Democrats have buttressed Clinton with a star gathering of current and past party notables. “They just love their party here and it’s just a coronation of their queen”.
“Donald Trump says wages are too high”, O’Malley said. Also, on the economy, another heavy hitter, Vice President Joe Biden, he has said that Democrats have kind of forgotten how to talk to white working-class voters. “The America I know is decent and generous”, the president will say Thursday evening, according to advance excerpts of his speech.
Hillary will make us stronger together.
The night will also serve as the nation’s introduction to Virginia Sen.
Obama “has been candid about why he thinks electing the Republican nominee is a risky path for the United States”, White House spokesman Eric Schultz said on Tuesday. “We get frustrated with political gridlock, worry about racial divisions; are shocked and saddened by the madness of Orlando or Nice”. “We feel cheated by them, we feel they should not be speaking for any of us”.
Michelle Obama, in the best received speech of the convention so far, reminded her audience of the core American principles of opportunity.
Chelsea Sarnecki, a young woman from IN, told me she felt that Clinton had political and corporate ties that would not be IN the best interest of the country.
“Not having anti-Trump stuff was not just a benefit for us as a vendor, it’s a benefit to the people who are here”, said Maloney, who said he sold about 20 “Dump Trump” buttons, leftovers from the batch he brought with him to Philadelphia from last week’s GOP convention.
After all, the success of Sanders was also rooted, in many ways, in his ability to address voters’ concerns and frustrations. Sanders tapped into fury at Wall Street and campaign corruption, and highlighted class divisions.

Bill Clinton says “life in the real world is complicated and real change is hard”. “The argument is that hope didn’t deliver, but fear does”, Ms. “And I think that’s the most important thing to them”, Coleman summarizes after talking with Sanders supporters. A poll conducted by the Atlantic and the Aspen Institute a year ago found that less than half of white Americans believe the country’s “best days” lie ahead of it, compared with some 80 percent of African Americans. “Cartoons are two-dimensional. They’re easy to absorb”. Inside of the Wells Fargo Center, however, cheers erupted.
“This has to be the first time that a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent”, senior policy advisor Jake Sullivan said in a statement. Still, it was a historic moment 150 years in the making, and most delegates saw it that way. Trump, who campaigned Tuesday in North Carolina, mocked the former president’s speech in advance, calling him “over-rated”. The attacks on our police, and the terrorism in our cities, threaten our very way of life.
Second, leaders of the dissident factions have very different motivations. Whereas Nixon was banking on Americans’ faith in government and institutions to restore order, Trump is capitalizing on his outsider status.
“Everybody’s so mad right now. nobody really knows what they are going to do for sure”, said Kim Houle, 56, of Brooklyn, Connecticut, as she enjoyed her morning cup of coffee at her campsite under a canopy of towering trees.
State Democratic chairman Marcel Groen said Wolf may have a more understated style than Rendell, but that sitting governors always play a significant role in helping the party ticket. “But I think everyone is seeing very clearly Donald Trump can not be elected president”. “We’re sending a serious message to the Democratic Party that we’re not taking this”.
Bear Atwood, a Clinton delegate and lawyer from MS, agrees.
