PHILADELPHIA Hillary Clinton will cast an optimistic outlook on the nation's present and future when she accepts the Democratic nomination for president Thursday and becomes the first woman to lead her party into the fall.
The speech will offer a contrasting vision to the one given by Donald Trump last week on issues ranging from the economy to national security.
"America is once again at a moment of reckoning," she is expected to say at the Democratic National Convention. "Powerful forces are threatening to pull out apart. Bonds of trust and respect are fraying. And just as with our founders there are no guarantees."
"We are clear-eyed about what our country is up against," she will say. "But we are not afraid. We will rise to the challenge, just as we always have.
Clinton will specifically seize on comments Trump made last week when he said, he alone could help fix the nation's woes.
"None of us can do it alone," she will say. "That's why we are stronger together."
In her address, Clinton will set how to explain how she plans to "empower all Americans to live better lives."
The speech aims to stitch together the themes from the first three nights of the convention, from the economy to gun control and national security.
All week, the conventions speakers sought to portray Clinton as a tested, steady and qualified candidate who will be a fighter for the working class and the polar opposite of Trump, whom Democrats view as a divisive, polarizing and dangerous figure who would reverse the policies President Obama put in place over the last eight years.
"My primary mission as president will be to create more opportunity and more good jobs with rising wages right here in the United States. From my first day in office to my last," she will say, according to the remarks.
Especially in places that for too long have been left out and left behind. From our inner cities to our small towns, Indian Country to Coal Country. From the industrial Midwest to the Mississippi Delta to the Rio Grande Valley.
Part of the speech focuses on the recent terror attacks, including in Orlando and the string of attacks in France. Clinton seeks to telegraph that she would be a steady hand in dealing with the rise of threats by groups like Islamic State.
"The choice we face is just as stark when it comes to our national security. Anyone reading the news can see the threats and turbulence we face. From Baghdad and Kabul, to Nice and Paris and Brussels, to San Bernardino and Orlando, we're dealing with determined enemies that must be defeated," Clinton is expected to say.
"No wonder people are anxious and looking for reassurance looking for steady leadership."

Wake me in the mornin.
I decided a week ago that her speech would be “dark” and I’m going to stick with that. Doesn’t matter what she says — her vision is “dark”.
i hope the last thing someone says to her before she goes on is, ‘Now remember, don’t cough”.
I don’t know. Sounds awfully dark to me.
Will she be Live or Memorex ?
Can’t fix things you don’t believe are broken, can’t change things you think are going right... You can’t even say the name of the evil that wants to kill our children.
Oh looky, it’s Violet Beauregarde.
I think I’ll give my cat a bikini wax instead.
Less screeching.
This speech is gonna be so full of excrement it will provide enough manure for every lawn in America for the next ten years.
Maybe she’ll just read that part off the teleprompter.
How disgusting
The United States now have the status of Banana Republics
Evita Peron was the downfall of Argentina
This brazen nobody, the impeached president’s wife, is nothing
corrupt media have their stories written already how brilliant the criminal fraud is
Not watched the freak show and do not intend to do so tonight either. She should be in prison and yet the Dem convention should be named the Democratic national corruption . illegals, cross dressers, mothers of some thugs. cops banned in the building while in uniform, no flags, etc.
Right on, Hillary and Evita are two peas in a pod.
Here is what I would say about “Thunder Thighs” . She is a WAR MONGER!! She was for the misspent war in IRAQ. She was for the overthrow of our Egyptian friend Mubarek!! She was for war in Lybia!! Total disasters all!! 100’s of thousands DIED!! The only war we need is the war on Wahhabi Sunnis ( Isis- AlQueda) , Go TRUMP!!
Someone needs to make a side by side of the two. Evita and Hellary.
Hillarys Drug dealer and Drs are trying desperately to get her right for her Speech as we speak
