Mrs Clinton earlier made history by becoming America’s the first woman to be nominated for president by a major political party. But it highlighted the raw feelings still present at this convention.
That concluded with U.S. Sen.
At the end of Bill Clinton’s speech, the thousands of delegates were treated to a glimpse of their nominee via a live video feed from the Clinton home in NY.
“I do not understand how anyone can reconcile a claim to be in a superior moral political position with an intent to disregard LGBT rights when you vote”, he said.
In the speech, the two-term president recounted the beginnings of his relationship with the former Secretary of State, detailed her decades of advocacy work and extolled her drive in public service. “That’s what she does”. And she was staring back at me. “She was easy to underestimate with her soft manner, and she reminded me all over again of the truth of that old saying you should never judge a book by its covers”.
Former US President Bill Clinton has set out the case why his wife and “best friend” Hillary should lead the nation. You just have to decide which is which, my fellow Americans. The voice vote passed, but not without some “nays” from delegates.
Sanders request was met with very loud applause. Here’s everything you need to know. “She had thick blonde hair, big glasses, wore no makeup and she exuded this sense of strength and self-possession that I found magnetic”, Bill told the crowd at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia before going into detail about the beginning of their 40-year marriage. “Many of them were supportive of Hillary afterwards”.
Mahoning County Democratic Party Chairman David Betras of Boardman, a Clinton delegate, said the roll call vote culminating in Sanders acclamation “was surreal”. We just needed to give them some time.
Has that made it harder for you to move on?
Fulton said Clinton has the compassion to support grieving mothers and the courage to fight for gun legislation.
The protestors “realize if they’re outlandish, the media will cover them”, Betras said.
During the primaries, she renounced the deal she once called “the gold standard” under pressure from anti-trade rival Bernie Sanders. When she came back, I picked her up and said, ‘Remember that house you liked? The former president recalled that as a law student at Yale University in 1971, “I met a girl” named Hillary Rodham.
She will take on Donald Trump, who won the Republican nomination a week ago. But there are many honorable individuals who represent this party and I know that they’re going to make sure going forward, we’re more transparent and clearly remain objective in our support.
UPDATE 8 a.m.: Delegates had glowing praises for the speech given by former Pres. Bill Clinton on the second night of the Democratic National Convention.
