Clinton, Kaine head to Ohio’s capital, Trump on their heels
That’s how many conservatives felt, at least, watching their opponent’s pageant this week in Philadelphia.
Voters said they’d have liked to have heard more about the economy from the Democrats, and most – 54 percent – said they didn’t hear enough about changing Washington. Republican strategist Rich Galen asked on Twitter. Where has the GOP gone?
As Democratic delegates chanted “USA!”
“The Republican Convention was like a twisted and negative tour”. The most innovative entrepreneurs.
“There is no doubt in my mind that every election in our democracy is important in its own way, but I can’t think of an election that is more important, certainly in my lifetime”, Clinton told the rally at Temple. “And the diversity of people who are were speaking” – speakers included people who were killed in mass shootings, by police, and police themselves – “shows that nobody is safe until we’re all safe”. They will emphasise that he does not represent Republican values.
Election Day is now 100 days away, and Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are fanning out across hotly contested battleground states that could decide the election.
So most of conservative media and the GOP spent the week rooting for Russian Federation, and now the Democrats get to rally around the flag. “Democrats were for you”. You have now viewed your allowance of free articles. Clinton is targeting North Carolina, which went for Obama in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012, as a way to narrow Trump’s path. Trump sees MI and Wisconsin, states Obama carried twice, as possible pickups that would scramble Clinton’s calculus.
John Podhoretz, a former speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan, tweeted that Obama’s address “could have been a Reagan speech”.
“I don’t know where the boundaries are”.
“On the penultimate night of the Democratic National Convention, the Democrats made a calculated play for disaffected Republican voters”, McCain wrote on the Medium.com website. And third terms are historically very hard to get.
When Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson is included in the poll, Clinton’s lead grows to 5 points (46%-41%).

He mocks Clinton’s experience as a member of Obama’s war Cabinet, labeling her legacy at the State Department as “death, destruction, terrorism and weakness”.
Long before Donald had the chutzpah to make it his actual campaign slogan, the Republican Party was promising to Make America Great Again.
At the conventions, each campaign took a clear populist turn. “U.S.!”, the former commander of United States forces in Afghanistan stressed American military power and issued a battle cry against ISIS, declaring that the terror group will be beaten and the homeland will be protected. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
He trashed Clinton’s speech as “average”, called her a liar and promised to end the migration of Syrian refugees. He abandoned his modest dismissals of the “lock her up” chants his supporters have aimed at Hillary Clinton. Clinton’s instinctive caution makes her look like a status-quo candidate – and this is not a status-quo election. Several immigrants took the stage, including a Medal of Honor recipient, and Khizr Khan, an American Muslim who spoke movingly about his son, who died while serving in the military in Iraq.
“You have sacrificed nothing”.
Throughout the convention, Clinton and other speakers offered a direct rebuttal to her Republican rival’s insistence on American decline by emphasizing the positive force Americans can be at home and overseas.
“The Democrats know they’re probably going to lose a share of white working-class voters” who are responding to Mr. Trump’s message said Christopher Borick, a pollster and political scientist at Muhlenberg College.
