Key quotes from Clinton's speech

President for all

"I will be a president for Democrats, Republicans and independents. For the struggling, the striving and the successful. For those who vote for me and those who don't. For all Americans."

History made

"Tonight, we've reached a milestone in our nation's march toward a more perfect union: the first time that a major party has nominated a woman for president."

I've heard you

"Bernie, your campaign inspired millions of Americans... And to all of your supporters here and around the country: I want you to know, I've heard you. Your cause is our cause."

Clinton on Trump

"Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis. A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons."

"He wants to divide us -- from the rest of the world, and from each other. (...) He wants us to fear the future and fear each other."

Reactions

"Great speech. She's tested. She's ready. She never quits. That's why Hillary should be our next @POTUS. (She'll get the Twitter handle, too)"

President Barack Obama

"I congratulate @HillaryClinton on this historic achievement. We are stronger together."

Bernie Sanders

"Our way of life is under threat by Radical Islam and Hillary Clinton cannot even bring herself to say the words."

Donald Trump

"Her best speech --once she got to trump and loosened up. Didn't shed the 'trust' baggage but no one trusted Nixon either and he won twice"
