Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley, reporting tonight from the Democratic National convention in philadelphia. Pelley this is our western edition. The democrats official theme here tonight is united together. But deep divisions were exposed today. The Democratic National committee apologized to Bernie Sanders for leaked emails that suggest officers of the dnc were attempting to undermine the Sanders Campaign in favor of Hillary Clinton. The controversy forced the dnc chair to resign and give up her role at the convention, including gaveling it to order. Not the way Hillary Clinton wanted to start her week. We start with nancy cordes. Nancy . Scott, things were getting so tense here on the floor that the clinton camp asked sanders to send a text to his delegates asking them not to protest as a courtesy to him. Still, we are hearing a mixture of boos and cheers every time one of these speakers mentions Hillary Clintons name. By nominating Hillary R
He had 17 candidates running, one of whom was larger than life. Theyre bringing drugs, theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapist. I spent most of my time doing press interviews commenting on what donald trump said. Oh, i dont know what i said. I dont remember. Hes not a serious candidate. Hes inflammatory. Jeb bush is a lowenergy person. Im not going to scream at people. His campaign is a disaster. Its because i came along. This is like a alternative universe. Build build build the wall. Who is going to pay for the wall . Who . The heartbreaking part of this, i think people are going to feel betrayed. This is a movement, folks. This is a big beautiful movement. Looking back on it, im not sure what i could have done. Good evening from new york, one week from tonight, we will be heading up our prime time coverage of the Republican National convention in cleveland. When you think about it at exactly this time last summer, jeb bush was being written about as the republican parties air apparent
And i know donald trump will stand with me and other proud americans to secure our border. Donald trump will build the w l wall. Build that wall build that wall build that wall and restore restore law and order and keep drugs and Illegal Immigrants from entering into our country. You know, i will never forget donald trump and what he did for my wife. I have been married to ava for 59 years, and during the campaign she was diagnosed with cancer. Just before going on national Tv Donald Trump called my wife and talked to her for five minutes. His subsequent trips, he never forgot to think of my wife and call her. He did not have to get my support through his kindness to my wife because i was already hooked. Lets elect a leader who will stand up for america. And protect our border and supports Law Enforcement and the military and in doing so, unite our country. Lets elect donald trump. Thank you. The Republican Convention starts off with two very strong statements of support for donald tru
This is it. Hillarys big night. The biggest stage shes had this entire campaign to make a case for herself as the next president of the United States, to try to convince americans not to put donald trump in the oval office.

Joining me now is democratic senator Sherrod Brown of ohio, who will be speaking in prime time later tonight. This is both more fun than you had in cleveland when i saw you last, more substantive and a whole lot less dark. Right . Do you wonder, im glad you started on that note.

Do you wonder, are there folks in your state, lots of them, who just feel like things are not going well, that that rhetori
Penalty, even condoms for porn stars . All decided on tuesdays and you watched us for a dozen or so Election Nights, we spent two full weeks for the conventions this cleveland and in philadelphia. We covered all four debates together. Finally now, nia Malik Henderson, Gloria Borger and David Axelrod with me on my program. But first, i said something earlier today that provoked a strong reaction. My view hasnt changed. In fact, i think it needs to be said again. Elections used to be an end point. One celebrated, another licked wounds and people moved forward. We live in polarized times with many causes and well known milestones. What among them was eight years ago when at the time, president obamas inauguration was taking place, senator mitch mcconnell, now the majority leader, implored his fellow republicans, the single most important thing that we want to achieve is for president obama to be a oneterm president , unquote.
