“Whether I am meant to or not, I challenge assumptions about women”, Clinton once said in 2009.

Even on the first night of the convention, women were given another reason to celebrate this memorable moment when first lady Michelle Obama delivered a rousing speech that shut down archaic sexist criticism of Clinton, spun them around, and then proved why Clinton’s political career and her experience as a mother and a grandmother are the ideal qualifications for her to be the next president.
Trump appeared to be relieved that the Democratic convention was finally ending.
She began by thanking people like President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden for their service leading the country over the last eight years.
It was a moment America had never seen: a woman accepting a major party’s nomination for president.
“It’s true”, Clinton said.
While the party has a variety of progressive planks in its platform it does not intend to fight this election on a left-right axis – but on other fronts.
Over the years Hillary has repeatedly been accused of using her husband Bill’s political status as a springboard for her own career.
She also thanked her former rival Bernie Sanders, who she said inspired millions of Americans and put economic and social justice front and center.
“With Hillary as president, she will care about all of us, not just some of us”. Her grandmother, Karen, was in the same year as Clinton at Yale Law School. Don’t know if that’s because she’s a Clinton. An estimated 50,000 people are expected in Philadelphia, including hundreds of protesters and members of the media.
“Donald Trump is a candidate that if you attack him in the slightest way and he will come back at you hard”. He is the candidate who labelled all of his opponents in the primaries with nicknames. “Whatever party you belong to, or if you belong to no party at all, if you share these beliefs, this is your campaign”, Clinton said.
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. “And for me and her future, I think that’s just a terrific thing for her to see”.
Trump has spent much of his campaign spouting facts that may not be entirely true and Sullivan hopes people question that as the United States gets closer to choosing a new leader.
“He’s really drawing on people’s emotions”. His speech at the convention Tuesday night made it sound like he and Hillary were the happiest married couple in the world.

“We will not build a wall instead, we will build an economy where everyone who wants a good job can get one.And we’ll build a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants who are already contributing to our economy”, she said.
