Clinton, Kaine launch campaign's last 100 days from Temple University
PHILADELPHIA _ Hillary Clinton kicked off her general election campaign Friday in Philadelphia by comparing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to a king, while she argued the historic nature of her candidacy showed the goodness and potential of America.
"Nobody who looked like me was thought to be possible to run for president" when the country was founded 240 years ago, Clinton told a few thousand supporters at Temple University, a day after she became the first woman to accept the presidential nomination of a major political party in the United States.
"No one who looked like Barack Obama was thought to be possible. But, contrary to Donald Trump, I believe every time we knock down a barrier in America, it liberates everyone in America," she said to resounding applause.
