With a superbly written, adequately delivered acceptance speech Thursday night, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton closed out a nearly flawless party convention in Philadelphia by pitilessly attacking her Republican rival and laying out a liberal agenda for her administration.
The political rock around Clinton's neck is that dauntingly high percentages of the voting public neither like nor trust her. The trust deficit is impossible to make up in a single speech and may never close during the campaign, but with her emphasis on her longtime commitment to children's issues and her pleasant if ritualistic invocation of her role as a wife, mother and now grandmother, she came off as likable enough, as they say.

Trump will destroy Hillary. Are you kidding, all she can do is recite things from memory. She can't even take a live press conference in over 230 days....what type of wimp does that?
People keep applying the Washington rules to things...the debate will be a circus....and that is is what it is taking unfortunately to get the folks in Washington to listen....
Keep dreaming. That first debate should put an end to Clinton.
Go Trump!
exactly. here 'takedown' was just brimming with hate, you know, if she was going to try and convince me to back her, she should have just discussed politics and issues and left the mud sling and the gutter nonsense out of her speeches.
I think many more people are taking note why she is obviously avoiding open news conferences and one scripted speech in a screeching tone ain't gonna cut it to persuade people....but then again, never underestimate the stupidity of the electorate who love speeches over this lady's long term record/her actions.
"Sure, Clinton is willing to take questions from the journalists and news outlets she selects and from the people at her events who generally support her, but she won't submit to the unpredictable nature of a news conference, where she would face inquiries on who knows what, from who knows whom."
"The Post reported the last actual press conference Clinton held was the one in December. The article even included a time ticker since her last press conference, which just went up to 236 days and growing over the course of Wednesday hours after Trump’s press event. This figure means Clinton has not held a press conference in well over a half year."
The lady seems to be hiding from the press/open press conferences.....why? What's she hiding? She wants to be president and is hiding from the press?
Keep dreaming. That first debate should put an end to Clinton.
Go Trump!
I don't think Trump will show up for the debates. He'll find some excuse for not going and his fans will eat it up.
