Hillary Clinton must hone her message and stay focussed on jobs

Hillary Clinton stepped into history by becoming the Democratic party’s nominee in the White House race but does she have what it takes to make history in November?

She has overcome many obstacles on the road to the nomination but they fade by comparison to the grit she’ll now need in the head-to- head battle against Republican nominee Donald Trump.

In case there was any doubt, Mr Trump set the tone over the weekend by pledging before his cheering supporters to “take the gloves off” against Ms Clinton.
