“What an incredible honor that you have given me, and I can’t believe we just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling yet”, Clinton said on Tuesday evening.

Clinton’s record on abortion is extreme by most Americans’ standards.
The first debate between the two is in September and Sullivan adds expect that to be just as heated because they’re face to face.
Various factors contribute to this disconnection between admiration of Clinton and affection for her, but the most convincing explanation is her singular role as a woman at the highest level of American government.
Emma Norrell, 14, of Lancaster, S.C., who joined her mother, state Rep. Mandy Powers, on the convention floor as Clinton was nominated, said she had thought that a woman would become a major party nominee in her lifetime but didn’t think it would be this soon.
As candidates and their bases get ready to head out on the campaign trail they go with contrasting messages set from the main stage by their respective presidential nominees.
Clinton does not represent the American public, as a good president should.
What she did not do was explicitly acknowledge the issues that have contributed most recently to negative impressions of her, especially her decision to conduct business on a personal email account instead of the State Department’s. In her biography of Clinton, author Karen Blumenthal notes that as a teenager Hillary knocked on doors delivering pamphlets for the Republicans in the 1960 election. She has been the marital partner of a man who has taken other partners.
Numerous male delegates said they agreed. She has fibbed. She has used a private email server, which was wrong and careless. Not all women stand with Hillary. “The only thing I remember is that she was dating a boy my friend was also dating!” “She has kind of lived her life in that upper strata”.
“Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis”, Clinton said after skewering Trump’s foreign policy pronouncements. In Arkansas, she became a successful partner in a law firm and did not change her last name when she was married; ultimately she took the Clinton name to help her husband regain the gubernatorial seat he lost.
Then Clinton raised the stakes. She can not possibly know what will happen in the next four years if or when she gets elected.
Henderson also speaks with state Sen.
If Clinton wins in November, it’s a sure bet that she’ll be the most admired woman by a large margin.

“This is my first time voting as an American”, she said.
