Millions of these jobs overseas. Your vote will decide whether we protect lawabiding americans for whether we give free reign to violence anarchists and agitators and criminals who threaten our citizens. Paul lets bring in our panel wall street journal columnist and deputy Editorial Page Editor dan hand injury and columnist mariana stacy and board member cant help peterson. Dan after the Democratic Convention was clear they want to make the election about a referendum about trumpery did trumps exceed in response here to making it about something broader a broader Electoral Choice in what choice did he frame . Well i think he and the republicans did indeed succeed at that wall. They watched the Democratic Convention and they recognized it was loaded up almost entirely on appealing to voters on the basis of the president s personality and the democrats these are political events in the target certain slices of you left it at the democrats it was Younger Voters and thats why they adopted much of Bernie Sanders agenda. Minority voters they need them to when and suburban mites to serve at the president s personality but i think the president and the republicans saw that all of this created an opening for them. Over four nights many speakers described the president and the administrations and governments accomplishments and great detail. Much of that has been buried the past years over things like russian collusion mole investigations and impeachment and gave him an opportunity to talk about things that perhaps he bled not heard about it again the urban violence in the protest connected to black lives matter that is what is new in his campaign. I think with republicans and President Trump did was try to emphasize that this is a view of america that is out of sync with the way a lot of traditional voters think about the country. They indeed push that theme very hard and again is because the democrats gave them the opening to do that. They are two different visions here. Paul some of the tv pundits criticized the speeches but i talked to trumps advisers who said look at had to be long because we have explained what we had done in the first term because very few people actually know what that is because of the reasons that dan suggested. Part of the purpose here was educating voters. How successfully did they do that this week waxed i think he did a very good job not just in the threeday reporting but also when he spoke because he had to do two things. He had to talk about the government and he had to do that . A lot of that is his own because of the way he communicates with the American People and has government really been about donald trump. And the way he attacked opponents and they had to show and they had to be successful about things like cutting taxes on the economy and playing against the administrative scene and so forth. I think they did a very good job about that. A variety people they brought to the convention these first three days and then when he spoke i think a lot of the critics are disappointed because he didnt give them a lot of red meat. He sort of controlled the inner donald trump and i do think that the speech was too long but i think that it was measured and thats whats important. Paul a lot of things people have said about this convention and the speech was it needed to show voters a second term agenda. Dont just elect me on the past to give me a forward looking agenda and what will happen in the next four years. Was there enough of that in there . You mentioned it that was there enough . There was some. I would always like to have more details. He said in a speech he was going to cut taxes vary substantially and as a taxpayer id like to know whose taxes are going down and by how much and how much thats going to cost but it was focused more i think on explaining the policies that they have undertaken over the past four years an alternative to specific swing states. The second Congressional District trump got one electoral vote last time and i lost count of the number people were talking about the good things that were happening in wisconsin states are won by 23,000 votes last time, there was a smalltown mayor from the iron range in minnesota which is a historically democratic area and the state the trump lost but only by 45 dozen votes so i think there was more policy than the Democratic Convention but it was mostly looking backward instead of forward. Paul dan you heard pence and trump time in the speech talking about it. They turn the tables on the public narrative . That was the primary point by the democrats to be sure. They at least made an argument the way the democrats didnt talk about the protest, the republicans did indeed talk about the problem the handling of the coronavirus. Paul again we will see how that plays. When we come back republicans making a direct appeal to women and minority voters at this weeks convention is Trumps Campaign attempts to expand the president s appeal beyond his base rate so, will it work .

I am the proud daughter of it indian immigrants and the people of South Carolina chose me as their first minority and first female governor. America is a story that is a work in progress. Paul ambassador in South Carolina governor nikki haley making an appeal to women and minority voters on the first night of the Republicans National convention as the Trump Campaign in the gop seek to expand their base of support. Mary what did you make of the pitch from nikki haley and a whole slew of speakers across the four day is . I thought nikki haley hit it out of the park that i was very touched by alex johnson who had been in prison for a nonviolent drug offense and donald trump talked about that and it was really very moving. I think basically donald trump is obviously looking at apple ground states and these groups of people both women and minorities who dont particularly care for him or not polling well for him and i think he made a lot of progress with these testimonies but the other thing that he tried to do and we will see how effective it is is worn these people, both women and for example in the suburbs but also minorities, how bad things might get for them under a joe biden presidency. The effectiveness on both counts i think could help him. What he needs is turnout of people who will vote for him, not just a shift in sentiment but real serious turnout. I think what hes counting on is that he can energize people who are worried about a biden presidency while people who are biden supporters may be become less. Paul kyle a big problem out of the 2018 election was the abandonment of a lot of voters of republicans in the suburbs particularly women and College Educated voters and that was a conscious effort here to try to appeal to them and both on the Public Safety point but on education and Economic Security and just with the faces. They said look Diverse Party and it was woman after woman minority after minority making very cogent and personal cases about their experiences and why policies matter to them. Right in the outreach to black voters played out in the suburbs. Suburban women dont want to vote for somebody who is lot of as a racist and thats why a lot of democrats say that President Trump is and so the question is, i mean those moves are healthy reaching out to constituencies where the gop has struggled trying to make politics less polarized by race and by gender pay President Trump is being criticized for division and give them credit for trying to close them. Paul and the School Choice issue i have been struck about how prominent it is in this convention in particular from the point of view of minority parents and their children. Why do you think this is getting so much salience nallen so much attention this year . Well probably in part because life in the inner cities is so unsettled since the coronavirus and indeed the urban violence. One of the big issues out there is whether Public Schools are going to reopen at all. Parents, working parents are trying to figure out what to do with their children. Teachers unions basically are pushing back against the idea of going back to school but it was really quite striking how often don jr. And others mention School Choice, using tax dollars to allow minority parents, blackened the spirit hispanic parents to send their children to private Parochial School and the basic leave as many of these parents are trying to rethink their commitment to the Democratic Party, the schools they are in right now im looking for real alternatives or their kids but this was a very big deal in the convention a commitment to School Choice, no question about it. Paul married the best light at the convention at least my preference was tim scott when he said his family had gone from cotton to congress in one lifetime, his grandfathers lifetime. Extraordinary statement about aspiration and upward mobility in america. Its really in contrast to the democrats who said we are systemically racist country where you cant rise. Do you agree with that . I agree with that and i think its very adjusting there was a repeated theme about how the democrats had taken minority voters for granted and minority should stop automatically voting democrat. Some important theme. Paul still ahead with the conventions behind them joe biden in all trump gear up for the final sprint to november.

That is the reality of america right now. A reality completely absent from this weeks Republican National convention. Paul that was democratic Vice President ial nominee Kamala Harris delivering a. Bottle to President Trumps speech at the Republican National convention. The Biden Campaign strategy is the president ial race heads into the final stretch. Harris criticizing the president s handling of the coronavirus pandemic saying he failed to protect the American People and thats an argument that will resonate with undecided voters but is the president and ceo of the parents group, great to see you. So you have the framing of the democrats, i would call it character Donald Trumps and covid19 versus what the president tried to do which was to expand it into a choice about your vision and the two different visions of america. Who has the better argument . Well i think what you are seeing is biden playing to daschle numbers. One of the things we have seen we have talked about this before in your show is there is a quarter of the american electorate and half of them being republicans have of them being independent voters who do not like the president s character his personal but like his politics and thats where you see an ebb and flow over time when theres a focus particular on Economic Issues the president does very well with those voters and when its his persona they fall back on that later position. A further reason some of the National Numbers last month we have seen the president on the ballot versus bidens that he threw the pandemic, through the social unrest for a variety of Different Reasons not on what he will do about the economy as we move out of this pandemic. So i think the Biden Campaign was correct going after character. That is the weak point of this president. But on the other hand i think the president did a much better job than i expected this week particularly in the first half hour in the speech. Dealing with policy without showing that part of the persona that people react to. Paul did they reframe the election enough on that point driving home the policy in presenting the contrast on the economy, on policies and social order in the streets and so want to really change the narrative of the race . I dont know whether they it certainly its the position they had to go towards and address the issue of showing trump differently than when he strained to motivate his base if you will. His bases there and they are intended he needs to concentrate on the quarter for americans where he is ebbing and flowing depending on did they like what they see in the personal or didnt like what they were hearing in terms of his economic holidays. I think it was a good step. I think think what we will see over the next week to 10 days is the impact of the two conventions particularly with half of that for being republicans has he pulled them back the one question in terms of what eide did at the convention with the democrats in the convention is they avoided the split that may be there between the more moderate democrats in the progressives. Its the one thing from this convention that i thought perhaps they went too far and applying them in the several campus opposed to aggravating that split that there and i think we see maybe a different approach as we get closer to the election. But that is kind
