And, of course, trumps entire family was there to support him. But all eyes were on the youngest trump, barron, the one child who did not make a speech at the convention. Certainly got a lot of attention last night because, yeah, he was having a tough time. Hes 10 years old sitting through the entire speech, yawning, definitely past his bedtime, i would say. Abcs tom llamas was there for all of the excitement on the floor and he joins us now from cleveland with the very latest. Good morning, tom. Reporter amy, good morning to you. Also striking how much barron trump looks just like his father even at the age of 10. Now, you could say donald trump pretty much covered everything last night and he almost did because it was the longest speech of his political career. The big question this morning, will voters remember what donald trump said last night instead of Everything Else that happened at his convention . The balloon drop, the confetti, the celebrating, all for donald trump. I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the united states. Reporter under a giant trump digital banner, the republican nominee for president launching right into his law and order theme. The attacks on our police and the terrorism of our cities threaten our very way of life. Any politician who does not grasp this danger is not fit to lead our country. Reporter trump not backing off his tough stance on illegal immigration. We are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration. To stop the gangs and the violence and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities. Reporter and the mention of Hillary Clintons name sending the crowd into a frenzy, Trump Building the case against his rival.

Usually they take the opportunity to show a different side of themself, maybe reach out to voters who have some doubts. Donald trump doubled down on exactly who he was, the crowd loved it. How about those outside that hall . Well, heres a guy that now wants to totally embrace the law and order part and came across as sort of batman, the Crime Fighting superhero, but he came across more as the dark knight in the course of that speech last night. I thought its okay to go talk about all the problems in america because twothirds of the country think were off on the wrong track and more than half of the country thinks theyve lost the American Dream in the course of this, but i thought he should have moved to more uplifting language, something more optimistic, because voters want you to understand their fears and move to their hopes. Donna brazile, democratic strategist, anything here last night worry you . Not really. This was a classic donald trump what i call rally. A rally where he tried to tell the faithful, look, im your strong man. I can make everything happen for you. In fact, donald trump last night said i can fix every problem basically in the whole world because he alone has the superpowers to do it. On day one. But the problem, george, is that donald trump had an opportunity, an easy pitch to the American People. Hes the outsider, hes the antiestablishment candidate. Donald trump could have said, america, i know how to get things done by bringing us together. He failed to do that. Classic donald trump, also echoes of richard nixon. Absolutely and he was his speech has been panned by a lot of what he would call the elites as being too dark, too negative, too pessimistic. But hes speaking like nixon in a direct echo to what he called last night the forgotten americans, the silent majority, who feel left behind by the economy over the last several decades, who feel concern about riding crime in our cities, terrorism, thats who hes speaking to. Okay, hold on. Well come back and talk about the democrats but now lets go to amy. All right, george, and yes, all eyes are turning to the Democratic Convention kicking off monday in philadelphia. Take a look live at the stage there. It was just revealed as anticipation builds over who Hillary Clinton will choose as her running mate. Abcs cecilia vega is on the campaign trail in tampa, florida, for us this morning. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter amy, good morning to you. This has been a process shrouded in secrecy, even the big question of when this announcement will happen, we know that Hillary Clinton is expected to appear with her vp pick at some point during a twoday swing through florida. That starts today. This morning, crunch time for Hillary Clinton. Her field of vp picks narrowing and the potential running mates talking about everything but the veepstakes. The name rising to the top of the pack, virginia senator tim kaine acknowledging hes in the running but not giving any hints. Its kind of surreal, but, you know, being mentioned is has no connection with, you know, anything. Reporter another contender, new jersey senator cory booker. Tweeting this photo saying, proud to be in cleveland supporting secretary clinton and pushing back against the hate, hyperbole and lies. But while he was willing to go there on donald trump its as if truth means nothing. Reporter booker played vague on the vp process. Youre talking to a former football player. Im happy to do what the coach asks me to do and play whatever role the team wants me to play. Reporter the democrats now releasing their allstar lineup for philly. A whos who of political superpower from the current president and first lady to the former president and first husband hopeful. Even old political rivals will take the stage from Bernie Sanders to elizabeth warren, and some major star power too. Celebrities like demi lovato and eva longoria will have leading roles. Lady gaga and Lenny Kravitz headlining parties. Go and youre going to hear me roar reporter even katy perry will be there calling herself clintons number one fan. But before philly that vp pick and, amy, tim kaine is considered by many in the party to be the safe choice for Hillary Clinton. All right, and cecilia, we know the announcement could come at any moment. Do we know how hillary is going to make that news known . Well, even that is shrouded in secrecy, amy, but she has told her supporters that theyll get a text message letting them know who the name is so we expect to see that hopefully over the next day or so. Checking their phones there. George, back to you. They dont want it to leak but come in on the phones. Lets talk about this more. You just heard cecilia. Tim kaine, the safe choice. A lot of democrats i talk to think if she really wanted to grab the mantel she would pick elizabeth warren. No question that Hillary Clinton has what i believe really four stellar individuals to pick from. I keep hearing tim kaine myself. And by the way, im a tim kaine fan. He was the chair of the Democratic Party as well as the former governor of virginia. You know, governor vilsack, the agriculture secretary, cory booker, there are so many people in the mix, i keep hearing that it is down to two candidates and we might know something later today. George, i think shes got a big choice to make. Its either a safe choice to say were experienced and safe and steady, three yards and a cloud of dust, or shes going to throw it way down the field and make a big pick as you say to embrace the idea of change in the course of this. My thought is that theyre afraid to put two women on a ticket and how that would be received by the american public. An interesting echo of 1992 when bill clinton chose al gore, you know, two guys from the south. Here, we would have two women from the northeast, but my sense is they dont feel they need to throw a long ball here. They feel that, you know, kaine would be a solid pick. If he could help them take virginia they believe halfway home. Its her thing to try to step on any bounce Donald Trumps going to get from last night. I tell you one thing the last thing democrats will do is make the American People depressed. Well help lift the spirit of america so get ready, gentlemen, im going to make them dance. Im going to make you dance. George, after being with matt all week, i had to lose something. You guys will be here sunday on this week and of course the whole team every night of the Democratic Convention. Back to amy. All right, george, thanks so much.
