“For the past year, many people made the mistake of laughing off Donald Trump’s comments – excusing him as an entertainer just putting on a show”, she said.
“That should set off alarm bells for all of us”. Clinton asked. “Isn’t he forgetting troops on the front lines?” “Are there people who are still emotional and wish we didn’t get 3.7 million more votes?” And it might appeal to some of the suburban swing voters the Democrats are targeting: people who are turned off by radical proposals and radical change. Entrepreneurs who see opportunity in every problem? The U.S. Military announced that U.S. airstrikes have killed 14 civilians in Iraq and Syria within the past year.
And her take? “We heard Donald Trump’s answer last week at his convention”.
Clinton was introduced by her daughter, Chelsea, who called her mother “a listener and a doer”. Rocked by a series of scandals, she is now about as unpopular with voters as her Republican rival. Clinton began articulating her education policy ideas at union conventions this month and Republican leaders championed school choice at their national convention last week. She recounted a story of visiting homes while researching why more children were counted in the Census than were enrolled in school.

“Through all these years of public service, the service has always come easier to me than the public part”.

D’Angora, who worked on LGBTQ outreach for the Clinton campaign, is a huge fan.
In an hour-long address, she laid out an optimistic plan to improve the USA economy, stressing that “my primary mission as president will be to create more opportunity and more good jobs with rising wages”.
While Sanders tried to mollify his followers, many remained vocal about their discontent with the party and their hatred of Clinton.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday in Philadelphia that Trump’s fight against “Washington insiders” was prone to turn off some Republicans.
During Clinton’s nominating speech, Trump blasted supporters with 15 anti-Clinton emails – most arguing she embraces free trade, open borders and special interest groups. “Your cause is our cause”.
But we don’t need any more data to definitively state that this country is divided – to such an extent, in fact, that those in attendance in Cleveland and Philadelphia were operating in different realities. And unlike in the primary process, when we had the luxury of consecutive actual voting results to decipher and pick apart, the American people now have only one more chance to truly demonstrate their will in this election – on November 8. “We wrote it together, now let’s go out and make it happen together”.
“You are asking Americans to trust you with their future”, he challenged Trump.
On their biggest stage yet, Democrats have brandished what they believe is their most powerful weapon against Donald Trump: His own words.
In 1995, she declared at a U.N. World Conference of women, “human rights are women’s rights”. Well you know a great Democratic president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, came up with the ideal rebuke to Trump more than 80 years ago during a much more perilous time. “We can not elect a man who exploits our fears”. But she is best known for improving the lives of children and women. She added, “The most hard decisions I have made in my life were to stay married to Bill and to run for the Senate from NY”.

When any barrier falls in America, it clears the way for everyone. “After all, when there are no ceilings, the sky’s the limit”.
