You want to know the real reason why Hillary’s team was quick out of the chute in flagging the plagiarism? But these are some of the pins that are being sold at the venue. Mary Ann Mendoza, for instance, spoke of how her police sergeant son was slain and how a Clinton victory would result in “an administration that cares more about illegals than about Americans”.

“He’s one of the high profile surrogates for Trump and that in and of itself says something, ” Murray said. Overlay those often emotional and often exaggerated anti-Clinton speeches with a tendency among fervent Republicans toward increased frustration, fear and (at times) disgust with her and her party – and then put a lot of those Republicans in room together – and: voila.
Hillary Clinton is picking up the endorsement of UNITE HERE ahead of a campaign trip to Nevada, winning the support of a labor union that represents workers in the hotel, gaming and food service industries.

The Clinton campaign says the former secretary of state has no plans to abolish the right to own a gun, but has called for universal background checks and stricter control of firearms.

“If I did a tenth of what she did, I would be in jail”.
“She deserves to be in stripes”, Smith said to cheers. “Guilty”, the crowd cheered.
The convention already had a reality show tinge, and this was in line with a TV courtroom show.
