After convention, Clinton and Kaine to visit Ohio

The VFW National Convention is not open to the public.

Calling Hillary Clinton’s selection of Sen.

“It’s slightly unique for Clinton and Trump because they’re incredibly well-known”, Pfeiffer said. “That will be an important thing”, he said. Perhaps most troubling for the Clinton supporters gathering in Philadelphia this week: 68% now say Clinton is not honest and trustworthy, her worst rating on that measure in CNN/ORC polling. Trump’s new edge rests largely on increased support among independents, 43% of whom said that Trump’s convention in Cleveland left them more likely to back him, while 41% were dissuaded.

However, the release by Wikileaks of approximately 20,000 hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee – which show party officials favoring Clinton over primary rival Bernie Sanders – will now compete with the narrative Democrats had hoped to present. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., holds up a sign call calling for Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee to be fired, Sunday, July 24, 2016, in Philadelphia.

It’s unlikely the Democrats will grab back control the House, but should Trump prove to be so historically catastrophic a candidate that he drags down other Republicans with him and leave the party reeling, then Clinton and the Democrats will be well-positioned to take advantage. While Trump and his supporters spent much of the week decrying Clinton, the Democrats should instead focus on their own candidates, said Sean Darcy, a Democratic political consultant from Belmar. She’s not going to get our vote unless she adopts that to our platform.

Finally, Clinton faces a problem that some of her aides acknowledge may be insoluble between now and November: her trust deficit. The emotional impact of learning about her mother’s mistreatment as an orphan was formative.

“I know that this is the first time that one of our major parties has nominated a woman”, Clinton said.

Despite Democratic criticism of the Republican convention’s message as divisive, the percentage who say Trump will unite the country rather than divide it has increased to 42%, compared with 34% pre-convention.

“People want to know that the next four years is not going to be a dumpster fire”, he said.

The reaction among a random sampling of visiting veterans at the Charlotte Convention Center this morning revealed some diversity of opinion about the two. These include suburban college- and non-college-educated women. In the new poll they break 62% for Trump to 23% for Clinton, while whites who hold at least a bachelor’s degree have actually tilted more pro-Clinton since the convention (from a 40% to 40% split pre-convention to a 44% Clinton to 39% Trump divide now). “Those experiences should allow Clinton to persuade voters that the first-term senator could serve as president if necessary”, Torry writes. That year Al Gore and George W. Bush both boosted their numbers by an identical 8 points post-convention before ultimately battling all the way to the Supreme Court.

And Clinton heads into Philadelphia with a political partner.

“The stars of the Democratic Party are all on board”, said Patti Solis Doyle, a Clinton 2008 campaign manager. Sanders and first lady Michelle Obama will also take the stage. On Inauguration Day, Clinton will be 69.

Her first challenge is an old one: Can she make herself seem likable enough for Americans to want her in their living rooms?

Philadelphia speakers include Anastasia Somoza, who was born with cerebral palsy and spastic quadriplegia and interned in Clinton’s Senate office; Karla Ortiz, an American citizen whose parents are undocumented and fear deportation; and Lauren Manning, one of the most severely injured survivors of the September 11 terror attacks whom Clinton helped to secure the medical care.

In addition to the videos, there will be musical performances and entertainment aimed at creating a celebratory mood and drawing more eyeballs. Expect pop singer Demi Lovato, actress Lena Dunham, actor Tony Goldwyn, former NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, former NBA player and gay rights activist Jason Collins and actresses America Ferrara, Eva Longoria and Debra Messing.

There’s little question that the lengthy investigations into the 2012 attack on a USA facility in Benghazi, Libya, and her use of a private email account and server as secretary of state have taken a toll her approval ratings.

What he said: “There’s evidence Russian state actors broke into the DNC, stole those emails, and there are experts saying they are releasing these emails for the goal of helping Donald Trump”, Mook told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview that aired Sunday on “State of the Union”.

Regarding this second quote, the latter part of the statement is somewhat disingenuous considering Kaine’s past support for legislation such as Hyde’s law, which restricts government funds from being used for abortion. People believe that about Trump.
