now and Labor Day and then get going again”.

It had been a tough week for Clinton, who was the target of protests by pro-Sanders groups galvanized against the Democratic nominee.
“This isn’t reality television, this is reality”, Bloomberg said, referencing Trump’s former job hosting a show on NBC.
“Tonight’s speech was merely a litany of platitudes which dodged a serious discussion of our slumping economy and our diminished standing in the world under President Obama, topics which should be well-known to her after spending years in his cabinet”, Priebus said. Clinton has said those emails were private.

Now, Clinton is the first former spouse of a president to be nominated for the White House.
Republican Donald Trump did his best to steal the spotlight Wednesday.
Mr Trump, a 70-year-old NY businessman who has never held political office, is running just ahead of Mrs Clinton in a RealClearPolitics average of recent national opinion polls. “We will not build a wall”. “Even in the midst of crisis, she listens to people, and she keeps her cool, and she treats everybody with respect”, Obama declared. “We will work with all our allies to fight and defeat terrorism”, Hillary said during the speech. “That’s what happens when we try”.
