Hillary Clinton Congress. Main

Reaganism, single America, the fight against Trump. And Clinton speech (as briefly as possible)

On July 28, the Congress of the US Democratic Party ended in Philadelphia, at which Hillary Clinton was officially nominated by presidential candidate. The congress, like the entire pre -election race, will definitely go down in the history of the United States - so far none of the largest parties have put forward a woman to the president. Medusa talks about the main events of the congress and briefly retells the final election speech of Hillary Clinton.

Without scandals and sensations. In general, the Democrats Congress turned out to be much less noticeable than a similar event of the Republicans a week earlier - no betrayals from associates, plagiarism and scandalous statements in speeches. Even the “drain” of the correspondence of the Democratic National Committee, although it provoked a wave of publications in the press and talking about the Kremlin’s involvement in hacking, but did not have a significant influence on the work of the congress. The “merged” correspondence among the Democrats was hardly spoke, except for the nods towards the conspiracy of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Bernie Sanders had every reason to quarrel by the Democrats and Hillary Clinton personally after the publication of letters, which openly said about the party’s intention to harm him in the primaries, but made a speech in support of Clinton and called for vote in the elections only for her.

Democrats stole the summons of the Republicans. In general, as VOX notes , the agenda of the Democratic Party began to resemble republican-family values, a strong army, positive patriotism and even once sounded at the congress, quotes of president-republican Ronald Reagan about a “shining city on a hill”. The Republican Party with Trump at the head of this agenda replaced the propaganda and the conviction of supporters that only Trump can fix everything. The democrats took advantage of the moment to adjust their agenda, borrowing a positive rhetoric.

Everything is against Trump. The main theme of the congress was the presidential candidate from the Republicans Donald Trump. He was talked about in almost all speeches, both directly criticizing the billionaire, and indirectly. The most soulful was the performance of Hizra Khan, the father of the American soldier Humayun Khan, who died in Iraq in 2006. Humayun was a Muslim and went to serve after the attacks on September 11; In the USA, after death, he was revered as a national hero. Hizr Khan first invited Trump to read the Constitution, hinting at the illegality of the billionaire’s proposal to close the entrance to the country to Muslims, and then said: “Hillary Clinton was right when she called my son the best of the Americans. If Donald Trump made decisions, my son would never have been in the USA. ”

The current president of the United States Barack Obama also walked along Trump. He called the billionaire a “homegrown demagogue” and stated that people like Trump threaten American values. Against Trump, even a supporter of the Republican Doug Elmetts, former speaker Ronald Reagan, opposed . “I knew Ronald Reagan. I worked for Ronald Reagan. Donald Trump, you are not Ronald Reagan. With a shudder, I can imagine where he [Trump] can lead our great nation, ”he said. After the speechwriter’s performance, the Republican Party’s website “Dug Elmetts: not very Republican” was published , which said that over the past 12 years, Elmetts had donated amounts from 100 to $ 1,000 to the election campaign of politicians from the Democratic Party.

Supporters of Bernie Sanders organized protests. During the congress, the Bernie or Bust campaign divorced the Bernie or Bust campaign (in the free translation - Bernie or to hell), dissatisfied with Hillary Clinton on the primaries. Part of Sanders supporters screamed disapprovingly during the performances in support of Hillary Clinton, some refused to applaud or defiantly left the hall where the congress took place. Protest shares took place on the streets of Philadelphia; In general, Sanders supporters, which were categorically dissatisfied with Clinton, were few, but they were noticeable enough for the former Secretary of State to mention them in its election speech and promise to take into account the interests of this part of the electorate. Comedian Sarah Silverman, the active supporter of Bernie Sanders, also did not bypass the topic of protests at the time of her performance. “Can I tell all the activists“ Bernie or to hell ”? You are just ridiculous, ”she said.

Hillary Clinton's election speech. Brief retelling.

Thank you, thanks to your daughter Chelsea, thanks to my husband Bill. Bernie Sanders - thank you too, youth for him. Supporters of Sanders - I heard you, your problems are our problems. We are in Philadelphia, where our nation was born. Remember the story - we always listened to each other and agreed. The founding fathers said: we are stronger when we are together. Now America is threatened with disunity. Trump wants to divide us - both with each other and with the rest of the world.

We are not afraid. We will not build a wall. Immigrants are benefits for the economy. We will not forbid any religion and will fight terrorism with the allies. Much has to be done. Salaries from the crisis are not growing, Washington is paralyzed, there are many threats abroad and at home. But see what we have: the strongest army, the most tolerant and generous youth, the most progressive businessmen and the most reliable values. America is freedom, equality, justice and possibilities. Do not believe the one who says that everything will correct. Americans - we will fix everything together.

I am from a simple family of methodologists, where everyone was for each other. America is the same family. I will be president for democrats, republicans, independent, suffering, starving and successful. For all Americans. I am happy to be the first woman-candidate. Women should have equal opportunities. Democrats are a party of workers. America flourishes when the middle class flourishes. You have not heard anything like this from Trump. I have a plan, but he does not. I will protect partners in NATO from Russia. Our army is a national treasure. Trump can be caught by one tweet, how can a nuclear weapon be entrusted to such a person?

The whole world is looking at us. We choose the fate of America.
