PHILADELPHIA, July 29, (APP/AFP) – Hillary Clinton
on Thursday vowed to be the president for “all Americans” as she accepted the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination — the first woman to lead a major party in the race for the White House.
Her speech, which capped the party’s four-day convention in
Philadelphia, also included some savage takedowns of her Republican opponent Donald Trump.
Here are some key quotes from her address:
President for all
=================
“I will be a president for Democrats, Republicans and independents.
For the struggling, the striving and the successful. For those who vote for me and those who don’t. For all Americans.”
Service
=======
“The truth is, through all these years of public service, the
‘service’ part has always come easier to me than the ‘public’ part.”
Devil in the details
====================
“It’s true… I sweat the details of policy (…) Because it’s not
just a detail if it’s your kid, if it’s your family. It’s a big deal. And it should be a big deal to your president.”
— Clinton defends her reputation as a policy wonk
History
=======
“Tonight, we’ve reached a milestone in our nation’s march toward a
more perfect union: the first time that a major party has nominated a woman for president.”
