CLEVELAND — Hillary Clinton’s campaign panned Donald Trump’s speech accepting the GOP presidential nomination, arguing the country can do far better than “prejudice and paranoia.”

“Tonight, Donald Trump painted a dark picture of an America in decline. And his answer — more fear, more division, more anger, more hate — was yet another reminder that he is temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be President of the United States,” campaign chairman John Podesta said in a statement shortly after Trump wrapped his lengthy address at the Republican National Convention.

America is better than Donald Trump. Next week in Philadelphia, Democrats will focus on issues, not anger. We’ll offer a positive vision for the future based on lifting America up, not tearing Americans down.”

Democrats hammered Trump’s speech as too doom and gloom instead of hopeful. 

But Republicans generally applauded the speech and saw Trump as prescribing a solution to eight years of Democratic policies. 

“I have a message for all of you: The crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end. Beginning on Jan. 20, 2017, safety will be restored,” Trump said in his speech that centered on law and order.

Clinton is expected to receive her party’s nomination for president at the Democratic National Convention next week in Philadelphia.
