Host 2027488000 for democrats. 2027488001 for republicans. 2027488002 for independents. Lets begin with a call from right here in philadelphia. Barbara, good morning. Democrat. Caller i was really impressed with how they showed all the work that hillary has done. To me, it is not so much important that it is a woman being elected as it is a person of integrity. On my friends supported bernie. All my friends supported bernie. I stuck with her because i cap saying come i dont believe knowing what i know about her from watching cspan, reading the newspapers, just knowing that she wasnt what they kept saying, saying she is crooked she did a wrong thing with the emails, that is true. But it was proven she had no vicious reason to do it. It was just a stupid. Host did you learn some things about secretary clinton last night that you did not know . Caller absolutely. I thought that was the greatest show they did to show all these people, real people, explaining what she accomplished in her lifetime and wrapping it up with bill to go down the line and say this is who this woman really is. She is not a showman, she is not a what to doopdeedo person. Host pat in dallas calling in on the republican line. Caller good morning, cspan. I really enjoy your programming every morning. No, im not impressed with Hillary Clinton. Im old enough to know all the scandals. I feel like she got is in trouble while she was secretary of state. The clintons have taken millions of dollars and we dont know where they got it, exactly. Nor am i impressed with donald trump, either did i dont even think donald trump, either. I dont think im even going to vote this time around. Host a woman got the nomination. Is that significant to you . Caller no, because she doesnt have any integrity. Im old enough i followed her from the time they went in the white house, back to arkansas. It doesnt change my opinion of her. Host betty in massachusetts. Democrats line. Caller i loved it. I loved cspan, every single minute. Campaigning for persons 2008. I have been campaigning for her since 2008. Even i heard things i did not know last night. It was wonderful. I stayed up and watched every minute last night. I watched bills speech again this morning. She is our own homegrown Mother Teresa. I love her to pieces. She is so warm and so wonderful. Im so proud of her and im so proud of the work ive done for her. I can hardly wait i love her to pieces. Host how did you get the opportunity to meet mrs. Clinton . Caller i was lucky enough to be right in front and talk to her and shake her hand. Ive been going all over. This woman who just called and said she has no integrity, when you hear these scandals, check it out, google it. They are nothing. They are just republican bull. She reminds me of joan of arc. She does all this good and the people just malign her. It breaks my heart. We are so lucky to have her. The garbage spewed about her breaks my heart heard it really does. Host margie in indianapolis. Another democrat. Caller i just wanted to say that unfortunately as a lifelong democrat, over 30 years, i am not and cannot celebrate this. As a lifelong democrat, im embarrassed to say that im thinking about leaving the party. The way Bernie Sanders supporters have been treated and disrespected, the way through progressives have been treated is despicable, disgusting. The way True Progressives have been treated is despicable and was disgusting. I will be throwing 100 support behind dr. Jill stein of the green party. Host senator sanders played a role in saying lets go ahead and officially pass this nomination. What did you think of his role . Bernie is a man of integrity. If he had to agree to what he had to agree to in order to run with democrats, if you are on the team, you have to play ball. It doesnt matter what he says. He has to do what he has to do. I am an individual i was a lifelong democrat. I will most likely be leaving the party after the dnc scandal. There is no way i can support this person or this party. Theyve lost me and theyve lost thousands and millions of other democrats. Host linda in williamsburg virginia on our republican line. Caller good morning. I think her being selected as the democratic nominee for president shows just how much our values and our ability to discern what is going on in this country reveals. Hillary it was on one of the stations, how much money she took from so many entities or speechefor speeches. She went to india and they gave her a huge amount of money for saying things that made them feel as though they could participate in our economy without any problems. She is a serial liar. To think that she did not know how to use her computer just defies rationality. Its not the sex of someone you want to be president. It is the competence, the integrity and the transparency we want. People say, oh the first woman if you watch people at the convention, you can see that bernie was the allaround favorite and yet come at the last minute, they put pressure on those candidates to revoke their feelings and stand behind hillary and they held their nose and got her as the nominee. It is a sad day for this country. Host when you hear the term breaking the Glass Ceiling, do you think that happened last night . Caller that is just a cliche. If you want to break the Glass Ceiling, have someone that does not lie who is a role model for our children and who stands up for what is right. And doesnt enable her husband to have numerous affairs. What kind of role model is that . He is so sexually improper. The Glass Ceiling is a cliche. I would vote for a woman that had integrity. Host stephanie in milwaukee on our independent line. Hillary clinton, first woman nominated for president by a major party. Caller what was most impressive to me, not only that that historic moment happened but when the mothers who originally started the black lives Matter Movement took the stage and we saw the video of the original meeting that means its something to me because one of those mothers is from my town. One of those shootings happened in my town. They did not do it in a way this is something i did not know about her in terms of the fact that she did not make it a campaign ad or use it as a letter to get people to give her money lord knows we get enough people asking us to support this, that. People spoke about how she talked to them as one mother to another. This is what is really frustrating when they keep talking about her integrity when i happen to be a lesbian at a time when we separate a very severe blow to our we suffered a very severe blow to our community she paid a visit that was not publicized in the media. She did not make it public. She chose to let the people in the meeting make it public if theyas they saw fit. The part that really made the whole breaking the Glass Ceiling and her i knew all the policy stuff. I know the stuff we hear about all the negative stuff. What i wanted to see was a genuine person and thats what i got. Host stephanie in milwaukee. Joanne is a democrat in pittsburgh. Want to show you the front page of the postgazette. What do you think about that . Caller im tickled with Hillary Clinton. Ive loved her for years. Shes the recipient of countless humanitarian awards. She is still standing, thriving and popular after two decades of relentless attacks from the media and conservatives. She is great. As a private lawyer, she chaired the american bar group the only senator to advise the Defense Department would you elected twice by the new york safety book she made arkansas one of the first dates to embrace Early Childhood education. She got congress to triple the budget of Legal Services to aid the poor. She was named multiple times as one of the most influential lawyers. She is great. Host have you been involved on a volunteer basis in the campaign . Caller no, i have not. Except spread the news in my hometown. Host next up is alexis in wilmington, north carolina. Independent. Caller good morning. I think we might see some change when hillary gets in. As an africanamerican, as a retired woman, as a mother of a gay woman married to a woman in the coast guard, which also needs to be upgraded socially my daughter in law cannot cover her hair but so much or she has crossed the line. Rules that are meant to suppress rather than enhance. Im hoping that she will change it. Im glad Bernie Sanders stayed in the race. I voted for him. He and all his supporters will hold her feet to the fire as no one else can do because there is so much support theere. We have a chance to further womens rights this woman that was in her 30th week of pregnancy and found out her child was gravely abnormal can have an abortion and not be assaulted with accusations of murder. It is her life, her body. Shes the one that has to make those decisions for herself. That is really important to me. She is not the lesser of two evils. These females they are talking about nobodys perfect. She could have been more up on her computer skills, but im sure she was focusing on the issues at hand. It was less than 1 . Host we are live on washington journal. We will be in philadelphia all week. Lets go back to washington. A follow up on yesterdays conversation with our viewers we mentioned gallup was out with new data showing Hillary Clinton unfavorables were at 58 . The numbers are equal to donald trump. They are both at 58 unfavorable. You can go through the weeks and see how those numbers have not changed that much going all the way through july for both of them. Twitter has been putting together data on both the have not changed that much going all the wayRepublican Convention in cleveland and now, this week in philadelphia. They said yesterday the most retweeted tweets was Donald Trumps when he put this out they also said the top speaker the most mentioned dnc speaker on tuesday was bill clinton. Mothers of the movement came in number two, meryl streep and lena dunham as well. The top three moments, bill clinton concludes his speech the former president says you nominated the real one and Meryl Streeps comments as well. Bernie supporters decided to walk out of the convention yesterday when the final votes were cast when Bernie Sanders did away with the rollcall vote. They held a sit in at the medium center. The wall street journal had this tweet with video there is also this from a cnn politics reporter. Police in riot gear just inside the convention perimeter. This was about 7 00 30 last night. 7 30 last night. It Bernie Sanders supporter tweeted this out host want to show you this tweet by wendy walker. Next call is morgan in alabama on our republican line. Good morning. Hillary clinton got dominated last night. What do you think . Caller i think its exciting that we finally have a woman but i have to say, im not a huge fan of her. I always considered myself a republican until Bernie Sanders came along. He does have republican supporters. Im disappointed in the dnc. You can look at every single primary where she won, look at the exit polls that do not match the results. A margin of 2 of error the Corporate Media stop showing it. That is not ok. That is why im bernie or bust. The people who say we will cause donald trump to be elected is ridiculous because they know bernie was the only person polling higher than donald trump. If they were really concerned about donald trump being in office they would have not worked to fight against the one person who can save us. I think the dnc is corrupt i think Hillary Clinton is corrupt and she is not a good role model for millions of little girls and women. Host history was made last night, the Democratic Party nominated Hillary Clinton to be their standardbearer. Judy in new york on our democrats line. Caller im very excited about Hillary Clinton. I was at my poll in the primary i love bernie. I cannot believe you continue to believe lies about Hillary Clinton. She is not crooked. There was a report about whitewater and all this nonsense, clearing the clintons. She made 625,000 making speeches who cares . This is not important. What is important as the supreme court, womens issues, civil rights issues. Are you going to take us back to the caveman days . Im more angry than the bernie with the bernie supporters. Do some research. I had a girlfriend who told me she got fired from a job for unethical reasons it is all a bogus lie. Do some research. You have the internet, people. Dont believe articles written by people who have an agenda. Read more than just one article. Seriously. This is a woman who fought for womens rights and childrens rights by whole life. I had the convention on all day. Im impressed, even more so im from new york. She was my senator for eight years. Im excited about a woman president. We need a different perspective and leadership. Because the men have had the reins for thousands of years and look where it got us. The financial crash, war after war after war. Do the right thing. Go to the polls in november and vote for Hillary Clinton. Host there was a delegate from arizona last night on the floor that we want to show you. [video clip] im proud to be joined by age 102. Arizona casts 34 votes for senator sanders. And 51 votes for the next president of the United States of america, Hillary Clinton. [laughter] [applause] host she was born before women have the right to vote. Independent line. What do you think, diane . Caller thank you for putting me on. Am an ethical vegan. Im registered as a republican. I go with whatever party i think it is great, what donald trump is saying, just wedding things out there, mixing things up. Thats just putting things out there, mixing things up. But i cannot stand him. Every day, he was in the New York Post having to get himself out there. As far as hillary, i think it is great to have a woman president. Im a big fan of the world peace guy veganism is of the feminine. I think it is wonderful that hillary has made it this far. But im voting for clinton roberts. He is a begin of the humane party. Vegan of the humane party. Im all for rights for everybody. But the animals are the key. What we do to the animals boomerangs back into the human arena. We castrate the cows, we can find theconfine them, we give them drugs. Host barbara in eastpoint michigan. Democrat. Caller thank you. I dont know where to begin i never thought i convention could be exciting, but i could not turn it off. Its usually very boring speeches by very boring people but this has been real and real fun to watch. I really admire Hillary Clinton. Ive been watching persons she first hit the stage with her husband back in 1992. Ive been watching her since she first hit the stage. I cant believe what she is accused of she will do real well for the female population. The fact that ive been able to live long enough to see it i remember as a girl, you would go to the School Counselor and youd be told you could be a nurse or secretary or schoolteacher. They were never told that they could take power like she has done now. Until last night, i did not know that she was as compassionate as she is. Ive really enjoyed the convention. Host did you take those counselors advise . Caller i got married. Advice when you were a little girl . Caller i got married. Girls were not told to be smart or ambitious. Im 76. Host sharon in South Carolina. Republican. You have to turn down the volume on your phone. Otherwise, we get a bit of a delay. Lets talk to greta in washington. Last night at the convention, Terry Mcauliffe spoke to the crowd. After his speech, he was interviewed by politico. He was asked if she would change her mind. The Clinton Campaign quickly moved to negate that saying love governor mcauliffe, but he got this wrong. Wall street journal this morning the editorial this morning focuses on that. Clintons trade opportunism. She gets no benefit from trying to be me too trump. Donald trump seized on what happened yesterday with a picture of Terry Mcauliffe from that politico story. Here is the front page of the Philadelphia Inquirer this morning. Denise in texas. Democrat. Bernice in texas. Democrat. Caller im happy hillary was nominated this time. I support her efforts. Ive always been impressed with her from when she was in arkansas. Im just across the border. The texasarkansas border. We heard a lot in the news about the clintons. I remember hearing in the news as bill mentioned
