After a quarter-century just behind the men in charge, Clinton gets her turn alone with the American public on Thursday evening.

Clinton thanked her daughter and everyone in attendance for the convention. Chants of “Hillary!, Hillary!”, rang out throughout the arena. “Jobs in manufacturing, clean energy, technology and innovation, small business, and infrastructure”, she added.
The unicorn of American politics, the “real Hillary Clinton”-the Hillary Clinton I’ve known for almost 30 years-that Hillary Clinton likes to wear low-heeled shoes to a butt-kicking”. Bernie Sanders supporters, was tumultuous but cathartic, some delegates said. “Bernie, your campaign inspired millions of Americans, particularly the young people who put their hearts and souls into our primary”, Clinton said. “And to all of your supporters here and around the country: I want you to know, I’ve heard you. Your cause is our cause”. “We wrote it together”.
Clinton preached a message of unity saying, “We are stronger together”.
“Now America is once again at a moment of reckoning”.
“Donald Trump says, ‘I know more about this than the generals do, ‘” she told the audience of Trump’s plan to fight ISIS after she explained the four specific steps she would take as president to defeat terrorists. “He wants to divide us – from the rest of the world, and from each other”.
About halfway through her speech, Clinton glared out from the podium and spoke directly to her opponent for the presidency, Republican nominee Donald Trump. “He’s forgetting every last one of us…we say, we’ll fix it together”.
In particular, Clinton needs to build trust among the two demographic groups that polls suggest trend Trump: white male and blue-collar voters.
She went through her last few responsibilities, touching on her roles as First Lady, a senator from NY and Secretary of State. “My job titles only tell you what I’ve done. It’s just not right that Donald Trump can ignore his debts, but students and families can’t refinance theirs”.
“Through all these years of public service, the “service” part has always come easier to me than the “public” part”.
Republicans also argue she should pay more attention to her own base.
He also queried her failure to mention “radical Islam”.
I am so proud that Hillary Clinton is going to be commander and chief. She promised to be a president for all people, whether you vote for her, or night. She embraced her reputation as a studious wonk, a politician more comfortable with policy proposals than rhetorical flourishes.
– When there are no ceilings, the sky’s the limit. In a couple of hours, she will deliver the biggest speech of her life as she accepts the Democratic nomination – with around 30 million Americans watching.
Hillary will never reform Wall Street.
“Donald you’re so vain”.
Sanders gave his full backing to Clinton, urged his supporters to follow and asked them to be respectful of speakers on stage, some of whom they had little in common with politically.
In sharp contrast, the only effective endorsements for Trump in Cleveland came from his own children.
“He loses his cool at the slightest provocation”, she said.
“America is already great”.
The drift away from rural America, from gun owners and pro-life voters who once found a home with Democrats in spite of some cultural differences, didn’t start with Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. Guns and abortion are no longer the flash points that trade policy and immigration have become for white men who believe Democratic policies are responsible for wage stagnation and job loss. “I know that she’ll take care of my kids”, Brown said.
Anyone who uses the old URL of her site is now transferred directly to the Trump Organisation homepage. Our country’s motto is e pluribus unum: out of many, we are one. She also bridged the connection between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
“I think she has work to do, and I think the party has some work to do to convince us that not only are they going to live up to that platform the party passed, but that they’ll work with us”, said Donna Smith, executive director of Progressive Democrats of America.
