During Hillary Clinton’s first presidential campaign in 2008, her husband angered some Democrats with dismissive comments about Obama.
Clinton later addressed the crowd in a short live video from NY, telling them, “We have put the biggest crack yet in that glass ceiling”. Clinton spoke about the significance of the moment to any young girls who were watching. She added, “The idea that I’m going to be here when the first woman president is nominated is overwhelming”.
“Bill Clinton further argued that the “real one” has earned the loyalty and respect of coworkers throughout her career, has been a positive “change maker” and will call ‘when you’re sick, your kid’s in trouble or there’s a death in the family”.
“I will work with her and my national network to raise what she needs to win”, Christie wrote.
“Hillary will make us stronger together because she spent a lifetime doing it”, Bill Clinton said.
The former president also reached out to groups that have been singled out by Republican nominee Donald Trump. “So, tonight’s speech will very much be a personal one for him”, a Clinton aide told ABC.
Dunham: “But America, you’re not Mexican”. Clinton is expected to accept the nomination in a speech Thursday night.
Bill said that he was immediately impressed with Hillary’s “strength and self-possession”. Hillary Clinton was formally anointed Democratic presidential candidate here on Tuesday, becoming the first woman to run for the White House on behalf of a major USA political party.
“Given it’s not something that he has spoken about, there are no policies on any of those fronts that you just mentioned on his website – not last week, not this week”, she said.
NPR’s Sam Sanders followed some of the Bernie Sanders supporters out of the arena and into the media tent where they staged a silent sit-in.
Many had pieces of tape across their mouths with slogans such as “no voice”. They both represent heavily Republican districts and faced little-known Democratic candidates. Some had tape over the mouths, symbolizing they felt they had been silenced. “Our democracy has been taken over by corporations”. The final vote was 2,842 delegates for Clinton and 1,865 for Sanders. “That is just who she is”.
Sometimes Bill Clinton got personal: He detailed how Hillary left him speechless and how he proposed two times before she said yes the third.
It was the keynote speech on the Democrats’ second convention night, an evening that focused on promoting Hillary rather than blasting Trump. The tally included the overwhelming support by unpledged delegates, or superdelegates, for her.
