But her primary focus was persuading Americans to not be seduced by Trump’s vague promises to restore economic security and fend off threats from overseas.

The Republican nominee also claimed no one has “worse judgement” than his Democratic adversary, adding that her wars “have unleashed destruction, terrorism and ISIS across the world”.
Overshadowed by yet another email controversy, the Democratic Party is dealing with disgruntled factions who are disappointed Bernie Sanders isn’t their nominee. Her comments about Sanders, in particular, were laughably disingenuous. I would urge her, as I would urge her mother, not to compete with anybody and just deliver the message you want to deliver from your heart.
The Democratic gathering began on a note of discord on Monday, with backers of Bernie Sanders, the USA senator from Vermont who lost the nomination to Clinton, noisily booing the very mention of her name. He acknowledged that “she’s made mistakes” but so had he and everyone else. This time, her campaign seemed determined not to follow the same path, telling her supporters early on that though she wasn’t the youngest candidate she would “be the youngest woman president in the history of the United States”. The amendment allowed women to vote.
In January, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz implied the generational divide among women was the result of a lack of interest in defending abortion rights. “But for those of us who support her, it was a cathartic moment when Senator Sanders came forward and moved that all the votes be given to Secretary Clinton”.
“In an outsider year, you have the absolute queen of the political establishment running against the absolute king of the anti-establishment, so that dynamic favors Trump”, the George Washington University professor says. “Excluded from Hillary Clinton’s America are the suffering people living in our inner cities, or the victims of open borders and drug cartels, or the people who’ve lost their jobs because of the Clintons” trade deals, or any hardworking person who doesn’t have enough money to get a seat at Hillary Clinton’s table’.
Clinton asked whether Trump would stay true to the phrase on the country’s seal – “E Pluribus Unum”, or out of many, we are one. “I’m an only child, so it’s a unique position that I have and I just hope that people understand, even a little more when I’m done than when I started, why I love her so much and admire her so much”, Chelsea said.
“We’re gonna destroy ISIS so fast – believe me!”
The theme of the Democratic convention was “Stronger Together”, and the final day of the convention – and Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech – proved the point. In her Monday night address, first lady Michelle Obama said her daughters and other children would take it for granted that a woman can be president. “And to all of your supporters here and around the country, I want you to know I’ve heard you”, Clinton said.
Supporters drew parallels to the role Obama has played in the lives of black children.
As she prepared to deliver her speech, people familiar with the matter said the FBI is investigating a cyber intrusion against a major Democratic Party congressional fundraising group, an attack that may be related to an earlier hack against the party’s apparatus.
When she got slapped back she remade herself, and when her husband humiliated her, she went out and got a political career of her own.

“I would’ve hit them…I was gonna hit them”. “Actually, it’s all about them and their future”.
