Reporter casting clinton as a politician controlled by donors. She is their puppet, and their pull the strings. Reporter and the republicans as the party of truth. If you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefully crafted lies, and the media myths, the democrats are holding their Convention Next week. Go there. Reporter his attacks revving up the cleveland crowd, but the nominee showed signs of restraint, quieting calls to send clinton to jail, instead focusing on the fight ahead.

Reporter the new york billionaire completing his improbable takeover of the Republican Party, though it hasnt been smooth sailing this week. With ted cruzs endorsement snub and the plagiarism controversies involving his wife, trump and his running mate trying to project a united front and hoping cleveland gives them a boost heading into november. And guys, Donald Trumps advisers have made no secret of their theory of this race. They want to reach out and identify with the disenfranchised, those unsettled by whats been happening in the country, those who havent felt an economic recovery. Donald trump making very clear last night thats who hes going after. More or less doubling down on what weve seen over the last couple months. The question now is, is that group of people a big enough part of the electorate to win in november . Thats something were going to have to wait to find out. Guys . Phil, thanks so much for setting all that up for us. Lets discuss it now with Christine Quinn, Hillary Clinton supporter and the vice chair of the new york state Democratic Party. And cnn political commentator Corey Lewandowski. Hes a former Trump Campaign manager who is still receiving severance pay from the Trump Campaign. Good morning to both of you. Good morning. Christine, your impressions of the speech last night . You know, i think the speech was incredibly angry. It was donald trump in some ways amped up. I think at the end of the day, its not a message thats going to bring the extra voters that donald trump needs to win. I dont think he cle he clear the opposite of reaching out to latinos. He doubled down on his efforts to keep people out. He didnt put any new plans out that could give americans a confidence that behind that anger is actually a plan to eradicate it. I just have to say as an lgbt person myself, it was so noteworthy that he said he would stand with the Lgbtq Community international. Protect you from terrorism. Internationally, right. Which is what he should be doing for every citizen. But he stood in a Convention Center that put out the most antilgbt platform weve seen recently, endorsing conversion therapy, something that we know has literally caused children to take their lives. Thats not keeping me and my brothers and sisters safe. And its not going to reach out to mothers and fathers and guardians in america who want to protect their children in every way. It was angry. It was vitriolic, and it lacked anything to give voters hope. Yes, they want their anger affirmed, but they want hope. Theres an indication that it worked. Our poll after the speech last night, 57 of the respondents said they saw it highly favorable. Very positive reaction. Ympbl why do you think, corey . What you have is hes telling the truth. Thats whats gotten donald trump where he is today. Hes talked about things no other candidates want to talk about. He talked about those individuals, those specific people, those american citizens who have had their lives or their familys lives taken from them from illegal aliens. Hes talked about the need to make sure he appoints the right person to the Supreme Court. Its an important issue as it relates to the Second Amendment, which is a big issue not just for the Republican Base but those working class individuals who are very concerned about a Supreme Court appointee who may limit their Second Amendment rights. He talked about student loan debt. He talked about the need to make sure that trade specifically comes back. Look, the message of this speech was very clear. Two things. Number one, america first. Hes very clear about that. Number two, make America Great again. If you had to summarize what the Clinton Campaign stands for, you go out on the street and ask those people, nobody knows the answer. If you ask what donald trump stands for, its very simple. He wants to make America Great green. His vision is different than the Clinton Campaigns vision. What the difference is here is hes laid out a way to put Americans First and make sure were not going to war if its not in the best interest of our country. Were not going to do things anymore that arent in the best interest of our people. Thats the difference. Hes laid out a slogan. A new slogan every night. Summing it up with the one last night. But he hasnt actually laid out plans. I want to say, i find it the height of hypocrisy that donald trump would stand on this National Stage talking about trade and loss of jobs when he himself in his company has taken countless jobs out of america, laid American Workers off to move jobs abroad. This is a man who says one thing and does another, and what he does is not ever in the interest of the people hes working with or wants to work for. Its in the interest of his bank account and his pocketbook. The law and order candidate, which he is now clearly representing, is not just about what the police are doing versus the nonpolice. This is about Hillary Clinton and everybody else. There are two separate sets of rules. She should have clearly been indicted by the federal bureau of investigation. They chose not to do that. There are two separate sets of rules here. The people of america, outside the beltway, outside new york city, understand that and theyre frustrated by that. Thats what hes talking about. If you look at the people hes talking to, those are the people in ohio, where we sit today, the people in pennsylvania. In order for him to win this election, which hes going to do, you need to win those states. Those are the people that are going to take you there. Before chris says it, back off of new york, brother. Its an important city. The best city in the world. And a city thats shown the deepest American Values coming back from the worst terrorist attack. So new yorkers need jobs. Dont be picking on my city, brother. Thats all im saying. Those people who have lost their jobs through bad trade deals, new york has had the same problem as ohio, as michigan. You know what was an interesting moment . He made a direct appeal to Bernie Sanders supporters. He said the system is rigged against you. What can donald trump do for liberals . Look, its the trade issue. Bernie sanders has his supporters are in the exact same spot that donald trump has been, which is america is being taken advantage of because of bad trade deals. Hillary clinton has supported the tpp, a number of bad trade deals. This has been a major component of the democratic primary race, where Hillary Clinton had to continue to move her position to align herself with the Bernie Sanders wing of the party. Shes still not there 100 . Thats why on two separate occasions last night during the speech he reached out those sanders people and said, come join me, because if you want a good trade deal, you want america first, i will get you there. If he had any interest in reaching out to sanders voters, and the polls show repeatedly that all of the worry that the sanders voters would not support secretary clinton is completely untrue. Only a few Single Digits of sanders voters are out there not yet coming to secretary clinton. A very unified party versus the vast lack of unity we saw here over this week, i. E. Ted cruz. But if donald trump had any interest in even thinking about sanders voters, why did he pick a Vice President ial nominee who has one of the worst records on women, one of the worst records on choice, and in fact was the person who started the most recent rash of legislative attacks against the Lgbt Community. And people, you know, on this stage behind me have heralded what governor pence did economically in his state. Lets look back to not so long ago when he pushed for the antilgbt legislation that almost caused the ncaa to move out of the state and cost his state tons of money. Donald trump is the first candidate to put someone on stage, a Business Executive in peter thiel, whos openly gay on a republican platform, to give him a primetime speaking slot to tell about his inclusion into this. You can say what you want about this. This has been a very inclusive convention. It is a cohesive convention. Every republican delegate who was in this room last night is voting for donald trump and not Hillary Clinton. Im sure of that. Look, in terms of broadening the base, maybe youre right. Maybe every delegate in this room is going to vote for donald trump now. But you also had the least latino and black delegates youve had in recent history. Ever. So theres some work there to do. The question is, did that speech last night help take him to the next level . And its great to put an openly lgbt person on the stage, but when that stage is based on a platform that doesnt support marriage, supports conversion therapy, a practice that all legitimate psychiatrists and psychologists have singled out as life threatening to children. I can tell you people i know who went through that. Theyre lucky they got out alive. You can put whoever you want on the stage, but if youre really attacking our children, youre not for us. I dont think anybody is attacking anyone in that regard. Thats what conversion therapy is. Corey, christine, thank you. Great to talk to you. So donald trump certainly living up to peoples satisfaction. He certainly did things we havent seen at an rnc. You just saw his daughter walking out. She talked about Wage Equality for women last night. Donald trump thanked the crowd for being supportive of lgbtq rights. Thats new. We have Jason Carroll, cnn correspondent, taking us through the ivanka effect from last night. What did you see, my friend . Reporter well, chris, ivanka trump told the crowd last night that real change has to come from outside the system. She described her father as a fighter and a man of kindness and compassion. All this in an effort to portray a different side of the candidate and to reach out to women and communities of color. Like many of my fellow millennials, i do not consider myself categorically republican or democrat. More than party affiliation, i vote based on what i believe is right for my family and for my country. Reporter Donald Trumps eldest daughter ivanka trying to broaden her fathers appeal, branding him the peoples nominee. My father values talent. He recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it. He is color blind and gender neutral. He hires the best person for the job, period. Reporter ivanka trump making the case to female voters. At my fathers company, there are more female than male executives. Women are paid equally for the work that we do, and when a woman becomes a mother, she is supported, not shut out. He will fight for equal pay for equal work, and i will fight for this too right alongside of him. Reporter her speech caps four days of personal testimonies from trumps children and his wife melania. In the same office in trump tower where we now Work Together, i remember playing on the floor by my fathers desk, constructing miniature buildings with legos and erector sets while he did the same with concrete, steel, and glass. My father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong ethical compass. Reporter it wasnt just a family affair. Trumps Business Partner and personal friend of 40 years tom barrick touting a side of trump many may not know. He has these relentless, beautiful habits. He shows up on time. He believes that punctuality is the courtesy of kings. He doesnt confuse efforts with results. He befriends the bewildered. Reporter and in a historic moment, openly gay tech billionaire peter thiel receiving a rousing response after making this statement. Of course every american has a unique identity. I am proud to be gay. I am proud to be a republican. But most of all, i am proud to be an american. Reporter thiel insisting conservatives are focused on the wrong social issues. Now we are told that the great debate is about who gets to use which bathroom. This is a distraction from our real problems. Who cares . Reporter his comments come as the Republican Party is facing criticism for passing an antilgbt platform, which stands in sharp contrast to trumps views on gays. I will do everything in my power to protect our lgbtq citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology. Believe me. Reporter and Trump Supporters say the speeches last night were definitely the bright spot during a rocky convention week. Despite all that, they say last nights speeches will end up putting all of that to rest. Alisyn . Okay, jason. Thanks so much for breaking all that down for us. Over on the democratic side, Hillary Clinton might try to steal the spotlight today from donald trump by announcing her vp pick. Cnns senior washington correspondent joe johns live in orlando, where clintons campaigning today. Do we think its going to happen today, joe . Reporter thats anybodys guess, quite frankly, alisyn. I can tell you her day will get off to a solemn start here in orlando, florida. Shes coming here to meet with the mayor and others to talk about the recent massacre at the pulse nightclub. The expectation is that she will make an announcement on a vp selection either today or tomorrow during campaign swings here in this state. Among the people who have been mentioned right up at the top is senator tim kaine of virginia. This is a guy who conceivably would bring a lot to the Hillary Clinton campaign. Hes a former governor of the state of virginia, a state that will be very important in the upcoming november election. Hes also a former chair of the Democratic National committee, a fluent spanish speaker. All of those things would mitigate in his favor. Among the others mentioned right in the top tier, that is agriculture secretary tom vilsack. He also comes from a very important state. That would be iowa. Conceivably would bring to the ticket the ability to reach out to people in small towns and talk to them. Shes met with a number of other individuals, and how is that information going to get out about her vp selection . Well, weve been told she intends to put that out in a text message to her supporters. Thats, of course, if journalists dont get ahold of the story first. Back to you. That was a good caveat there, joe johns. Thank you very much. So one of the stories that has certainly been dominant here at the convention is trumps kids and their efforts as really adults we keep calling them kids. But were they effective in trying to broaden the appeal of their father . In the biggest example, ivanka trump with the important job of making his introduction. Were going to talk about that next. Im free to do what i want a
