Former US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, today accepted the official Democratic Presidential nomination for US elections 2016 while addressing the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

With the acceptance, she became the first US woman to win the nomination of a major political party, promising to be a president for "all Americans," whether they voted for her or not.

The Democratic Presidential candidate projected herself as a tireless champion of the people and rejecting Republican nominee Donald Trump's dark picture of America.

Here are top 10 things that Clinton said while lashing out at Trump.

1. Donald Trump wants us to fear the future, he wants to divide us ... all we need to fear is fear itself.

2. We will not build a wall, instead we will build an economy where everyone who wants a job can get one.

3. We will not ban a religion — we will work with all Americans and our allies to fight and defeat terrorism.

4. Donald Trump says he wants to make America great again—well, he could start by actually making things in America again.

5. Donald Trump says, and this is a quote: "I know more about ISIS than the generals do." No, Donald, you don't.

6. Enough with the bigotry and bombast. Donald Trump's not offering real change, he’s offering empty promises.

7. Donald Trump can't even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign...Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis.

8. Please explain to me what part of America First leads him to make Trump ties in China, not Colorado. Trump suits in Mexico, not Michigan.

9. In Atlantic City…you will find contractors and small businesses who lost everything because Donald Trump refused to pay his bills.

10. Donald Trump has taken the Republican Party a long way. From morning in America to midnight in America.

"I refuse to believe we can't find common ground here. We have to heal the divides in our country.” —Hillary https://t.co/hGRbyjBeMl
