Michael shure joins us live from cleveland this morning. Good morning. Weve got donald trump out of the gate, did not even have to say a word to fire up the crowd but how did he do overall . Good morning. It really does still feel like good evening. Its been a long one here in cleveland. How he did if you ask donald trump, he did very well. He came to be himself, to be the person who breaks this debate up, who breaks up this race. He broke to the decorum of republican president ial politics right from the very beginning. He was asked questions about how he would run would he be a lone wolf out there lets say he didnt win the nomination, is there anyone on the stage who would run as an independent but donald trump has been consistent and that didnt change last night. Im looking to you to raise your hand now if y

Have the recent events and the press response to those events had any kind of impact on your officers or made them more likely to employ strategies and tactics that might actually compromise their safety or the safety of the community . Sheriff clarke mr. Chair, congressman, without a doubt its part of the Tipping Point that i talked about. You know, we need balance obviously and obviously when we find balance maintaining is going to be more difficult. An officer delaying that thing thats telling him or her to do a certain thing that doesnt happen and may cost them their lives but let me say this about the use of body cameras. I am for this, the use of this technology. I think its a force multiplier. It can only help. But what ive been advising, i think were rushing into this because we will end up with a law of unintended consequences. There are privacy issues involved. It potentially could lead to fewer people wanting to come forward and cooperate with the police, especially in our n
Do they want more or less of a Police Presence . They complain more about the actions of the police or inactions of the police . Sheriff clark they ask for more.

Haley barbour i believe when he was chair of the Republican Party made a decision that democrats didnt pay enough attention to which was in the best in electing legislatures, legislators and republican governors for a lot of reasons he wanted to do it but when reapportionment comes up we can bridge line in congress and have a bunch of people that believe what we believe which happens to be the tea party in Haley Barbours case govern america or at least be obstructionist to american progress. They did it and they did pretty well 20 years ago. That is why we are in the mess we are in. One of the points that i made to democrats is listen im just speculating here but one of the challenges to taking back Congress Might be that they gerrymandered these districts so effectively after they did that its really tough to win and so if you ele
