1) Sell the merits of Clinton as a person The most important part of her challenge will be to sell Hillary Clinton the person. Despite all the time that she has spent on the national stage, many voters still don't seem to feel they have a good grasp of who she is. Her opponents in both parties have portrayed her as a ruthlessly ambitious politician who has no heart and soul -- that she will do and say anything to achieve power. This convention is the best chance that she has ever had to persuade Americans otherwise.
2) Counter doom and gloom The Democratic Convention needs to present a stark emotional alternative to the Republican message of gloom and doom. In Cleveland the Republicans intentionally appealed to the worst fears of the electorate, painting a bleak picture of America that sounded more like Batman's Gotham than the city on the hill.
3. Showcase diversity The Democrats need to use the convention to stress their diversity. Many commentators were struck by how white and male the Republican Convention was, with a few exceptions like Ben Carson and Sheriff David Clarke. It seemed that Trump intentionally played up this theme rather than trying to hide it. The convention, which even included the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, was a macho political celebration on steroids.
4. Zing Trump Finally, the Democrats will have to use some of their time to go negative. Conventions are usually two parts celebration and one part denigration. At the same time that Democrats try to separate themselves from the Republican cage match, they shouldn't be too polite. As Finley Peter Dunne wrote, politics ain't bean bag. And when the opponent is Donald Trump, a candidate needs to be prepared to hit hard.

If Clinton hasn’t been able to sell herself over the last 30+ years, do they really think she can do it in the next 3 months? I don’t think so. By displaying their “diversity” appears to be by having the mothers of thugs such as Tryvon Martin and Michael Brown on display, don’t think that will go over too good with most people, except her die-hard supporters. Attacking Trump, haven’t they already spent about $100 MILLION on negative ads, and it doesn’t seem to have done her a lot of good. Countering doom and gloom by trying to convince everyone that the US and the world are beautiful and headed in the right direction, good luck with that.
GITMO
It tastes like bubble gum too.
Maybe she needs to kiss some babies.
Nope. The devils at GITMO have a cushy life.
He may have to have that tsunami to get ahead of the most massive vote fraud America has ever experienced.

And she will show her “humanity” by eating a human baby live, but she’ll drug it first so it feels very little pain.
It would be easier to sell an anvil to a drowning man.
Said the person who makes 3rd rate Nigerian con artist seem honorable.☺
The woman has been in the world spotlight for 25 years. Most people, even her own supporters, know she’s dishonest. They can resell her all they want to try and change the narrative of this evil person, but trying to change her unsavory image is the equivalent of trying to clean up a toxic waste dump with a roll of paper towels.
I’m sure he did before he filed it with his boss. It’s the rat way.
Words of wisdom from the comrade news network who got everything wrong for the last year.
Is it just me or is this Democrat Convention portraying a very dark, doom and gloom atmosphere ? Better check under my bed tonight for any Russian monsters.
Quite right. They are Dark. Very Dark. That’s diversity for you I guess.
The world, as we know it, will come to an end if Trump is elected. Now stop all the fear-mongering.
I guess that about covers it.
Equating Hillary with The Empire? Of course she looks like the Emperor and Bill is Darth Clinton.
I bet even Huma hates hillary, but she needs the government secrets so she can pass them off to the Islamic countries. Or else she just has a sick fetish for rotten tuna.
Where’s the Barf warning???
