Though there was an emotional outpouring for Sanders, he did not win the majority of Texas delegates, and Tuesday night Texas cast a majority of its votes for Hillary Clinton, helping to make her the Democratic Party’s nominee.

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont waves while leaving the stage after addressing the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, July 25, 2016. “We all have Republican friends, and we’ve disagreed with them, but majority happen to believe in the Constitution of the United States of America”. They can’t blame the former president anymore (not just because President Obama has been in office for the past eight years) because Clinton voted for the war Democrats loathe so much.
A sea of Hillary Clinton campaign signs are waved in celebration by the convention crowd.
“We just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling yet”, Clinton said. But he was running to break the iron grip that woman had had on being spouse of the president.
“[Hillary] has said she wants a ban on the BDS movement, which I find very unconstitutional”, she said. “Now, it’s a little bit more complicated with him because people still call former presidents Mr. President”. But it was her husband who had perhaps the toughest job of the night – delivering the headlining speech. He attempted to humanize Hillary Clinton, beginning with the tale of how he met his wife at Yale Law School.
Though she is no longer affiliated with a campaign, Allam said she planned to continue to do grassroots work to help progressive senators and congress members get elected.
Mr Clinton, a Democratic icon, reminded the audience why he is still considered such a spellbinding speaker as he sought to transform how Americans see his wife.
“I move that Hillary Clinton be selected as the nominee of the Democratic Party”, Sanders said to massive cheers. “In fact, it doesn’t depend on any one person, and that in the end may be the biggest difference in this election – the meaning of our democracy”.
“If you were sitting where I’m sitting and you heard what I have heard, at every dinner conversation, every lunch conversation on every long walk – you would say this woman has never been satisfied with the status quo in anything”, he added. In North Carolina, he told a convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars that, “our politicians have totally failed you”.
Rep. John Lewis: “She is one of the most qualified candidates to ever run for president”.
The Trump campaign, Miller said, offers a bold, exciting, detailed vision for the future. Though, FGOTUS, the acronym for the title, doesn’t quite roll off the tongue like FLOTUS.

“Good for you, because earlier today you nominated the real one”, he said to the Democratic Party.
