We finally heard from the lady in white herself, Hillary Clinton as she accepted the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. (For those of you who didn't watch, she did indeed wear a white pantsuit.) The former and possibly future first daughter opened up the night with stories about growing up with her mother.
Video from CBS.
Chelsea Clinton, in her speech, recalled times at the dinner table, when she was growing up, and just fond memories she has from her mother. She said that no matter the memories she has of her mother, that Hillary was always there for her.
It's very clear that they are still trying to make Hillary "seem human." But of course she's human, it's just that most people don't like this human, most people don't trust this human.

Hillary Clinton officially accepted the nominee in her speech, but not before she could attack Donald Trump and get to her own policies.
“Donald Trump says he wants to make America great again,” she said in a reference to his signature line. “Well, he could start by making things in America again,” she said.
One of Clinton's big selling points against Trump is that he said "I alone can fix it," suggesting he thought he can fix everything by himself. When Trump said this line, he then went on to talk about working with others to "make America great again." (factcheck.org)
Clinton even rejected Trumps border security proposal. She said "we will not build a wall." However as a senator, Clinton voted for and supported legislation to add more fencing along the border.
Clinton then began talking about the top 1%, sounding much like Bernie. She said that 90% of income gains have gone to the top 1%, but that is an outdated figure. It is 52%. (factcheck.org.)
Reporters on NBC even said this speech seemed more like a Bernie speech than a Hillary speech policy wise. They didn't believe she would have given this speech a year ago.
In my opinion, the Democratic National Convention seemed to have went better than the Republican Convention, over all. They had more well known celebrities, their convention was actually full, and Bill didn't try to plagiarize Michelle Obama's speech. The crowd was more involved as well.
