Obama tells DNC 'We Don't Look to Be Ruled', 2016 Democratic National Convention, Barack Obama DNC Speech, Hillary Clinton

The Democratic Party’s Obama era morphed into another Clinton one on Wednesday night with a series of roars, a warm embrace, and a brash show of teamwork, with the outgoing and would-be incoming president again looking to capture some hope.

The Democrats’ past, present and future marked their own pieces of history, with rivalries that have defined a generation fading away in a night of inspiration for the party.

Obama said:

1. Obama named Clinton’s opponent -– calling him Donald Trump, “The Donald,” and later lumping him in with “homegrown demagogues” — in as blunt a case against a would-be successor as a sitting president is likely to outline.
2. “America is already great. America is already strong. And I promise you, our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump," Obama said. 
3. He’s just offering slogans. And he’s offering fear.
4. Hillary Clinton is that woman in the arena. She’s been there for us –- even if we haven’t always noticed.

Kaine said

1. “Hillary Clinton is listo,” Kaine said, using the Spanish word for “ready.” “She’s ready to fight, she’s ready to lead, she’s ready to win.”
2. “If any of you are looking for that party of Lincoln, we’ve got a home for you right here in the Democratic Party,” Kaine said. “We all should feel the Bern -– and we all should not want to get burned by the other guy.”

Joe Biden said

1. “I know Hillary. Hillary understands. Hillary gets it,”
2. “God willing, Hillary Clinton will write the next chapter in that journey. We are America – second to none. And we own the finish line.”

Now, to complete the historical sweep, Democrats need to draw on their recent past to move ahead. They came together on the third night of the Democratic National Convention, powered by surrogate star power that built a case for Hillary Clinton, and against Donald Trump.

“Hillary Clinton is that woman in the arena. She’s been there for us –- even if we haven’t always noticed,” President Obama said, declaring himself “ready to pass the baton.” “The Democratic Party is in good hands.”
