Below are selected quotes from the first day to the Democratic National Convention.
Sen. Bernie Sanders / I-VT
"I have known Hillary Clinton for 25-years...I served with her in the United State Senate and know her as a fierce advocate for children, the rights of women, and the disabled. Hillary Clinton will make a great president and I am proud to stand with her tonight."
"Based on her ideas and leadership, Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States."
"Hillary Clinton understands that someone who works 40 hours a week should not be living in poverty."
"Our revolution continues."
"Election days come and go but the struggle of the people to create a government that represents all of us and not just the one percent...that struggle continues."
"This election is about ending the 40-year decline of our middle class."
Sen. Elizabeth Warren / D-MA
"Bernie reminds us what Democrats fight for everyday. Thank you, Bernie."
"On one side is a man who inherited a fortune from his father and kept it by cheating people...On the other side is one of the smartest, toughest women on the planet."
"We fought. We won and we improved the lives of millions of people. Thank you Barrack Obama."
"To every republican who said, 'No.' This November, the American people are coming for you."
"And where was Donald Trump in all of these fights. He never lifted a finger to help. His whole life has been about taking advantage of that rigged system."
"What kind of a man roots for an economic crash that costs people their jobs, their homes...I'll tell you what kind of a man, a man who must never be the president of the United States."
Michelle Obama
"Our motto is: When they go low, we go high."
"This is about who will have the power to shape our children's lives for the next four or eight years...There is only one person I trust and that is our friend Hillary Clinton. I trust Hillary to lead this country because I see her devotion to Children."
"When she didn't win the nomination eight years ago, she didn't get angry or disillusioned. Hillary did not pack up and go home. As a true public service she knows this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments."
"What I admire the most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure...Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life."
Sara Silverman as a Bernie Sander supporter
"Can I just say to the 'Bernie or Bust' people. You're being ridiculous."
Al Franken delivers zingers
"I got my doctorate in megalomania studies from Trump University. Sure I had to empty out my 401k and take out a reverse mortgage on my house to pay the tuition, but Mr. Trump — or rather some people who said they’d once met him – convinced me it was worth it."
"Did you know that Trump University’s School of Ripping People Off is ranked second in the nation? Right behind Bernie Madoff University. That’s no mean feat."
"Trump University is about more then bilking people … It’s also about learning directly from success experts like Scott Baio, Mike Tyson, and of course, a life-size cardboard cutout of Mr. Trump himself."
"Clearly, Donald Trump’s enormous, dare I say ‘yuuge’ success as a businessman qualifies him to be president. And if you believe that, I’ve got some Trump steaks I’d like to sell you."
Demi Lovato on mental illness
"Like millions of Americans, I am living with mental illness. But I am lucky. I had the resources and support to get treatment at a top facility...Unfortunately, too many Americans from all walks of life don’t get help, whether they fear the stigma or cannot afford treatment."
