President Barack Obama’s best comments at the Democratic National Convention

Hillary Clinton, the wife of former president Bill Clinton, will accept the party’s White House nomination in a speech to end the convention on Thursday night. “We will rise to the challenge, just as we always have”.

Democrats argued all week from the convention stage that the NY billionaire was temperamentally unfit for the job. Forty-four percent of likely Pennsylvania voters view Clinton favorably, compared with 48 percent who view her unfavorably; for Trump, those figures are 33 percent favorable and 57 percent unfavorable.

Acknowledging Americans’ anxieties, Clinton is vowing to create economic opportunities in inner cities and struggling small towns. Given the turbulence and terrorism across the globe, she said Americans are “looking for steady leadership”.

US President Barack Obama has implored voters to help continue his legacy by carrying Hillary Clinton to victory at the polls in November. Here’s how: “because she never ever forgets who she’s fighting for”.

For Clinton, the stakes are enormous.

She’s locked in a tight general election contest with Republican Donald Trump, an unconventional candidate and political novice. And finally, he made it clear that he would be “passing the baton” of the Oval Office to Hillary only because of his sheer grace.

Trump tells Fox News Channel in an interview broadcast Thursday that “I guess I take it a little bit personally, but you can’t let it get you down”.

Clinton pivoted to the left during the primaries and fended off self-described Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders.

And CNN will have 24-hour coverage of the convention from Philadelphia. The appearance of him encouraging Russian Federation to meddle in the presidential campaign enraged Democrats and Republicans, even as he dismissed suggestions from Obama and other Democrats that Moscow already was intervening on his behalf.

The former first lady, NY senator and secretary of state has been the frequent target of Republicans during her more than three decades in national politics, from the Whitewater investigation to the inquiry into the 2012 Benghazi, Libya, attacks and her use of a private email server for government business at the State Department. “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons”, Clinton said.

A studious wonk who prefers policy discussions to soaring oratory, Clinton has acknowledged she struggles with the flourishes that seem to come naturally to Obama and her husband. One of her speech themes, aides said, would be the lessons from her book “It Takes a Village”, where she wrote about the impact a community can have on children.

Democratic vice presidential candidate, Sen. “Yelling, screaming and calling each other names is not going to do it”.

Delivering a passionate case for his one-time rival, Obama declared Clinton not only can defeat the “deeply pessimistic vision” of Republican Donald Trump but also realize the “promise of this great nation”. “America isn’t about ‘Yes he will.’ It’s about ‘Yes we can'”.

The Democratic nominee has struggled in this election – and elections past – with the personal aspect of her character.

Division aside, Thursday will be a historic night for Clinton.

And before that, Obama plagiarized the line from George W. Bush who, after 9/11, said, “That’s not the America I know” about women who cover their heads being afraid to go outside.
