ByJuliePaceandRobert Furlow The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA Promising Americans a steady hand, Hillary Clinton cast herself Thursday night as a unifier for divided times, an expe- rienced leader steeled for a volatile world. She aggres- sively challenged Republi- can Donald Trump's abil- ity to do the same. "Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis," Clinton said as she accepted the Democratic nomination for president. "A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nu- clear weapons." Clinton took the stage to roaring applause from flag-waving delegates on the final night of the Dem- ocratic convention, relish- ing her nomination as the first woman to lead a major U.S. political party. But her real audience was the mil- lions of voters watching at home, many of whom may welcome her experience as secretary of state senator and first lady, but question her character. She acknowledged those concerns briefly, saying "I get it that some people just don't know what to make of me." But her primary fo- cus was persuading Amer- icans to not be seduced by Trump's vague promises to restore economic security and fend off threats from abroad. Clinton's four-day con- vention began with efforts to shore up liberals who backed Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary and it ended with an out- stretched hand to Republi- cans and independents un- nerved by Trump. A parade of military leaders, law en- forcement officials and Re- publicans took the stage ahead of Clinton to endorse her in the general election contest with Trump. "This is the moment, this is the opportunity for our future," said retired Ma- rine Gen. John R. Allen, a former commander in Af- ghanistan. "We must seize this moment to elect Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America." American flags waved in the stands of the packed convention hall. There were persistent but scattered calls of "No more war," but the crowd drowned them out with chants of "Hill-a- ry" and "U-S-A!" The Democratic nomi- nation now officially hers, Clinton has just over three months to persuade Ameri- cans that Trump is unfit for the Oval Office and over- come the visceral connec- tion he has with some vot- ers in a way the Democratic nominee does not. She embraced her repu- tation as a studious wonk, a politician more comfort- able with policy proposals than rhetorical flourishes. "I sweat the details of pol- icy," she said. Clinton's proposals are an extension of President Barack Obama's two terms in office: tackling climate change, overhauling the nation's fractured immi- gration laws, and restrict- ing access to guns. She dis- puted Trump's assertion that she wants to repeal the Second Amendment, saying "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." Campaigning in Iowa Thursday, Trump said there were "a lot of lies being told" at Clinton's convention. In an earlier statement, he ac- cused Democrats of living in a "fantasy world," ignor- ing economic and security troubles as well as Clinton's controversial email use at the State Department. The FBI's investigation into Clinton's use of a pri- vate internet server didn't result in criminal charges, but it did appear to deepen voters' concerns with her honesty and trustworthi- ness. A separate pre-con- vention controversy over hacked Democratic Party emails showing favoritism for Clinton in the primary threatens to deepen the per- ception that Clinton prefers to play by her own rules. Through four nights of polished convention pag- eantry, Democratic heavy- weights told a different story about Clinton. The most powerful validation came Wednesday night from Obama, her victori- ous primary rival in 2008. Obama declared Clinton not only can defeat Trump's "deeply pessimistic vision" but also realize the "prom- ise of this great nation." Clinton was introduced by her daughter, Chelsea, who spoke warmly of her mother as a woman "driven by compassion, by faith, by kindness, a fierce sense of justice, and a heart full of love." President Bill Clinton watched from a seat on the convention floor, beaming with pride and repeatedly leaping to his feet. Clinton was joined on stage at the end of the night by her running mate, Vir- ginia Sen. Tim Kaine, who addressed the convention Wednesday. Fireworks ex- ploded inside the arena and red, white and blue balloons plunged from the arena raf- ters. Clinton and Kaine head into the general election seeking support from the same coalition of voters that propelled Obama into the White House: blacks, Hispanics, women and young people.
