GOP speakers to focus on Benghazi as convention opens

“And let’s admit it, there is clear evidence that African-Americans are disproportionately killed in police incidents compared to any other group”. Deciphering the poll’s results, Clinton has the advantage among African Americans (84 to 7 percent), voters ages 18-29 (55 to 32 percent) and women (52 to 37 percent).

Throughout the weekend’s NAACP conference, attendees worked toward bolstering that mantra through workshops, panels and seminars – as well as hearing addresses from dozens of leaders, including Clinton and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. “Where would our democracy be without courageous people willing to do that?”

“Clinton still leads, but Trump is closing the margin”.

Clinton was joined on stage by US Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, and gave a nod to the Minnesota political icon in the audience, former Vice President Walter Mondale.

“She strengthened national security, championed human rights and opportunities for women and girls across the world”, Dukes said. They’re trying to tell us. We can’t ignore that, we can’t wish it away.

“And I will defend your right to organize and bargain collectively, and we will not stand for attempts to privatize public services!”

“We have to change”.

The Toledo NAACP is already working on numerous issues Mrs. Clinton discussed, Mr. Wood said, citing the chapter’s dedication to increasing chapter membership and voter registration this year, as well as ongoing conversation about police relations in the city. But it can only happen if we build trust and accountability. “That means end-to-end reform in our criminal justice system, not half measures, but a full commitment with real follow-through”.

Clinton also pointed that a priority for the next President of the United States must include making a commitment to fight for reform that would hold everyone, including police departments, accountable for actions of misbehavior.

“And you know what?” she added to cheers. “This is too important”.

Clinton once again accused presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump of not being up to the job of president. The poll results suggest that Clinton’s use of personal email for government business and her handling of classified information have not damaged her support among likely voters. “But there are a few things we’d like”, said Sen.

“She sure is”, Smith responded.

Retired Lt. General Michael Flynn, whom Trump considered for vice president, will also speak Monday night, and is expected to criticize Obama’s counter-terror strategy.

The night was characterized more by the dangers of a Clinton administration than the vision for a Trump presidency. Clinton told the crowd of educators and union officers. “He will make American stronger, not weaker”. “America – the greatest country God ever created”.
