Clinton: 'We'll fix it together,' not with Trump

Hillary Clinton rejected Donald Trump's vision of American decline Thursday night, as she accepted the Democratic presidential nomination.

Her nomination was historic, putting her one step closer to being the first woman elected president. But much in her speech, like so many other things in 2016, was defined less by her own vision than by her Republican opponent's.

Clinton warned that Trump had taken the Republican message from "Morning in America" to "Midnight in America," adding, "he wants us to fear the future and fear each other."

Throughout her speech, she tried to link her message to the national unification begun by the Founding Fathers in the city where she spoke. And she repeated her "it takes a village" catchphrase to contrast her politics with Trump's promsies to fix things himself.

"We are clear-eyed about what our country is up against," Clinton declared, without saying what it was, "but we are not afraid. We will rise to the challenge, just as we always have."
