First lady draws sharp portrait of Trump, without naming him

“No, in this election and every election is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives”, she said amid cheers and applause. He’s a former Richmond mayor, Virginia governor and senator, and Democratic National Committee chairman, but he’s never run nationally before. She’s been a reluctant campaigner in the past, and a Clinton campaign spokesman says they’re eager to have her on the trail “as her schedule permits”.

Aside from her convention appearance, Mrs. Obama has barely engaged in the 2016 campaign and has resisted positioning herself as a distinct political figure. Trump, who campaigned Tuesday in North Carolina, mocked the former president’s speech in advance, calling him “over-rated”.

Obama painted a picture of her husband’s first secretary of state as a competent, steely politician who does not make “snap decisions” or judgments.

And you weren’t left wondering who she was referring to when she talked about steering her two daughters through what she called, an unusual life in the spotlight.

“FLOTUS” is the first lady of the United States, and “POTUS” is the president. New front… THE LADY IS HER CHAMP.

His vice president, Joe Biden, also addresses the convention on Wednesday, in a reminder to some Democrats that the candidate they wanted this year was the one they couldn’t have.

The convention stage is a platform that Obama is familiar with by now, delivering high-profile speeches in both the 2008 and 2012 conventions for her husband, speeches that drew heavily on the Obama family’s personal story. “Bernie!” In contrast, Obama said, Clinton supported Barack Obama at the 2008 convention.

Clinton’s campaign, citing a cybersecurity firm hired to investigate the leak, blamed Russian Federation and suggested the goal was to benefit Trump’s campaign.

And about how the Republicans spent their Convention trying to tell viewers about all the bad things now going on in the country.

Her girls were 7 and 10 years old when they first went off to school from the White House in SUVs and with men carrying guns, she said.

President Clinton spoke after three hours of testimonials from lawmakers, advocates, celebrities and citizens who argued otherwise.

She’ll take a page from Trump’s book in doing so.

Clinton aides believe a focus on policy is another way to rally Sanders’ supporters, especially those who threatened to stay home or vote for Republican Trump.

“Barack knows the American Dream because he’s lived it and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we’re from, or what we look like, or who we love”, she said in 2012 in Charlotte. This year, he – and she – were criticized after he met privately with Attorney General Loretta Lynch in the middle of the FBI’s investigation into her email use at the State Department. We as parents are their most important role models.

She would still gavel the convention open and closed as is the duty of the Chairman/woman of the RNC or DNC.

Clinton’s landmark achievement saturated the roll call with emotion and symbols of women’s long struggle to break through political barriers.

This is one of the many balancing acts the Clinton campaign has had to perform this week – how much to build up Clinton while simultaneously trying to tear down Trump?
