Hillary Clinton: A man you can bait with a Tweet can't be trusted with nukes

After accepting her party's nomination, Hillary Clinton portrays rival Donald Trump as a small man who lacks temperament to be commander-in-chief

Philadelphia: Declaring that the US is at a "moment of reckoning," Hillary Clinton today attacked her Republican rival Donald Trump for his "bigotry and bombast" while pitching herself to be a steady leader, as she scripted history by becoming the first woman presidential nominee.

Presenting her vision of inclusive growth for America, the Democratic presidential nominee warned voters that a man who could be baited with a tweet cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons.

"Ask yourself: Does Donald Trump have the temperament to be Commander-in-Chief?" she asked in her nearly hour-long address.

The former first lady, senator and secretary of state set her sights on the White House and blasted Trump, portraying him as a small man, who got rich by stiffing workers, peddles fear and lacks the temperament to be commander-in-chief.

"A president should respect the men and women who risk their lives to serve our country," she said, adding that Trump cannot even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign. The choice is clear, Clinton asserted.
