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

At the end of her speech, Clinton returned to themes of family and referenced the momentousness of the occasion – and appeared to take the subtlest of digs at Trump, playing off the “Make America Great Again” slogan he borrowed from Ronald Reagan.
Several people spoke before Clinton took the stage, including businessman Mark Cuban who asked, “is there any bigger jagoff than Donald Trump?”. “He’s betting that the perils of today’s world will blind us to its unlimited promise”.
The tit-for-tat comes after Donald Trump’s wife, Melania, was criticized last week after being busted brazenly pinch from a speech First Lady Michelle Obama gave at the Democratic National Convention in 2008.
I’m moved that we actually got here in my lifetime, and I’m glad that it’s her: This woman, of all women, has had to fight to earn her place at the table. Mathias said that when she told Clinton “we don’t want a handout, we want a hand to help us up, she understood”. “She said that what anxious President Kennedy during that very risky time was that a war might be started, not by big men with self-control and restraint, but by little men, the ones moved by fear and pride”, she said.
The previously unreported incident at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, or DCCC, and its potential ties to Russian hackers, are likely to heighten accusations, so far unproven, that Moscow is trying to meddle in the United States election to help Mr Trump.
“My primary mission as president will be to create more opportunity and more good jobs with rising wages right here in the United States”, Clinton said.
At the end of the speech America was left inspired and crying uncontrollably because the historical impact of the moment was just too much to deal. “We will strike their sanctuaries from the air, and support local forces taking them out on the ground. Bonds of trust and respect are fraying”, said Mrs Clinton, a former secretary of state.”No wonder people are anxious and looking for reassurance – looking for steady leadership”. While she is the first woman to be nominated by a major party as their candidate for president, her speech will not stand out in history.
Criticising Mr Trump’s business pedigree, Mrs Clinton added: “That sales pitch he’s making to be your president?” They both garner high “unpopularity” ratings.
Trump said he was depicting the reporter groveling to him.
“A great Democratic president Franklin Delano Roosevelt came up with the flawless rebuke to Trump more than 80 years ago, during a much more perilous time – ‘the only thing we have to fear is fear itself'”. For the struggling, the striving and the successful.
She reached out to supporters of her rival, Bernie Sanders, who could be crucial to getting her over the line in November.
Democrats drew 24.4 million viewers on day three, one million more than the Republican convention.
Ret. Marine General John R. Allen, a former commander in Afghanistan, will underscore the same point.
He said it was good that Clinton mentioned specific ideas, and one of his favourite parts of the speech was when Clinton “doubled down” on gun control, he said.
Trump eventually concluded with “no one has worse judgement than Hillary Clinton – corruption and devastation follows her wherever she goes”. Their objective: using four nights of prime-time television to present Americans a sharp contrast to Donald Trump’s apocalyptic view of a decaying nation besieged by enemies, immigrants and violent criminals.

“I’ve been watching these speeches at night, and boy am I getting hit”, Trump said at an event Thursday in Iowa.
