A bank of fog. Traffic moving right along, and so are we. Feeling a little bit like a rebel today. Sal, gasia, i know you guys have a little rebel in you. A little bite. Probably less than you, but i like it. I dont know. Its good, right . Lets keep going. Lets do it. Welcome to the 9. I should have said that long time ago. New this morning, Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsberg says she regrets her Public Comments and criticism about donald trump. Ginsberg said in a statement that judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. She promise toss be more circumspect in the future. Last week she said she didnt want to think about the prospect of trump winning the presidency. She called trump a faker and joked about moving to new zealand if he were to be elected. Trump responded by calling for ginsberg to resign because, quote, her mond is shot. Officials in cleveland say they are ready for the Republican Convention. The Convention Starts on monday. Security is a top priority among city leaders and everyone heading to ohio for the convention. The president of the police union had complained for months officers hadnt been trained and wouldnt have the equipment they needed because that equipment was ordered late. The police chief says security is a critical priority and his department is ready for large crowds. Ohio law allows people to openly carry guns, but there is a secure zone around the Convention Hall will guns will not be allowed. As we approach the convention, donald trump is expected to announce his pick for Vice President at 8 a. M. Tomorrow our time. Who are the candidates likely to be hired, so to speak . Doug luzader has more this morning from washington, d. C. Reporter donald trump indicated on twitter that he would make his decision for Vice President known tomorrow in manhattan, but his short list seems pretty clear. The trump motorcade leaves a country club in california yesterday. But trump spent much of the day in indiana for final round vp interviews that included indiana governor mike pence, former House SpeakerNewt Gingrich and new jersey governor chris christie. I am narrowing it down. I mean, i am at three, potentially four. But in my own mind i probably am thinking about two. Reporter which two . Pence is seen as a pick that could help win over conservatives. I am honored to be on that list. Reporter another possibility, former trump rival chris christie, who has since become a trusted advisor. For his part, gingrich thinks its down to him and pence. I suspect sometime tomorrow that mike and i will both gets phone calls and one of us will be packing our bags to go to new york and the other one will be going to watch it on tv. Reporter trump has challenges ahead in a race that is difficult to decipher. A fox news poll shows clinton up in colorado by points and ahead in virginia. But another poll shows statistical ties between clinton and trump in florida, ohio, and pennsylvania. Trumps running mate could help build enthusiasm. But the actual selection is still a mystery. The point he made at the end of our meeting to all of us was only one person knows who is gonna be the Vice President , and that person doesnt know yet. Reporter this, though, may be something of a clue. This was just released this morning. Its a list of speakers for the Republican Convention taking place next week. Newt gingrich is listed as a speaker. So is chris christie. Mike pence is not. In washington, doug luzader, fox news. Hillary clinton so far has been tightlipped about her potential running mates. Word is massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren has made the candidates short list. Clinton got her endorsement earlier this month. Other names that have been rumored at the list of candidates are virginia senator tim cain and housing secretary castro of texas. The democrats have their convention in philadelphia starting july 25. Joining us this morning is political analyst donny fowler. Yesterday Newt Gingrich said something pretty funny. He said this thing has seemed like an episode of the apprentice, you know, that reality show where he was choosing people. This time he is choosing someone to be his running mate right out there on tv. You are hired. Not youre fired. Right. It is always a great circus the few weeks before each political partys convention. Who is the vp going to be . The first and most important priority from a Political Campaign point is dont make a mistake. The second most important qualitycation is can you actually be qualification is can you help the president be a better president . If for some reason he or she leaves, can you step in . The speculation and gamesmanship and the stakes is fun. But this is a very serious choice and its going to say a lot about Hillary Clinton and donald trump. The names on the short list now, new jersey governor chris christie, former House Speaker, Newt Gingrich, mike pence, long careers in public service. They bring pluses, but also baggage. Each of them individually . Thats right. If you are Hillary Clinton, youre looking to do one of two things. Help win a battleground state, so you look at a senator from virginia or senator from ohio, sharon brown. Maybe you get a half a point or a point and you put virginia or ohio over the top. The second thing she might be looking for is to energize democrats. You know, especially the Bernie Sanders people who some of them still feel disappointment. So maybe that is Elizabeth Warren. For donald trump he has to solve a problem, and that is he has never been in public service. He is not really prepared to be president. So can he pick someone with grav itis. Also, he has to pick an attack dog. Donald trump himself is a pretty good attack dog. Someone who backs his word . Right. Who could go after Hillary Clinton. The scrappy one. Its hard to believe anyone can outdo donald trump on that. It seems to me just from watching him that those two guys, thats what his heart says. His head may say mike pence . Thats right, sal. You nailed the two choices. Somebody who is vocal, attack dog. There is nobody better than Newt Gingrich except donald trump at that. Mike pence has been a congressman, head of Foreign Policy committee in the u. S. House of representatives and Current Governor of indiana. He brings some calmness to a campaign thats often seen as a little bit fraying at the edges. Wouldnt you say it means postelection . You have to get elected first. Then you become the Vice President. I think about florida, ohio, some other battleground states for Hillary Clinton. But you would want someone who could win those states . Thats right. But you can also make the mistake. Think sarah palin. You know . So for trump specially, the newcomer to politics, this pick is going to be another statement about his judgment and his qualifications to be president. You think. Pence wont help him win a state, but might give him some seriousness that he doesnt have. When we vote in november and you bring up sarah palin, you think people are voting, you know what . I am not going to vote because palin is on the ticket. It made john mccain look a little less serious. Donald trump needs to look more serious. Mike pence offers that. On the other hand, Newt Gingrich is more animators the. He has more ideas. So he could bring more energy to the Trump Campaign than governor pence. He is also good on tv. He has been on all the shows. Yes. Debates. Yeah. He is going to be on, you know, all the news channels. Lets switch the topic to the most recent quinnipiac poll that puts trump essentially even with clinton in florida, ohio, pennsylvania. Moral standards, honesty, a high issue here and evening these two up . Yes. This is an election thats going to be about character and values. Less so about issues. The American People are largely divided between democrats and republicans, even those who call themselves independents are going to predict about whether they are going to vote democrat or republican. So we are looking at a close race. 40 of the American People will vote republican. 40 or more for Hillary Clinton. So you have only got a few people in the middle. What happens in virginia, ohio, florida, the three biggest states up for grabs, is really important. This is probably going to be a close election because the American People are closely divided. How big of an issue are the Hillary Clinton emails in this poll . There is a narrative about every president ial candidate. We have a narrative about donald trump. He is wild. He is unprepared. He shoots from the hip. The narrative about Hillary Clinton is very experienced, but a little untrustworthy. So every story that you add to support that narrative about Hillary Clinton hurts her. It solidifies the narrative. This email, the decision about having a private email server in her house, solidifies the existing narrative. It doesnt change it. Donny, i want to ask you something quickly about the republican platform. It seems like its much more conservative than four years ago. What are they doing . Are they trying to win the hard liners who may not be tempted to vote for trump otherwise . Thats exactly right. The Republican Party and the Democratic Party have a challenge of turning out their strongest, most fervent conservative and liberal voters. The people for ted cruz on the Republican Party, the people for Bernie Sanders on the left for the Democratic Party. So you want to appeal to make sure they vote. If they vote, they are going to vote for donald trump. But you have to make sure with the republican platform being so very, very conservative, you have to make sure that they want to go vote. Even if its not for donald trump, they are voting for a conservative agenda. We will have trumps announcement live on mornings on 2 at 8 00 in the morning, i believe. Donny, thank you. Going to be exciting. This morning turning to you and asking who would you like to see as Vice President . And does that vp pick sway your vote . We asked the question earlier on mornings on 2. A number of responses. Real quick what vaughn had to say. He says honestly to me its anyone with a great sense of humor and awesome personality. Someone fun to watch on tv. This is what we need. Jack nelson says pence is too soft. New jersey governor christie has the bridgegate scandal. If you want to respond, we will talk about it later in the newscast. Use the hashtag ktvu or tvuthe9.
