Hillary Clinton’s Convention Speech Falls Short of Donald Trump Ratings

She tried to take all of these concerns straight on, praising Sanders at the start of her address, embracing the party platform she had been pressured by progressives to adopt, and admitting her shortfalls at connecting in the past to voters.

Last night Hillary Clinton made history by becoming the first woman to accept the presidential nomination of any major political party in the US.

Clinton spoke at the Democratic National Convention and officially accepted the nomination.

An attack ad aired during the 2008 Democratic Primaries stated that Hillary Clinton will “say anything and do nothing”. Her speech offered an olive branch to those unsure about her possible presidency, pointing out that she alone cannot fix our problems – as Trump asserted he could.

“It’s not worth losing things like immigration reform and reproductive choices”, Singer said.

Cleo Dioletis, 69, told ABC News that the t-shirt wearers were alerted that their credentials would be pulled from the delegation if they showed any “disrespect”. So did many other Colorado delegates – a tribute to Sanders. Unite a leftward-shifting Democratic Party and expand its appeal. Most immediately, it was a bid to attract supporters of her former rival, Bernie Sanders. Presumably reflecting polling suggesting that many voters think she came from a privileged background (instead of being a product of the 1960s meritocracy), Clinton said, “The family I’m from, well, no one had their name on big buildings”.

“Ask yourself: Does Donald Trump have the temperament to be Commander-in-Chief?”

Dioletis is disappointed in Clinton’s involvement in the State Department email server issue – even if no charges will be filed. Trump describes the military as being weak, admires Vladmir Putin and Saddam Hussein, and supports abandoning commitments to countries that can not pay the United States for aid, such as certain North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies, Obama noted.

“I think it’s really hard for any of us to imagine what we can’t see”, Clinton added.

“There have been more young black men imprisoned, more brown bodies piling up across the globe, and I’m not sure at this point that a warmonger like Hillary Clinton is any better than a tyrant like Trump”, said Vowell.

So don’t let anyone tell you that our country is weak. “The truth is for all these ears of public service…. the service part has always come easier to me than the public part”.

In her eight years in the senate, just one of Hillary’s bills got enacted into law. “I sweat the details of policy”, she said. By tradition, the “out” party goes first in the convention dates – a first mover advantage to the challengers. Especially when he found out that he would be sharing a hotel room with three Bernie supporters.

The emails confirmed the suspicions of Sanders and his supporters, but the Vermont senator had already endorsed Clinton and delivered a supportive speech to the convention. A nod to that possibility was the presence of Coloradoans at the convention, including Gov. John Hickenlooper. In some ways, the video about Clinton presented before her speech – including footage of her speaking in a relaxed, kitchen-table setting – was more effective than the speech itself. You may remember that the previous week, Trump shouted out a rambling, hate-filled speech with pointed jabs full of his usual suspects: he’s going to build a wall, ban all muslims, make America great again, etc. Hillary took umbrage with that, and pointed out his weaknesses while driving home her own.
