He’s going to get louder in the weeks to come.
We now know who’s going to be replacing Barack Obama in the Oval Office after Hillary Clinton won the Democratic nomination for US presidency. Donald Trump is the man that the former First Lady is going to be facing on the campaign trail and the controversial Republican candidate was in full voice during the Democratic convention in Philadelphia.
Mrs Clinton’s win meant that Bernie Sanders missed out in what proved to be be a highly emotional night for the Vermont senator. As many of you will know, Sanders’ parents both died young and his older brother, Larry, shared a tearful tribute to their parents and his little brother.

Since Clinton’s victory, Sanders has urged his supporters to work together to transform American society for the better.
This election is not just about electing a president. Far more significantly, it is about transforming America.

Election days come and go. But political revolutions that attempt to transform our society never end.

This election is about making sure that young people in this country are in good schools and at good jobs, not in jail cells.

Rather than offer a progressive message, Donald Trump preferred to go on a personal attack against the extremely likeable senator from Vermont.
Sad to watch Bernie Sanders abandon his revolution. We welcome all voters who want to fix our rigged system and bring back our jobs.

Bernie Sanders totally sold out to Crooked Hillary Clinton. All of that work, energy and money, and nothing to show for it! Waste of time.

Bernie's exhausted, he just wants to shut down and go home to bed!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 26, 2016
Many of Bernie's supporters have left the arena. Did Bernie go home and go to sleep?
