President barack obama, Vice President joe biden, both supporting Hillary Clinton to thunderous applause and passing the baton on to her and along the way, introducing the vp nominee tim kaine. Thank you. Reporter from the man who needed no introduction 12 years ago tonight, i addressed this convention for the very first time. Reporter to the man who tonight needed it most. Hello, philadelphia. Reporter tim kaine presented himself to america tonight. I never expected to be here. But let me tell you how it happened. I was born in minnesota and grew up in kansas city. Reporter he held the title of mayor, lieutenant governor, governor and senator. Even speak spanish. [ speaking spanish ] reporter tonight explained why that means he deserves the title of Vice President. Hillary clinton and i are [ speaking spanish ] and we share this basic belief. It is simple. Do all the good you can and serve one another. Reporter hes now on the official ticket with Hillary Clinton backed by command vp joe biden. God willing, Hillary Clinton will write the next chapter in that journey. We are america. Reporter and on the ticket, opposing donald trump. We cannot elect a man who belittles our closest allies, while embracing dictators like that in your putin. I mean it. A man who seeks to sow division in america for his own gain. And disorder around the world. A man who confuses bluster with strength. We simply cannot let that happen as americans. Period. Reporter trump tonight got the introduction democrats felt he deserved. Trump says he wants to run the nation like hes running his business . God help us. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] im a new yorker. And i know a con when i see one. Does anyone really believe that a guy who spent his seven years 70 years showing no regard for working people is suddenly going to be your champion . Reporter most words were meant for tim kaine. Tim kaine is as good a man, as humble and as committed a Public Servant as anybody that i know. Reporter second on the ticket, but first at the Democratic National convention tonight. God bless all of you. On to victory and thank you, philadelphia. Elect Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States and show the world with we still believe in the promise of this great nation. Reporter so many amazing moments on the stage out here tonight. When Hillary Clinton came out here, i can tell you her entire crowd erupted into cheers. Look at the stage right now actually. They are in the process of transforming this for the big night tomorrow night, Chelsea Clinton introduces her mother, then Hillary Clinton takes the stage late in the evening in prime time to formally accept the democratic nomination for president. Like you said, there were so many big moments tonight but at the very end when the crowd was erupting and Hillary Clinton walked onto stage, and she gave a big hug to president obama, what was it like . It looked like a very powerful moment. You know, it was so incredibly powerful. We knew just moments of before that she was actually in philadelphia, that she might come out on stage but i can tell you no one out here had any idea. She looked well rested, and she looked emotional. If you look at her face when she walked on the stage, for the first time Hillary Clinton looked like she had tears in her eyes, so thankful for that rousing speech that president barack obama gave her. And so ready to accept the nomination tomorrow night. Ross palombo in philadelphia tonight, thank you. Joining us now professor of politics at usf, james taylor. And political analyst brian sobel. Let me begin with you, we were talking earlier, you said you thought the president hit a home run and thought he did it with three messages and an overall theme. Right. I looked at the construction of the speech and i think he was talking about his own legacy, transitioning into why it ought to continue under Hillary Clinton, he made the case against donald trump very effectively. And the overarching component of the speech was that we have been trump talks about darkness. Were talking about light. Your thoughts on president obamas speech tonight . I thought was outstanding. It seemed a little bit like 2004 when he was aspiring to become president. Even cited the audacity of hope but i thought he tried to sort of present a very colorful picture opposite of what the bleak picture that donald trump and the republicans offered up in cleveland. I thought he tried to suggest as Ronald Reagan that its morning in america and theres a disconnect between what obama sees as the optimism of the moment and the pessimism of peoples real feelings and thats what donald trump is taking advantage of. Not that the is is that these people are in distress and the question is who will speak for them . Hillary, obama or donald trump . They are available to any of them to articulate the reasons. They took on donald trump tonight. The president did. I thought it was interesting how he did it kind of with humor but very serious humor. Hes a great orator. And a great speechwriter himself. And i think that he did a very good job of taking donald trump apart. All night long, there were four people that came up there to take donald trump apart. The question is, whether the American People kind of tuned out after speaker one or two. The only thing that scared me about obamas smile is it reminded me too much of coach steve kerr in the bay area around game seven. Like we got this one. We got them where we want them. Its like down 31. Didnt work out. Exactly. And i saw that laughing at donald trump and his comments is dangerous. Because its almost an arrogance attached to it that people will misinterpret and it will backfire. Lets talk about tim kaine. Hillary clinton struggles with white male voters. He was chosen to appeal to the bluecollar white man. Did he do his job tonight . Was he effective to reaching out to those voters who she struggles with . Yes. In the sense that he is the everyman, the guy that you would have a burger and a beer with. You know . Hes very informal in the way that he speaks. And these other people are very polished public speakers, on the National Stage for a long time. Were talking about biden and president obama. So i think he made a connection. And well see how that plays out over time. I do think a lot of people are putting too much emphasis on this element that is appealing donald trump appeal to, if you look at the 2008 and 2012 voting turnout, white voting performance and turnout declined by 7 million between 2008 and 2012. It went down 7 million. Going in the wrong direction. For everyone to signal all of this potential and this element that supports donald trump, they dont typically show up at the polls at the end of each fouryear convention cycle. We end up looking out and saying, they didnt show up. Theres a disappearing white voter. Were talking about donald trump can win with the white vote alone . I would add that these conventions are big and everybody has a good time and you see the bump which weve talked about and well get a bump after this one and then it recedes and we going to darkness for a while. On the campaign trail. Then it picks back up. So thats what were looking to, what survives from these conventions . As teams . Obama has 56 Approval Rating right now. People like him and this is one of the highest Approval Ratings of an incumbent lameduck president in american history. People feel miserable, the missouri index and this idea of people not feeling good about things. But then the disconnect because people say they are happy with obama right now. Not happy but approve of his job. Thats a real issue. Going to be a historic night tomorrow. Seems like its been building toward that. A good night tonight if the democrats. Yeah. And steve kerr online one. [ laughter ] sorry, coach. Good one. The smile. Were going to be them. And well have two rings in a row. Well see you tomorrow night. Hillary Clintons Campaign organization is set to be far more developed than Donald Trumps and could make a difference come november. Here in the bay area tonight we found its already in action. Volunteer for california. How are you doing . Two Dozen Campaign volunteers worked the phone bank set up at a restaurant in San Franciscos west neighborhood.
