		</div><p>Hillary Clinton has dismissed the first day of the Republican National Convention as a &#8220;surreal&#8221; experience &#8211; and compared the gathering led by Donald Trump to the classic fantasy film The Wizard of Oz.</p>
<p>The presumptive Democratic presidential hopeful told an audience of 6,000 people in Las Vegas: &#8220;There were similarities that appeared to me. Lots of sound and fury &#8211; even a fog machine.</p>
<p>&#8220;But when you pull back the curtain, it was just Donald Trump with nothing to offer to the American people.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mrs Clinton&#8217;s comments came as Republicans meet in Cleveland for the second day of their national convention, where delegates are expected to officially select Mr Trump as their party&#8217;s nominee for the autumn election.</p>
<p>Speaking to long-standing Democratic allies, Mrs Clinton noted Mr Trump&#8217;s shadowy appearance before he introduced his wife, Melania Trump, but made no mention of allegations that she lifted passages of her speech from first lady Michelle Obama&#8217;s 2008 address.</p>
<p>Mrs Clinton noted that viewers heard a lot about Mrs Trump and her husband, but &#8220;not a single solution&#8221; that would help workers and their families.</p>
<p>The former secretary of state was addressing 6,000 members of AFSCME, a union representing 1.6 million public sector workers which endorsed Mrs Clinton&#8217;s presidential tilt last October.</p>
<p>She pointed to ongoing struggles with Republican governors in the American Midwest, accusing Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, a former Republican presidential hopeful, of ripping &#8220;the heart out of public sector workers&#8217; right to bargain&#8221;.</p>
<p>In Illinois, she accused governor Bruce Rauner, a Republican elected in 2014, of &#8220;holding the budget hostage for months&#8221;, hurting families and demanding &#8220;outrageous concessions&#8221; to fix a multibillion-dollar deficit.</p>
<p>She also warned that Donald Trump would undercut the Dodd-Frank Act passed six years ago this week by US Congress in response to the financial crisis.</p>
<p>Mrs Clinton said that Mr Trump wanted to &#8220;tear up Dodd-Frank and let Wall Street run wild again&#8221;.</p>
