Mr. Clinton those with more carerdays than tomorrows more about our children and grandchildren. The reason you should elect her is that in the greatest country on earth, we have always been about tomorrow. Your children and grandchildren will bless you forever if you do. God bless you, thank you. The one advantage that democrats have over the republicans is glitz. Alicia keys sang. Meryl streep had a walkon part. Hillary clinton said she had made millions of cracks in the Glass Ceiling when she fought for the nomination, but now it has been shattered. Clinton if there are little girls that stayed up late to watch, let me say that i may first woman president , but one of you is next. Thank you, i cannot wait to join you in philadelphia. Jon some cried with joy, but that mrs. G shows clinton has a lot of negatives. The Glass Ceiling in november will not give way easily. Jon sopel, bbc news, philadelphia. Katty although this is the democratic convention, everyone is talking about donald trump and when he gave an hourlong press conference in florida, suggesting that the Russian Intelligence Services should look into finding Hillary Clintons missing emails from her server. Youremp russia, if listening, i hope you find the missing. Mails that are missing i think that you will probably be rewarded mightily by the press. Katty how unusual is all of this . I discussed with the former u. S. Ambassador to nato and a foreignpolicy advisor to the clinton campaign. Lets pick up on what donald trump was suggesting. Have you ever heard of an american political candidate in fighting a foreign governments Intelligence Services to cyber attack a political candidate . No. It is a unique statement and preposterous. It is shameful to suggest our major adversary, russia we know that they are targeting americans would now target Hillary Clinton at Donald Trumps suggestion. He said he might consider recognizing russian is it illegal annexation of crimea and russia. Ctions on this stands on its head the Foreign Policy of the United States of dwight d. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, both president bushs it is a complete break. It is kid gloves treatment of russia and the consistent denigration of americas allies in europe. It is a startling change. He will not have public support. You can see how he is being repudiated by his own party today. Katty as you watch this Election Campaign layout, and you are a close advisor to the Hillary Clinton campaign, how critical is the choice that americans are making in the Foreign Policy in november . The terroristhave threat here, in europe, and the middle east. We know that we have always stood for democracy. That is what nato is. It takes the pressure off of meaning we do not have to go it alone, that taxpayers do not have to shoulder the burden of financing the military. I was an ambassador to 9 11 in nato. They came to our support. Katty going back to going back to 1949. They are all in afghanistan supporting us pure and is donald trump suggesting we should go it alone in 2016 . This is not the 19th century. Outink that it will turn that we want to be judicious in our Foreign Policy. People want to respect the lessons of iraq, but they do not want america to be a small power are not live up to the commitments of our friends. Katty im sure you have heard, but if donald trump is elected he could impact more around the world then in the United States because of the divide. If there is a Democratic Party in the senate. What do you say to americas allies that you speak to during the course of the campaign . I are from my friends in london, berlin, the middle east, and paris all the time. There is acute concern that he is this close to the presidency. That he is not being creamed in the polls. Worried. E but they count on from america is consistency, logic, strength, intelligence in Foreign Policy. Donald trump is exhibiting none of that. He does not have the experience. He has shown poor judgment. To be go courting with vladimir putin, one of the Great International outlaws, is a mistake in judgment. Will americas Foreign Policy look like under the democratic presidency . It will be an extension of what president obama has done very well, but she will be her own person. So hard to know what donald trump really believes, and how he will react. Hillary clinton will believe in diplomacy, she did as secretary of state. She has believed in a Strong National defense. We should be confident. In the republican convention, im stunned by the dark dystopian vision. And also by the lack of confidence in america here and we have problems, but we are a strong country, we are respected, and we are winning in the world. I think Hillary Clinton is confident about americas leadership role and is smart enough to know we have to depend on the british, germans, and japanese. We cannot alienate them as trump is trying to do. It is a Bizarre Campaign by trump and the republicans. Katty how do Hillary Clinton Hillary Clintons chances look . Im joined by the democratic congressman from california. Congressman becerra, in the howext of the convention optimistic are you that the woman that takes the stage will be named the next resident . Youresman becerra asking the son of immigrants, the first to get a college degree. I am optimistic that Hillary Clinton will be the next president. Because i am an optimist and because she has earned it. She will prove that she has done everything it takes to become the next leader. How do you account that when you look at the battleground states that will decide the election, donald trump in some is ahead of Hillary Clinton at the moment congressman becerra . Messages beingy sent by the american voters. They are unhappy with their situation. That they are not making enough progress economically. The are concerned about the violence, foreign terrorism or domestically created terrorism. They want results. Theyre looking at who can do that. I believe when they look at the two candidates, there is a choice. They will select hillary. Candidate has high disapproval ratings. They know who Hillary Clinton is the issue will not change a lot of mines. Does that worry you . Congressman becerra Hillary Clinton has not been battered by republicans. She has been taken to the woodshed for two decades by republicans. Shouldnt surprise people that what makes Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton has been put out in a somewhat distorted way. I think she will have a chance to prove to people who she is. Katty you have run for election and know how hard it is to change peoples perception. If Hillary Clinton will be the president , they have to change the narrative. That is very hard to do. Congressman becerra it is, but she is capable. I believe though clinton did a ary good job of setting platform in place. Michelle obama did a fantastic job. I believe that tonight president obama and Vice President biden president i want to say i want to say a liked tim kaine will do a good job of giving her a chance to hit it out of the park. I feel very good about her chances. I know who she is. I hope others have an opportunity before they vote to know who she is. Katty donald trump is getting like one quarter of the hispanic vote given what he said about mexicans and the wall . Congressman becerra if he is, im willing to wager that it will not be there come election day. It is kind of ironic to hear republicans boasting they may be getting 25 of the vote. Three out of every four in the Latino Community will go elsewhere. You need 40 for the republicans to win. Mety thank you for joining in philadelphia. More news from america.
