“Full disclosure, we know a few Bernie sandwiches were sold to Hillary supporters simply due to topping preference”, Pat’s wrote on Facebook.

Sure: but if you choose your son or daughter to deliver an important speech at a national convention, people are going to form some kind of judgment on his or her performance. Frankly, Hillary Clinton does not have the credibility to take on the risky appeal of Donald Trump.
The former secretary of state said the two conventions highlighted the “stark choice” facing voters. It’s why candidates get a boost in approval after their nomination speech; following the Republican convention, polls had Donald Trump tied with or ahead of Clinton. Gone was the sunny optimism of Ronald Reagan.
“No one has worse judgment that Hillary Clinton – corruption and devastation follows her wherever she goes” and “Hillary’s wars in the Middle East have unleashed destruction, terrorism and ISIS across the world”.
I wish that were not true. Clinton is claiming that the top 1 percent of Americans gets 90 percent of the gains in income, but there is increasing evidence that income imbalance has improved in recent years as the economy has recovered from the Great Recession. Their goal is to turn out the coalition of minority, female and young voters that twice elected President Barack Obama to the White House and, like Obama, offset expected losses among the white male voters drawn to Trump’s message. Thursday night, as she stood on that sky blue stage in her pearl white pantsuit, you could imagine her in the ring with Trump.
Clinton, accompanied by Kaine and their spouses, will use her bus trip to focus on economic opportunity, diversity and national security.
Mrs Clinton emphasised her point by saying the Founding Fathers designed the US Constitution so America would be a nation where no one person had all the power.
But after the history, the speech needed to start building a position where she can demonstrate she understands the pain ordinary working families have felt with stagnant wages and falling living standards.
Clinton spoke of the strains that have been placed on United States society during the toxic year-long campaign featuring heated rhetoric from Trump and other candidates. Poignant tales from her somewhat troubled childhood, her 1960s Ivy-League romance with Bill and her life of work in social causes and political offices were contrasted with the billionaire Trump’s flamboyant image.
Women in Clinton’s generation see her candidacy as the capstone of decades of hard-fought battles to achieve equal rights.
This is how you lose memorable lines from nomination acceptance speeches.
In a debate in the 2008 campaign, Barack Obama gave Clinton an infamously backhanded compliment: “You’re likeable enough”, he sniped.
Along the way, the Clinton campaign is loudly accusing Trump and running mate Mike Pence of offering a gloom-and-doom vision, what Clinton on Thursday dubbed “midnight in America”.
The Democratic nominee set out to prove she is ready to for her first state of the union address while childish Trump is busy lashing out on Twitter. If it was up to Donald Trump he never would have been in America. She could not have been more informal or charming.

She said she was happy for boys and men, too, because when a barrier falls, it clears the way for all. An internal review had found the word “Neither” has, at times, siphoned support away from one or the other candidate. They both garner high “unpopularity” ratings.
