Someone said that elections are won in poetry and prose is governed. If Hillary Clinton will be president of the United States, will be no exception to this rule. At the finish of the Convention did not even try to match the two prominent speakers who spoke in the previous days - her husband Bill and President Barack Obama - only spoke his: no fireworks, but firmly, confidently, clearly and consistently calculating plans for the presidency. Almost entirely in prose. And within interludes attacked rival.

- Imagine Donald Trump in the Oval Office at the time of a serious international crisis ... Man, which can provoke an entry on Twitter, should not be entrusted nuclear weapons - He complied with. - He wants us to be afraid of the future and ourselves. Well, the great Democratic president Franklin Delano Roosevelt 80 years ago said something that fits perfectly as a response to Trump: "The only thing to fear is fear."

Inserts poetic tudzież uplifting also be appearing, but rarely. - I'm standing here as the daughter of my mother and the mother of my daughter! - Said candidate. - I am happy for all the grandmothers and little girls, and all the women among them; for boys and men too, because when the social barriers disappear, it opens the way for all. Only the sky is our limit. So Let's go, until all 161 million women and girls across America will not get the chance they deserve.

Few people outside najzacieklejszymi enemies undermines the powers of Hillary, but it has a huge problem image enhancement. More than two-thirds of Americans do not have to trust it (similarly bad results in opinion polls obtained Trump). The worst pick up her young people - in the primaries almost 90 percent. Democratic voters under the age of 30 voted for Senator Bernie Sanders. In his speech, Clinton has made several attempts to persuade them to each other.

- Thank you, Bernie Sanders - he said at the very beginning. - Bernie, your campaign has inspired millions of Americans, especially young people, who with a big heart involved in primaries. All your supporters in the hall and around the country I want to say: You have been heard! Your case is our case. The country needs your ideas, energy and enthusiasm. Only you can, based on the manifest software Democrats, who wrote together (ie. With Bernie), to change America!

- Bernie and I will work together to college was free for the middle class. I will liberate the debts of millions of young people who are already repaying student loans - promised Hillary.

Sometimes, though did not mention him by name, said "Sanders" - Probably many of you are wondering where the money is going to fulfill the promises. Now, Wall Street, big corporations and the super-rich will pay a fair fate in taxes! Not because they envy their success. But more than 90 percent. income generated by its all Americans now goes to 1 percent. the richest. We will go the trail of money!

In addition to Clinton in the last day of the Democratic convention distinguished himself Khizr Khan, an American Muslim, whose son joined the Army after the attacks of September 11, 2001. And was killed in Iraq. Khan criticized Trump for the announcement that you have to close the borders of the United States for the Muslims and for the promises of construction of the wall on the Mexican border.

- Mr. Trump, you want that the Americans have entrusted you your future, but if you ever read the US constitution? - He asked Khan and pulled from his jacket pocket a copy. - We are happy to lend your copy! Please look at the terms "freedom" and "equal legal protection." Have you ever been at the military cemetery in Arlington? There you will find the graves of all faiths, races and genders. And you? The Lord did not pay anything for this country ...

At this point, many people in the hall Wells Fargo had tears in their eyes.
