Obama Passes Baton To Clinton, Imploring Nation To Elect Her
Clinton criticized Trump throughout her almost hour-long speech, and defined her policy agenda largely against that of her Republican opponent and his “bigotry and bombast”. Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis.
But Cummings says he’s not upset about it because he’s a veteran of civil rights protests and understands the passion that drove the mostly young delegates to shout over his speech Monday.
Clinton continued, “Together we can once again widen the circle of opportunity for all Americans, we can once again transcend our differences and divisions, we can once again give our children a safer and more secure future”. She will remain under continuous observation.
Obama’s active role in the race to succeed him has little recent precedent. Stronger Together’ is…not just a slogan for our campaign.
“This year isn’t just about electing the first woman president; it’s about electing this woman president”, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards said. “Donald Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims”, he said.
And he targeted Trump’s signature promise to “make America great again”.
“She’s the best darn change-maker I’ve ever met in my entire life”, he said.
As she prepared to deliver her speech, sources familiar with the matter said the FBI is investigating a cyber intrusion at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) that may be related to an earlier hack at the Democratic National Committee. The most powerful validation came Wednesday night from Obama, her victorious primary rival in 2008. They recognize that Republicans, as well as many Democrats, have questions about Clinton’s character but hope to ease those concerns. “Let me ask you, have you even read the United States Constitution?”
She also addressed national security issues and reiterated why Americans need to come together.
“The choice isn’t even close”, Obama said.
Trump’s own running mate appeared to try to temper the nominee’s assertion.
“I will not represent a party that commits election fraud”.
– I believe that our economy isn’t working the way it should because our democracy isn’t working the way it should. “Well, his creditors, his contractors, his laid-off employees, his ripped-off students did just that, and they all got hurt. Donald Trump, you are no Ronald Reagan”, Elmets said.
PHILADELPHIA-In the makeshift campground that is home to a committed group of protesters, at least for the duration of the Democratic National Convention, grievances abound.
It was only after she had underscored the danger she sees in Trump that she really turned to explaining herself.
The billionaire was alternately described as a carnival barker, an egomaniac and “a hateful con man”, in the words of Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
“When any barrier falls in America, it clears the way for everyone”, the 68-year-old Clinton said in a speech that capped the four-day nominating convention.
She’ll take a page from Trump’s book in doing so.
“Trump is a fraud”, he said.
Amid charges by Republicans that the optimistic mood of the Democratic convention has ignored the threat from ISIS and terrorism, Clinton was specific about the global national security threats that loom – though she didn’t use the term Islamic terrorism as the GOP repeatedly has called for.
“Trump says he wants to run the nation like he runs his business”, Bloomberg said. One tabloid splashed her shoes across the front page with the headline: “Heel, boys!”
Recognizing that the convention is traditionally a moment when voter sentiments can shift dramatically, he wanted to focus on Clinton rather than his own administration. As Sean Trende tweeted today: “Hillary is unpopular enough that she has made this basically generic R v generic D. Unreal”.
It is such an honour to be here tonight, she said.
But despite the groundbreaking nature of Bill Clinton’s possible new role, Carl Sferrazza Anthony, a historian with the National First Ladies’ Library, says the former president has already created a model for himself.
Former Oklahoma Sen. Fred Harris said it was important for his party’s nominee to showcase the “original Hillary Clinton, before she became so guarded”. “You can’t overwhelm the candidate so she doesn’t seem like her own person”, Murphy said. “America isn’t about ‘yes he will.’ It’s about ‘yes we can'”.
The president worked through half a dozen drafts and rehearsed the remarks out loud at the White House on Tuesday.
Obama will argue Clinton’s case Wednesday night in a prime-time address at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
Clinton took the stage to roaring applause from flag-waving delegates on the final night of the Democratic convention, relishing her nomination as the first woman to lead a major USA political party.
