Clinton vs. Trump: Their words about each other

Hillary Clinton on Thursday vowed to be the president for “all Americans” as she accepted the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination – the first woman to lead a major party in the race for the White House.

Their goal is to turn out the coalition of minority, female and young voters that twice elected President Barack Obama while offsetting expected losses among the white male voters drawn to Trump’s message. Instead, we will build an economy where everyone who wants a good job can get one.

The celebratory mood of this week’s Democratic national convention continued Friday as Clinton smiled and waved as she boarded her blue campaign bus, wrapped with the slogan “Stronger Together”.

On the other hand, a CBS poll out the same day showed no net bounce for Trump at all.

Last week, halfway through the Republican convention in Cleveland, I wrote that the GOP gathering was so shambolic that it might not give Donald Trump the “bounce” he needed. Trump also bashed Clinton as “owned by Wall Street” and claimed her “vision is a borderless world where working people have no power, no jobs, no safety”.

We checked the context. “I will gladly lend you my copy”. “Our military is a disaster”.

Clinton addressed the lingering doubts many Americans have about her, saying her family story should serve as a window into her candidacy and her worldview.

The real estate mogul did not appreciate Clinton knocking his ability to deal with a national campaign.

Simon Rosenberg, who runs a left-wing think tank, told reporters recently: “I think part of what’s going on in this election is that Americans are bored with politics, and at least Donald Trump is interesting”. Trump suits in Mexico, not MI. “Donald Trump, you’re asking Americans to trust you with their future”. Everything he makes he makes somewhere else besides America.

Khan: “Trump, have you even read the United States constitution?” Sounding more like a pundit than the subject of all the vitriol, he pronounced her speech “so average” and “full of clichés”.

Manafort countered that Clinton’s push for undecided voters is confusing because she’s offering to be “an Obama third term” while simultaneously vowing to “make a change”. “The truth is, through all these years of public service, the “service” part has always come easier to me than the “public” part”, she said. Polls over the next few weeks should tell us if that’s the case.

She raised the stakes for the November election, calling it a “moment of reckoning” for the US.

The Democrats’ stage paraded stars from President Obama and Bill Clinton to Meryl Streep and Katy Perry; the Republicans offered Newt Gingrich and Scott Baio.

MSNBC brought in 5.3 million total viewers, while NBC News topped network rivals CBS and ABC with 4.5 million viewers. “And an auto industry that just had its best year ever”.

Her efforts will focus particularly on places “that for too long have been left out and left behind, from our inner cities to our small towns, Indian Country to Coal Country”, she said.

Clinton also paid homage to former rival Sen. Bernie Sanders, using one of his favorite talking points to describe how she would pay for reforms. “But we are not afraid”, Clinton said. “Not because we resent success. Because when more than 90 percent of the gains have gone to the top 1 percent, that’s where the money is”.

Those numbers were once true in 2012.
