According Spredfast’s analysis of Twitter data, sentiment during Clinton’s speech was far more positive than during Republican nominee Donald Trump’s acceptance of the Republican Party’s nomination a week earlier.
Like the high-level male Democrats who spoke last night, Mrs Clinton tried to reach across the aisle and appeal to Republicans who may be wary of a Donald Trump presidency.
“In the end, it comes down to what Donald Trump doesn’t get: that America is great – because America is good”, Clinton said. Whether this social media activity will amount to a significant convention bump remains to be seen. Her campaign seeks to encompass everyone from socialist supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders to Republicans disillusioned by the erratic ways and juvenile insults of Trump.
BARACK OBAMA: I hope you don’t mind, Bill, but I was just telling the truth, man.
Clinton went through a list of ideals, which could garner support from both sides of the aisle, and then made a simple proposition: If you agree with these things, I’m your candidate.
Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a Republican-turned-independent media mogul, attacked Trump’s history of bankruptcies and lawsuits and called his presidential bid a “con”.
“Because when any barrier falls in America, it clears the way for everyone”, Clinton said.
“A person she has always liked is Michelle Obama”, Trump speechwriter Meredith McIver said, in a statement issued last week.
Viewership of Clinton’s speech on Fox News Channel was less than a third of what it was for Trump’s address, Nielsen said. “Moms who wear cover must be not intimidated in America”, he said on September 17, 2001. “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons”. That is the only way we cans turn our progressive platform into real change for America.
“We can not elect a man who exploits our fears of ISIS and other terrorists”, Biden said.

“Mom, Grandma would be so, so proud of you tonight”, Chelsea concluded her speech, tearing up as the crowd applauded an introductory video before her mother took the stage.
