With the last week belonging to the Republicans, Hillary Clinton’s camp is gearing up to take the spotlight.

Donald Trump remains tied with Democrat Hillary Clinton in swing-state OH as his Republican convention plays out in the Buckeye State, a new Suffolk University / USA TODAY poll shows.
Trump said if elected as the US President in the November elections, he will put in place an immigration system “that works, but one that works for the American people”.
The Texas senator held the crowd during the first half of his convention hall speech, as he urged Americans to support the families of five police officers killed in Dallas this month.
After a convention with a shaky start, Trump gave the speech of a lifetime.
Though he vanquished 16 primary rivals, he’s viewed with unprecedented negativity by the broader electorate, and is struggling in particular with younger voters and minorities, groups GOP leaders know they need for the party to grow.
Trump’s speech was a gloomy exclamation point on a run-on sentence of a convention.
“But my greatest compassion will be for our own struggling citizens”. In Brussels, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance agreement was crystal clear: “We defend each other”. All those positions go against prevailing Republican beliefs. He is a man of passion and love for his community and the country.
“This, in turn, will create millions of jobs”, Trump said. “Reducing taxes will cause new companies and new jobs to come roaring back into our country”.
The Republican presidential nominee called President Barack Obama’s rhetoric on race “irresponsible”.
“I’m with you, the American people”, he said, a response to Hillary Clinton’s slogan “I’m With Her”.
Did you hear the speech?
“After 15 years of wars in the Middle East, after trillions of dollars spent and thousands of lives lost, the situation is worse than it has ever been before”.
“This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction and weakness”, he said. “We will make America safe again”, said Trump.
Looking farther down the road, Christie also said he plans to stay out of the public eye once he becomes an ex-governor.
Trump’s daughter Ivanka addressed the convention before introducing her father to the cheering crowd.
Clinton fired off an icy rebuke on Twitter, telling him: “We are better than this”. “My message is that things have to change – and they have to change right now”. Donald Trump is an honorable guy. He vowed to defeat “the barbarians of ISIS”, the acronym for Islamic State.
“I have a message for all of you: The crime and violence that afflicts our nation will soon – and I mean very soon – come to an end”. The next president takes office on January 20.
Trump is breaking sharply with his party on trade.
Baldasaro said on a Boston talk radio program on Tuesday that Clinton should be “put in the firing line and shot for treason” in connection with her handling of the September 11, 2012 terrorist raid on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, as secretary of state.
