Several times she took dead aim at Donald Trump. "A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man you can trust with nuclear weapons," Clinton said.

Earlier, Chelsea Clinton introduced her mother. "That feeling of being valued and loved, that's what my mom wants for every child," she said.

Hillary Clinton sought to draw a sharp contrast between herself and Donald Trump as she ticked off one policy difference after another with her Republican opponent. Clinton assailed Trump's record as a businessman, questioned whether he has the temperament to be commander in chief, and accused him of offering "empty promises."
