Transcripts For CSPAN Democratic National Convention 20160726

Theyriting this appeared are now thinking of ways to move the Movement Without it. A lot of the supporters expect him and want him to be part of policies and leave them, but the idea that he will be able to have supporters for clinton is not going to happen. What has been happening to see . There have been stories that senator sanders will put clintons name in nomination. The roll call states will begin within the next hour. What are you hearing, if anything . A story saying birdies dangers Bernie Sanders is expected to nominate clinton. People are excited to introduce clinton to describe. Last night was sanders night. Tonight she will bring people who know Hillary Clinton well. The highlights he will have is mothers of children who have done lie in policeinvolved killings. It will be making the claims for desperate casework clinton, for those delegates thinking about whether or not to support her. The overwhelming majority of sanders supporters say they will vote for Hillary Clinton. Sometimes 60 will back her. A lot of infighting within the sanders camp. That is what tonight will be about. A lot of people are trying to corral sanders supporters. Sandersction to senator this morning. He made a round at the florida delegation this morning. The truth is not republicans lose elections, democrats lose elections. We lose elections when people give up on the political process. When 63 percent of the American People did not vote and 80 of young people did not vote. So our job it seems to me in the next few months is to do some very obvious things. Number one, we have got to elect Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States. Number two, we have got to stay focused on the most important issues. It is not just about electing candidates. It is about transforming the country. Sanders earlier today. Lets go back to your earlier point. Where does the movement go, it is sanders still the leader of this . Sanders is still the leader or the face of this movement, what struck me about those lines if he has been making the case all along. People who understand Party Politics voter turnout. I watched him stick hundreds of times. If voter turnout is high, i will win. He is taking that message to the Democratic Party and to explain to young voters. He is trying to say, that message i was giving, that the same message we have to think about. Thats what we are hearing him say. Whether or not they listen to him, or corral the people who are staunch early or lost ber bust, that is up to him. People understand the geography of this country. A supporteromebody, for massachusetts or new york , they know they can afford not to vote for Hillary Clinton get a vote to donald trump. A sanders supporter in florida, ohio, virginia, what you would do, you say i guess i am with her. Tosays you are reluctant vote, but you will vote for her because you know the alternative is trump. The people in the battlegrounds are the people in the California Television they were boisterous, but california is a solid blue state. It will be interesting when he goes to florida, because those other delegations begin with the states. We will hear from Donna Brazile later. She compared to what the delegates are doing to the seven stages of grief. Is that a fair analogy . Is some stages of grief going on. Talking to people, some people are incomplete denial. I talked to someone today can saying that superdelegates might still switch. 99 impossible. There are people who are still in denial. There are people who are whitehot 80. Angry. This is not with the Democratic Party. There are people who are accepting this, accepting this that it is either donald trump or Hillary Clinton. There are stages of grief. I talked to people who sent the rollcall vote will start and a couple minutes, and once we are done screaming about the vote, once i can cast my vote, i can tell people we did our best and worked hard. Then we can move on to Hillary Clinton. People are trying to get emotions out on the Convention Floor and then we will move on. We love the rollcall because we know why every state is the great state of whatever. It is a great tradition in american politics. Is a great tradition. As some of your viewers might know, anybody who watches netflix, when i have personal time, it is interesting to come here and realized all the things we watch on tv are based on reality. We are in philadelphia, where our country was founded. In some ways it is amazing to watch people, even though it is shocking to hear people booing, this is a democracy, the people have differences of a kenyan, that we could be doing different of opinion, that we could be doing different things. There is something that is touching about that. We will have the tally for clinton and sanders. Clinton has more than enough delegates to get the nomination on the first ballot. Let me get your reaction to what Donna Brazile said earlier this morning on what has been party andwithin the Debbie Wasserman schultz who will step down on friday. Ms. Brazile what i know is the federalrmined it was wases that alerted the dnc being hacked. Led to a very weak security breach, which now we are seeing the results of that. We are taking steps within a party, and i do not have all the evidence, because im not privy to any of the information, but we are taking very important steps to ensure that our data is never compromised government that our Security System is the best in the world. Will schultz be on the podium any night . She is the chair. I honor her wishes. Debbie made the decision today. Everybody is working to bring electarty together to clinton and kaine. Debbie is my friend and colleague, and i support her worst. Donna brazile, who headed up the Al Gore Campaign in 2000. What happened over the weekend fit into the narrative that the Sanders Campaign manager been planning about over the last year and a half. Did, and one thing that people was struck by was i talked to people who felt we felt the system is rate and this is a confirmation. When you read the emails, they are to start a. You think of all the things a were saying about sanders and thinking about religion and trying to use that. It hurt the party in some ways. At the end of the day, with ltz setting down and people bringing home the point that the party has to focus on trump, if they are lucky, this party will coming out of this convention and people will focus on donald trump. There is a lot of issues going on. A lot of people prepared for cleveland to be a raucous convention. That thealize Democratic Convention is having more action than we country yesterday there were hundreds of thousands thousands of protesters in the streets. When i was in cleveland, i saw about 300. People are very angry at the Democratic Party, which people do not understand, but if you were at a sanders rally, you know there was a deepseated anger and it people do not trust the party and felt they were favoring Hillary Clinton, and the emails hurt their case. Part of the anger is aimed at superdelegates. We see changes in 2020 . I am not sure. He said there would be changes to superdelegates. He said he wants to see changes with superdelegates. People feel because of the emails and the delegates that came out for clinton before sanders was running that people feel that system needs to be looked at again. The Congressional Black Caucus wrote a letter saying superdelegates would be an issue for them and they did not want to compete with situations for seats at the convention. Theres pushback of the idea of eliminating redundant. You have a busy afternoon and evening, so let me conclude your thoughts about what you saw last night on day one and what youre looking for in the next couple days, what story you are most interested in . The story i am most interested in is Bernie Sanders, how much of a case is he going to make for Hillary Clinton, and how much will he put his resources for Hillary Clinton . He mentioned clinton 15 times last night, to push back against he wasters and talking about that he was not going to be raising money for Hillary Clinton, but at some point people will feel sanders partisan this, and he has been urging his followers. It will be interesting to see if we see an enhancement of Sanders Clinton hitting the campaign trail. The mothers and some of the children who have been told by police, they will speak is up, as well as families of these officers, so i will see how that there to will play. It was allhe rnc about law and order, that black lives matters is a threat to democracy. Ms. Alcindor, joining us from the floor of the wells fargo center, i will let you continue with what we know is a busy afternoon. Thank you for your time. We appreciate it. Thank you so much. We are following you on our twitter page. You can share your thoughts on our Facebook Page and follow us cspan. All the speeches on our website at www. Cspan. Org. We are 15 minutes away. Roll call of states, a video presentation by jimmy carter, and bill clinton talking about Hillary Clinton tonight in the 10 00 hour. There back on ou floor with our colleague, swa in. Starting with you, what is your name and where is home . I am from las vegas, nevada, and im visiting my louisiana friends over here. You are a delegate . Yes, for Congressional District one in las vegas. You are in a pretty popular spot. There will be a lot of Facebook Pages. I love the attention. No, this is really great, having the front row seat with my friends. I love seeing the characters at the convention. Have you been to a convention before . This is my first commission. Me stay my mother let up for the convention, and here herenow, 30 years later, myself, voting for hillary, and at the time i was in love with the clinton at that time. I can you become a delegate . At the together a campaign, and for me it came from this moment in my childhood, hillary was so instrumental in creating Early Childhood programs. She put my mother to work when she was a single mother. All of that with that history and being with her all this time and seeing not only hillary move e inn her career, but m mind as an adult, it was a coming together that i felt like i need to do this. I have not been politically motivated for a few years after i got out of college. I was not interested in it. This legend cycle with hillary running, i needed to. Let me talk to your friend. You are from louisiana . Highend. I have from lake charles, louisiana. You have been a delegate for the clintons since 1992. Tell me your story. I was a delegate in 1992 when clinton ran for the first time in Madison Square gardens. With clinton being the governor of arkansas and Hillary Clinton being right above us, very proPublic Education. I have been an educator for 40 years, and consult with its with education in arkansas. I got on the band why can for bill Clinton Bandwagon for bill clintons campaign. Then when hillary decided to run, i knew it was another opportunity to look at a way to promote Public Education for every child. So i worked, collected, and i came to denver, and we were not successful than, but i knew we needed to pull together and be barack obama,ct so i worked for that for eight years, and when she announced that she was going to run again, i knew i had to do everything to be here to see the first woman nominated to be a part of because as they say, generationally, i remember my grandmother telling me stories when her grandmother could not vote, and in the south she had to pay a call tax devoted to tax to vote. L to see this happen is a legacy that i want to pass on to my my daughterinlaw and my first grandchild, a little girl, to say anything is possible in our country. It is now a time to say anything is possible for anyone and everyone, and that is why i hear to work. A big night for you. What is your name, and where is your home . I am tom anderson, from louisiana. A clinton delegate. How did you get elected . Egate. Ause of my codel what has the experience been like for you . Cspan land,dy in this is the tripledouble of democracy going on right now, and a triple dose of its, and i am loving every minute of it because the common theme that i have heard that is tolerable in this arena is love. It is something that is bigger than independence. What i realized and learned today is it is nothing but optimism in this arena, which me positive which means positive feelings everywhere. Even the booing gets a positive reaction, as we are allowed to live in a free country that allows us to goo negatively and not be thrown to boo negatively and not be thrown in jail for it. It is hard to focus on the real issues because it is so much fun, but the real issues, taking care of the least of the least and the neediest of the neediest in our country and throughout the world. This country feeds more people than any country has ever fed in the entire world. That is why so many people want to live here. That me ask one question. Is it going to be a competitive race in the fall . We will work hard to ensure that clinton is our president , rncanyone who watched the saw a spirit of fear, intimidation, and divisiveness. And i believe america will respond to that. After they see our portrayal of what the democratic wants this country, they will respond positively, because overall, this country wants the best for everyone and i think people will a at Party Politics and vote for a woman to put every american first. I think we will be victorious, and i had my plane ticket to d. C. For the inauguration. That is how confident i am. Tothank you for talking cspan. Have a good night tonight. There is a big crowd inside the wells fargo center. Were back with more calls and comments and your tweets. Saying she is laying out the facts and analysis quite clearly. cspan. Follow us your tweets and calls. Dean is joining us. Good afternoon. How are you. Centswant to put my two worth in. They were talking about hillary raising the minimum wage. Well, i do not know if they have talked about this or not. If they raise the minimum wage to 15 an hour, there will because of jobs lost. There will be people fired, thate on unemployment, so is something that they never talked about, i do not think. Alli am voting for trump the way because of all the scandals that hillary did. Thank you. Another tweet saying that you, cspan can for speaking to two women, hillary supporters come who are weeping at the making of history. This comes 96 years after women earned the right to vote, 1920, during the final year of the wilson administration. Joining us onld the phone, our line for independents. Go ahead, please. Hi. I appreciate your comments. I wanted to say that as a young person, 31, i grew up in a family who was active in politics on the democratic side. I grew up going to rallies. He campaigned for bill clinton, or ted kennedy, did a lot of stuff when i was in, for some reason all along this time i have never felt like i should commit to the Democratic Party. Until now. I am not necessarily committee to the Democratic Party, that there is something that happened this year with Bernie Sanders and the hope that he sparked in us as young people who really did not believe it was possible to a politician as honest and straightforward and caring as bernie. Its a very sad day for us today because we back him wholeheartedly, a lot of us. And i spent a lot of hours phone banking for him. I went his rallies, held hands with people i did not know. It does not matter where you come from. That is what we did. That is the kind of people he brought together. All the policies he is against, fight thewe want to 1 , we do not want big money in politics anymore. The mess we are in now is because of this. Clintons the hillary of the world. If you looked at her tax returns and bernies how much did he make last year 200,000 . 27 million . Speak to me. That sounds like people who we do not want to politics. The long line of things that have happened with hillary, the emails, this, that, endless amount of scandals, we felt this whole election process so far in has beenries completely against us. Arizona had problems voting, new york had problems early, we had problems the day before six huge state had to vote, they did an announcement that Hillary Clinton is the presumptive nominee, and half the country did not even vote. We are in a very tight spot right now. We feel hopeless. The personally, i feel hopeless. How can we possibly in our moral standards vote for Hillary Clinton now . I do not know how we can do it. I will have to take a lot of reflection because in my personal life, that just does with me, but the dnc, the emails the other day that proved everything we said and we were left at four, this election againstged ed against bernie. How can a person run for president when they have all have not evenou begun the first day and you have all this junk. They say you cannot vote for her because it will put trump in office. Has henot go there, but lied about something huge . Is he taking our countrys confidential passport information and just did whatever with it . No, he has not. I want to jump in. Thank you for adding your voice to our conversation. Bernie a tweet saying delegates are most fervent of his supporters. Berni
