“Now, I know Hillary Clinton is not flawless; no candidate is”. “It’s time to put emotions aside and start thinking in a rational way and move forward and understand in democracy, you can’t always be the victor”. “America isn’t about ‘yes he will.’ It’s about ‘yes we can!'”

Washington state delegate Jim CastroLang, a Sanders supporter, said President Obama’s speech on Wednesday night showed how the parties differ. “It was tough, because Hillary was tough”.

Experts told USA Today Clinton, in her Thursday speech, should mention that if she wins, she would be in the White House on August 18, 2020 – the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution. “For four years I had a front row seat to her intelligence, her judgement and her discipline”, he said.

President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden had also given speeches supporting Clinton, casting her as qualified for the Oval Office because of her experience as a former secretary of state, USA senator and first lady, but also because of her loyalty and passion. Clinton has been holed up in a hotel room in Philadelphia working on her speech and putting on the finishing touches.

“Don’t boo, vote”, Mr. Obama said when the audience booed at the mention of Mr. Trump. “Don’t boo him; vote”.

In a CBS News poll, taken after last weeks Republican convention, 56 percent of voters said Donald Trump is not honest and trustworthy. We are not a fragile or frightful people. We’re not a frightful people. Our power doesn’t come from some self-declared savior promising that he alone can restore order. “We don’t look to be ruled”.

Obama says the country is “full of courage, and optimism, and ingenuity”.

On the heels of reports that Russian Federation may have hacked Democratic Party emails, he said, “Russia, if you’re listening”, it would be desirable to see Moscow find and publish the thousands of emails Mrs Clinton says she deleted during her years as USA secretary of state. “I’m a New Yorker and I know a con when I see one”, said Bloomberg, who was first elected as a Republican and now is an independent.

Hillary Clinton surprised attendees at the Democratic Convention on Wednesday by walking out onstage after President Obama’s speech to join him for a hug. “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing”, Trump said.
