A crisis, and he did it as you would hope a president would do. He united the country, he organized our country and he kept is safe. And theres no denying that. The great majority of americans believe that. I dont know why he keeps bringing this up. It doesnt show that hes a serious person as it relates to being commander in chief and being the architect of a Foreign Policy. Across the spectrum of Foreign Policy mr. Trump talks about things as though hes still on the the apprentice. Talking about isis should take out assad, and then russia should take out isis. Were under grave threats again. And i think we need a president with a steady hand. To play devils advocate, do you think its at all possible that your loyalty to your brother, while very admirable on a personal level, might be in some ways a political or policy liability blinding you to mistakes he made . No. I mean, so next week mr. Trump is probably going to say that fdr was around when japan attacked pearl harbor. Its what y
Secretary clinton, youre not in the white house yet. A civil but contentious night for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Side by side is on stage since the commanding New Hampshire victory up ended the primary fight. Again and again, clinton tried making one thing fair. She is the rightful heir to president obama. Today senator sanders said president obama failed the leadership test. This is not the first time he has criticized president obama. He has called him weak. He has called him a disappointment. It was a message for the voters of South Carolina, they are widely africanamerican. I do not expect for someone running for the democratic nomination to succeed president obama. Madam secretary, that is a low blow. The last time i heard a United States senator had the right to disagree with the president , including a president who has done such an extraordinary job. Bun of us ran against barack obama. I was not that candidate. Sanders had the final word. But it opened a new chapter.
Political topics. This is on the heels, of course, of the meeting with jim baker last week, for example, where we understand the two talked political strategy. Not so much the nuts and bolts of Foreign Policy. That said trump over the last week or so, the last couple of weeks since hes made the turn to the general election, has clearly been looking to solicit more input and advice from longtime conservative leaders, influence republicans, in many ways republicans who have been around for a long time, folks who have experience with this and looks to build his connection with washington and beef up some of those policy roles and views of how he looks at the world, you could say. We expect to have that happen at the kissinger meeting today and in a sign of other meetings trump has taken, craig, he just walked out of a meeting with influential evangelical leader van derplouffe, he had an endorsement of it ted cruz. Now meeting with donald trump telling myself, katy tur, that he has not end
The Democratic Convention is under way, officially gavelled, not by the party chairwoman, forced out yesterday, practically booed off the stage by her own delegation this morning. Party hoping acrimony will yield through unity throughout the week and taking steps as we speak right now. Also tonight, rolling out heavy hitters. New jersey senator cory booker, first Lady Michelle obama, senator Elizabeth Warren and runnerup Bernie Sanders. More on booing supporters gave them in a moment. First to our chief Political Correspondent dana bash joining us from the Convention Floor behind me with new efforts to try to contain the acrimony. Dana, as you know, Democratic Party is just issued a formal apology, public apology, to senator sanders. What more can you tell us . This happened not long after this convention formally gavelled open and it is a statement from Donna Brazile, who is now the interim chair of the party and other officers saying on behalf of everyone at the dnc, we want to offer
To try to calm this thing down. Ive never seen trump do that. Weve got somebody here i want to bring to the attention of our audience. Aresh singh who is a sikh american. He was ejected from a trump rally and people were saying antimuslim things. I want to hear from you. Im a sikh and i dont claim to smeek for others but i interpret the sikh faith to stand up against injustice that others are facing and that injustice was seen very much so in this election. Trumps claim that thousands and thousands muslims new jersey city, new jersey muslims were cheering on the 9 11 attacks a complete fabrication. He said that to large audience, he broadcast that to thousands to millions who are watching on tv. On live stream. To do that about jersey city, new jersey, a community that is home to a large arab population, large south asian population, muslims but also hindus, sikhs, its incredible that someone could do that and that person is now our president that we have this kind of situation. Thats
