7. Isn't he (Trump) forgetting our teachers who change lives, our entreprenuers who see possibility?
8. Americans don't say 'I alone can fix it', we say 'We'll fix it together'

10. Simply caring is not enough. You have to change hearts and laws to drive real progress
11. Donald Trump spoke for 70 'odd' minutes at his convention and he didn't offer any solutions
12. We are dealing with determined enemies that must be defeated
13. A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man you can trust with nuclear weapons: Hillary Clinton about Donald Trump
14. We can't afford to have a president who is in the pocket of gun lobby
15. I'm not here to take away your guns.I just don't want you to be shot by someone who shouldn't have a gun in the first place: Hillary Clinton.
