This november when we go to the polls, that is what were deciding. Not democrat or republican, not left or right, no, in this election and every election is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives. Trust, you could hear it there, trust a key word from Michelle Obama. Unity a key word for Bernie Sanders. This election is about which candidate understands the real problems facing this country and has offered real solutions. By these measures, any objective observer will conclude that based on her ideas and her leadership, Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States. Team clinton was grateful for that. But it was not all kumbayya. The comedian Sarah Silverman responded to cheers and jeers when she said its time to rally around Hillary Clinton. Unity, unity, unity. The bernie can i just say to the bernie or bust people, youre being ridiculous. That one of the many priceless moments on day one. With us to share their insights heading into day two, julie pace, Jonathan Martin of the new york times, and cnns nia malik henderson. Lets begin with the conversation on Michelle Obama. I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. And ive watched my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women, playing with their dogs on the white house lawn. And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take more granted that a woman can be president of the United States. Dont let anyone ever tell you that this country isnt great. That somehow we need to make it great again. Because this right now is the greatest country on earth. How about that for a notsosecret weapon . That was quite the convention address. It had everything that i think you want to accomplish as a speaker. It was emotional, it was powerful, it was politically pointed without being over the top in terms of mentioning trump. She actually never mentioned his name. And for Hillary Clinton, i think she did something really important, she was speaking to women. And she was saying, think about your children, im telling you a story of my children and the future i want for them. Think about your children and who they want to see in the white house. It fits in perfectly with the voter that is Hillary Clinton needs to swing in this election. And i think that a lot of democrats would like to see Michelle Obama out on the campaign trail for the next couple months pushing that message. Another thing she mentioned that i thought was really interesting is how her kids have had to listen to some of the birther attacks. Let me stop you there because i want to play that. Youve right, julie, did not mention donald trump by name, but she left no secret about this. And thats one of the reasons both obamas are critical to secretary clinton. For both obamas it seems this is very persisteonal. How we urge them to ignore those who question their fathers citizenship or faith. How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on tv does not represent the true spirit of this country. How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you dont stoop to their level. No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high. Thats pretty skillful rhetoric, too, because she was not actively denouncing trump, she was sort of casting it through the objective of their conversation with their daughters. Totally. It sort of dulled the knife a little bit but not too much. So i thought it was pretty effective. And its easy to forget that the kids have grown up hearing this and they had to address it. So youre right, it was a good construct to address trump without ever saying his name. Such an all hands on deck moment for the democrats if you think about it. Elizabeth warren, well get to Bernie Sanders in a moment, the Vice President was in the hole, well show you anymore a moment. They think Michelle Obama goes to the Africanamerican Community but out to the suburbs where most president ial elections are decide in the suburbs. When you look at what shes done so far in 2010 and 2014, she was in wisconsin, for instance, she was in nevada, she went to georgia in 2014. They very much feel like she can play with young people and africanamericans and latinos. And with suburban voters, too, suburban white women. If you look at the strengths of Hillary Clinton so far, she is she looks like shes benefiting from something of a real lineman in terms of College Educated white voters shifting to the Democratic Party. The loss is among nonCollege White voters, but it looks like shes gaining ground among the College White educated voters and Michelle Obama will be helpful in pressing that case. Team clinton was thrilled in not how she said it but what she said and how eager she was to be a part of the campaign. Bernie sanders i want to get to now. Before i get to bernie, the Vice President will speak tomorrow night. He was in the hull doing a test run. He says theres frustration with the bernie people. Some of them are having a hard time. Joe biden says give them a minute. They are going to be fine. Look, they worked hard. We want to show a little class and let them be frustrated for a while. Its okay. How long do you think, Vice President . Hey, they are all going to end up voting for hillary. Do you think any of them are going to vote for trump . Raise your hand if you think any of the people protesting in here are going to go vote for trump . Some say they will. No, come on. Then they didnt support what bernie stands for. Its not every day you get to be down on the Convention Floor with the Vice President. He was supposed to be in wilmington and decided to come up to the convention. I want to show the energy in the hall last night, 40 to 45 of the delegates are Bernie Sanders supporters. They are all wearing their tshirts, buttons and signs. Some of them are moving in the unity way, but they want to celebrate one last time. Look at this energy last night. Thank you. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. Now he earned that. Bernie sanders earned that. He was a pt vote against a battleship i used to say during the primaries, and the pt boat made a dent. He understands the skepticism among his supporters. Here he is this morning among the california delegation, sanders is trying to make the case again. As you see, there are skeptics. What we must do or forever look back in regret is defeat donald trump and elect Hillary Clinton. It is easy to boo, but it is harder to look your kids in the face who will be living under a donald trump presidency. Thats some of the toughest stuff hes said. It was off the cuff there. It may have been better for the party to say that kind of thing last night to millions of people instead of this morning at the california delegation. I think the Vice President wanted to let his people let off a little steam last night. Yeah. The emotions in that room, if i didnt know any better, i would have thought i was at Bernie SandersConvention Last night. There was a sense from the Clinton Campaign they needed to let the sanders supporters have monday, have Opening Night. Hes the headline speaker. Elizabeth warren is a favorite of liberals, a keynote speaker. They added extra sanders supporters to the lineup at the last minute to give them more of a voice. I feel like they can now move on. I dont know if the sanders supporters feel that way. But it was right to let them have part of this day. Bernie sanders for a year now has talked about Hillary Clinton as being captive to wall street, captive to the 1 , taking money from big donors. I mean, she was the enemy of the sanders supporters, those diehard folks. Now he has to unwind that and hes only been doing that for a while. It could take time. The question is how long does it take . We have a photo from the floor last night when you were talking about the energy. It was quite amazing. They are excited to be here, some were disappointed and crying when bernie came out. I think we have a photo from the Bernie Sanders people. I also found a fabulous tweet, a Des Moines Register reporter with the iowa delegation had a sanders supporter who said, bernie gave us mt. Dew for months and now is telling us to go to bed. You cant put a resolution back in a box that easily. Youre storming the bastille. Youll just go back to your house that afternoon. So its difficult. I also want to point out to you but republicans want to say, disarray. Is it disarray or they are talking about the sanders all of a sudden, look at them, they have been betrayed. They are going to go to trump and not vote. So the concern from republicans has been funny to watch. I really think this is different than what we saw in the Republican Party last week with the convention. I mean, optically, you do have the whole Democratic Party here. You didnt have that in cleveland. But i also think that some of these sanders voters already when you talk to them say, i dont like her, i dont trust her but im going to vote for her. You are seeing that movement happen. There are a lot of republicans in cleveland that dont believe trump belongs in their party. Many say hillary is not liberal enough but dont question shes a democrat. Right. Two fast points, the polling reveals there are more sanders supporters to support Hillary Clinton than this time eight years ago than hillary supporters who said they are going to back obama. Secondly real fast, a lot of people in the hall arent event democrats. Its important to keep that in mind. There are hardcore bernie people there who have no label to the party and dont care about unity. They are there for bernie only. Bernie became a democrat last night officially, i dont mean that disrespectly at all, he was an independent, a lot of democrats questioned his commitment to the party, they dont today because of what he said last night and this morning. Team clinton is thrilled with what he said. The question is will he bring the supporters along. Day two, the Democratic National convention making history.

And this evening we get to watch a historic moment for Hillary Clinton and the country plus a reminder, Bernie Sanders gave her a run for her money. And let me thank the 13 million americans who voted for the Political Revolution giving us the 1,846 pledged delegates here tonight. I look forward to your votes during the roll call. Hes clearly looking forward to this. But last night we just talked about bernies night. Tonight, make no mistake, this is Hillary Clintons night, shell make history. The Democratic Party will nominate the first woman major Party Candidate for president. And i told my colleague, maybe he has his vermont delegation at the end after sanders gets a move to nominate Hillary Clinton. So clearly unity tonight and history. I think that is really important to remember. We are in this election cycle where everything has been so heated. And you can forget, especially with Hillary Clinton who has been in our lives for so long, that shes making history. A woman has never crossed this line in politics before. Its really an amazing thing. I think she feels more comfortable with that idea than she did in 2008. I think youre going the see her and others embrace that over the next couple of days. And i think she also hopes that reminding people of that may be will generate excitement lacking among her supporters. And this will be a night where people are reminded what a fighter Hillary Clinton is, everyone talks about how shes a fighter. There are going to be stories from people in her past to talk about that narrative exactly and reintroducing Hillary Clinton to the public. They might not know. She better be a fighter because as you talk to the democrats here, they are not involve in the president ial race, they are involved in senate races and helping super pacs, i was polling last week and did focus groups last week, trump is on the move. Hillary has a fight on her hands. Every second matters. We saw that in the poll released yesterday, a sixpoint bump for him out of this convention. Youll have to check again after this convention. But they got some work to do in terms of Hillary Clinton. An article was written in the new yorker wrts where he talked about the hate hillary movement. He wrote that in 1996. So they have work to do in terms of reversing the core ideas that people have come to feel and think about Hillary Clinton. I think they are going to try to reintroduce her the best they can and tell stories about her that arent that broadly known in the country. But lets be honest, the next few months for her campaign is going to be about trying to define donald trump and making him totally unacceptable to the broader electorate. Thats what Michelle Obama was doing last night. Thats the tenure of the campaign from here to november. Thats interesting, how do they deal with the trustworthy and honesty numbers which are bad. But i thought it was interesting last night trying to build up other balances, the counter balance. You can trust her, shes a mom, shes a steady hand, tenacious. One of her achieve character witnesses tonight will be her husband. And this is his own piece of history. A former president of the United States standing up there saying, my wife, my spouse should be the next president of the United States. Now, bill clinton, this will be speech number ten. Speech number ten to a democratic convention. I was standing on the platform back in 1992 when he was a democratic nominee. Thats when a lot of americans probably remember bill clinton. He was a new democrat then. Boy has the party moved to the left since bill clinton. But heres a little flavor, 1992. Embraced by her struggles but never challenging alone. With family and friends with endless dreams, a country that once again lifts its people and inspires the world. Let that be our cause, our commitment and our new covenant. My fellow americans, i come here tonight where it all began for me. Bill clinton, i had color back in my hair back in those days, too, thats 1992. The obama people will tell you despite the testy relationships over the years, in 2012 bill clinton came into the hall and made a better case for the president s reelection than the president did. Heres 2012. We simply cannot afford to give the reigns of government to someone who will double down on trickle down. We believe that were all in this together. It is a far better philosophy than youre on your own. Im fascinated by this moment. They call him the big dog. He likes to talk about himself and hes gotten into fights, if you wi
