But it was tempered with the active assistance of Clinton’s primary rival Bernie Sanders, who offered a strong prime-time endorsement.

On Thursday Clinton’s daughter Chelsea described Hillary as a mother who took breaks from politics to read her “Goodnight Moon” and a grandmother Facetimes and reads “Chugga Chugga Choo Choo” to Chelsea’s daughter.

Trump is also focusing on OH and Pennsylvania, as states where he might make headway with blue-collar white men.

Democrats contrasted their optimistic, policy-laden message with the dark vision and lack of specifics that marked Trump’s speech during the Republican convention a week earlier. “I am not telling you everything is peachy keen”, Clinton said at an event on Friday in Philadelphia. Clinton, who aides say spent weeks working on her address, saw the speech as a major opportunity to answer what her husband called the “cartoon alternative”.

“We beat her by millions on television”. Fox had 3 million viewers for Clinton.

Polls find that most Americans question Clinton’s honesty.

And the candidate wants to push that message with the interview.

“It was kind of midnight in America”, Kaine said of Trump’s speech.

“Here’s the sad truth: There is no other Donald Trump”, Clinton said. The effort to portray Trump as unfit for the presidency carried over, too.

For those of you out there who are just getting to know Tim Kaine, you will soon understand why the people of Virginia keep promoting him from city council to mayor, to governor and now senator and he will make our whole country proud as our next vice president.

On Thursday, Michael Bloomberg, the former Republican mayor of NY, spoke to the Democratic audience and received a positive reaction.

“I knew Ronald Reagan. God help us”, Bloomberg said.

Tucson resident Joseline Mata, a Hillary Clinton delegate from the beginning, was crying in the stands of the Democratic National Convention Thursday as Clinton accepted the party’s nomination, the first woman in history to do so.

Republicans are not only skeptical that Clinton’s strategy won’t work, but they argue it could backfire if it compels liberal Democrats to vote for Jill Stein, the Green Party’s nominee for president, or Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate.

It is plausible that a similar effect among Democratic voters may be hitting Clinton now when presented with the option of “Neither”, he said.

There’s some polling to give them comfort.

And Trump’s comment Friday came just days after he said he “didn’t like” the saying and said it was “a shame” that his supporters were chanting it.
