Bernie supporters in Philly say they’re voting Trump

“To the “Bernie or Bust” people”, said comedian Sarah Silverman at the podium, “you’re being ridiculous!”

With chants of “Hell no DNC, we won’t vote for Hillary” and “Lock her up”, the protesters made it clear they would not be casting their votes for Hillary Clinton. In the average of national polls compiled by RealClearPolitics, Trump was three points behind Hillary Clinton before Cleveland; now he’s one point ahead. “She’s one of my heroes because she’s really smart and she’s done a lot to help the world and I really think she will make a good president”. If you believe we should expand Social Security and protect a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions – join us!

Part of the issue is Clinton went into the convention unexpectedly with a divided party.

As a newly elected Democratic National Committeewoman in 1988, she wasn’t impressed with Bill Clinton’s speech at the convention – and said so on national television. “Especially in places that for too long have been left out and left behind”, Clinton said.

The text tells the delegates the Clinton campaign asked her delegates on Monday to be respectful to Sanders when he spoke to the convention, so asked delegates to “extend the same respect” to Clinton.

“Instead, help Donald Trump hold her accountable, call out her lies and fight back against her nasty attacks”.

Hillary is not the only speaker, though. Hillary Clinton sought to draw a sharp contrast between herself and Donald Trump as she ticked off one policy difference after another with her Republican opponent.

“The camera is just capturing you scolding people”.

A biographical film of Clinton, narrated by Morgan Freeman, had shown a picture of her mother as a child – she was a tiny thing – and you could imagine this young child, all alone and frightened, having to walk out at night and get food. And then I about collapsed in my chair.

And for Clinton, the private email server that she used when she was secretary of state is a mistake that she can’t shrug off: Republicans say if you can’t trust her to handle classified messages, why should you trust her to run the country?

This was the first time she addressed the DNC as a political candidate, an outgoing first lady running for an open U.S. Senate seat from NY that fall. Still, some Clinton and Trump backers would never consider switching sides.

People responded more favorably to Hillary Clinton’s convention speech than they did to Donald Trump’s, according to a CNN/ORC instant poll that compared audience reactions for both. “The America I know is decent and generous”.

“See, I thought she might do something like that”. The tour will take them through Rust Belt hubs like Pittsburgh and Youngstown. It takes a village to get through life – and to get nominated for the presidency.

“I had no idea”, he said.
