Clinton was not the only DNC speaker on which Trump hammered away.

Sanders’ supporters threatened a mass protest during Clinton’s remarks and while there were isolated protests and boos, much of the crowd was enthralled by her speech. “A bold agenda to improve the lives of people across our country – to keep you safe, to get you good jobs, and to give your kids the opportunities they deserve”.
The charge comes after Melania Trump was criticised for lifting significant portions of her address to the convention from Michelle’s first convention speech in 2008.
And in a bold admission for a candidate seeking to build on President Barak Obama’s policies, she said the economy “is not yet working the way it should”.
Clinton also vowed to fight income inequality, offered an agenda for providing debt-free college, promised to introduce sensible gun control measures, and pledged to fight climate change – because she “believes in science”. “In contrast to the dark Republican message, Democrats have become the party of light, the party of hope”. She told Americans we cannot afford to elect Donald Trump as president, warning: “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons”.
“Now, you didn’t hear any of this from Donald Trump at his convention”. He spoke for 70-odd minutes – and I do mean odd.
Bernie Sanders shepherding the Democrats in his democratic socialist movement back to the fold, the socialists still unhappy to learn this really was the Democratic National Convention. “In fact, his speech, his whole convention, seemed more about insulting me than helping the American people”. “He’s forgetting every last one of us…we say, we’ll fix it together”. “But you know what, I’m starting to agree with you”.
Clinton cited President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s best-known remark in a rebuke of Trump’s platform, saying “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”. Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis. “The America I know is decent and generous”, Obama said. Day two saw the Democrats earn 24.7 million viewers, nearly five million more than the GOP, according to Nielsen.
They included Khizr Khan, the father of Muslim soldier, Capt. Humayun Khan, who died while serving in the US Army in the years that followed the September 11 attacks in NY. Let’s take a look at the truth behind what was said on the convention stage.

Trump, of course, has not congratulated Clinton on her historic nomination.
