A crowd packed into a hot gymnasium at Youngstown's East High School Saturday night, waiting to hear from the first woman nominated by a major political party to run for President of the United States. They waited longer than expected to see Hillary Clinton and her running mate Senator Tim Kaine who took to the stage two hours and fifteen minutes after the program was scheduled to begin.
Joe Biden, Tim Kaine and Barack Obama testified to her greatness and goodness and readiness to be president. And all saw in the Republican Convention in Cleveland a festival of darkness and dystopia.
Hillary Clinton, standing on a metal working factory floor here in Western Pennsylvania, tried to cut into Donald Trump's grip on white, working class voters by casting herself -- not the businessman-turned-Republican nominee -- as 2016's change candidate. Clinton, surrounded by factory equipment and spooled iron, attacked Trump's business record and argued that the more people listen to the Republican nominee talk, the more they realize "he is not offering real change, he is offering empty promises."
Former Orange County Democratic Chairman Jonathan Jacobson gushed about the Democratic National Convention on Friday as he returned from it, calling it the most successful of the 11 presidential conventions he's attended in spite of the sharp party split that carried from the primary season into the four-day gala in Philadelphia. Jacobson, who was a delegate for Hillary Clinton, praised the acceptance speech she had given the previous night, saying Clinton had laid out a positive message while establishing a “clear contrast” with Donald Trump, the Republican nominee.
Basically, he's abandoned the great patriotic themes that used to fire up the GOP and he's allowed the Democrats to seize that ground. If you visited the two conventions this year you would have come away thinking that the Democrats are the more patriotic of the two parties - and the more culturally conservative.

With the Republican and Democratic nominees officially in place, White House officials are beginning their efforts to prepare both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton to assume office in January. White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough phoned the Trump and Clinton transition teams Friday to invite them for preparation sessions on the complex workings of the federal government.
Facebook Live has only been available to the masses since January, and in that time we've pretty much witnessed the full scope of humanity. We laughed along with "Chewbacca Mask Lady" and delighted in the live stream of a childbirth.
Work to refurbish and privatize a pavilion at Indiana Dunes State Park to bring restaurants, a rooftop bar and a banquet center along Lake Michigan is temporarily on hold until the state Department of Natural Resources gets permission from the National Park Service to move ahead. NPS and DNR officials say the main obstacle is a technical matter of determining whether the pavilion and adjacent banquet center will be designated as a public facility or whether the state will need to find replacement land of the same or higher value to replace it.

Republican vice presidential candidate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence speaks at the American Legislative Exchange Council annual meeting in Indianapolis, Friday, July 29, 2016. While Donald Trump has generally responded to protesters' interruptions by bellowing to security "get 'em out," his running mate Mike Pence has a different, more subtle approach.

JEANNETTE, Pa.- Hillary Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine followed up their Philadelphia nominating convention with a rally in the city on Friday, the start of a two-day swing through a state that is shaping up to be crucial to the presidential campaign. At Friday's event, a day after her acceptance of the Democratic nomination, Mrs. Clinton reminded voters that her father was born in Scranton and reminisced about summers spent in her family's lake cottage nearby.
Kaine, Hillary Clinton's running mate and a senator from Virginia, explained on Friday on CNN that Trump's mix-up of the two at a press conference earlier this week made him "scratch his head." "Her running mate Tim Kaine, who by the way did a terrible job in New Jersey - first act he did in New Jersey was ask for a $4 billion tax increase and he was not very popular in New Jersey and he still isn't," Trump said during a Wednesday press conference.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence plans his first visit to Nevada next week as Donald Trump's running mate on the Republican presidential ticket.
