The image of Hillary Clinton standing on the world stage as the president of the United States tantalises Democrats who have just ended their convention in Philadelphia. “It set off alarm bells”, Clinton said, noting that the founding fathers in nearby Independence Hall created the US form of democracy.

“It’s been a year and nobody has given me a reason why we should embrace a trade deal”, he said.
“America is once again at a moment of reckoning”.
Clinton would excel at leadership, problem solving and bridge building, Lincoln said, adding, “She knows how to bring people together”. That is the country she is fighting for, she said.
“Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis”, she said. Under her dishonest plan: Taxes keep rising. For those who vote for me and those who don’t.

Clinton said Trump is offering America “empty promises” and what she called “bigotry and bombast”. Meanwhile, the Democrats actually had slightly more viewers for the first night of its convention than it did for the nominee’s speech, typically the highest-rated night of convention coverage.
