US political elite in crisis

Hillary Clinton, former US secretary of state, formally accepted the nomination of the Democratic Party as its candidate for the US presidential election on Friday.

As illustrated by her acceptance speech, her policies are aimed at seeking unity - unity among various ethnic groups, unity inside the Democratic Party, as well as unity with the "99 percent" of the population.

It should be noted that Hillary Clinton is the first female presidential candidate to enter "the final round" and there is possibility of her being the first female US president. Yet voters in the United States are not that excited.
