NY billionaire Donald Trump officially accepted the presidential nomination of the U.S. Republican Party Thursday night on the final day of the Republican National Convention.

For much of the speech, Twitter was pretty much a sh*tshow (from what I could tell). “As proud as I am of my mom, this election to me is fundamentally about my children, about Charlotte and Aidan”.
Several prominent Republicans, including the two former presidents Bush and 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney, have not endorsed Trump.
All she had to do was give Americans a chance to like her. Hillary often shares anecdotes about her grandchildren at campaign stops and has described being a grandmother as “truly like falling in love all over again”.
But while newspapers around America ran the groundbreaking news on their front pages, many of them accompanied the story with a photo of her husband.
“People ask me all the time, how does she do it?” She noted Trump’s lack of any policy agenda with the requisite scorn; had great sport with his temperamental insuitability for the presidency (“A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons”); and joined other speakers from throughout the convention in mocking his ignorance of what he does not know. “She also is amassing the support of women and thus drowning out Trump’s marginal lead among men”.
She has also taken on a more significant leadership role at the family’s Clinton Foundation.
The week’s most powerful validation came Wednesday night from President Barack Obama, her victorious primary rival in 2008.
We found the comment in Trump’s speech at the Republican convention right after he rattled off a list of criticisms of Clinton, including one about her practice keeping State Department emails on her private server. So many times in her life, she said, “I had to pick myself up” and move forward.
Ms. Clinton has fought and clawed and climbed her way to becoming the first woman ever to become the presidential nominee of a major political party in this country.
And she did, delivering a measured, inspirational message that drew a sharp contrast with her bombastic Republican opponent Donald Trump.
“How would your father do that, given it’s not something he’s spoken out?” Her service in the Obama administration was treated as a testimony to her toughness and experience rather than as a template for her priorities. “So I think the “how” question is super important – in politics as it is in life”.
Chelsea reaffirmed on Thursday that she and Ivanka have remained friends despite the bitter campaign between their parents.
“I certainly know that with her as our commander-in-chief, our foreign relations will not be reduced to a business transaction, I also know that our armed forces will not become an instrument of torture”, said Allen. Or at least, hate her less. “I just don’t want you to be shot by someone who shouldn’t have a gun in the first place”.
The previously unreported incident at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, or DCCC, and its potential ties to Russian hackers, are likely to heighten accusations, so far unproven, that Moscow is trying to meddle in the USA election to help Trump.

Clinton will speak of the strains that have been placed on U.S. society during the toxic year-long campaign that has featured heated rhetoric from Trump and other candidates.
