i don't understand why they would do that. >> the commission on presidential debates had a word -- started working on the debates have a more than 18 months ago. a written statement reads apart, it is impossible to avoid all sporting events and there have been nights on which debates and gains occurred in most election cycles. a debate has never been rescheduled as a result. >> did you miss any of the republican or democratic national conventions? now you can go back and watch every moment. good to c-span.org to find every speech from both conventions and watch on-demand whenever you want. here's how. at the top of the c-span.org homepage, click on either the democratic or republican convention when he was fine videos from each day of both conventions. you'll also find convention highlights near the top and scroll down and browse through every speaker. like on the speech you want to watch. and you can click any speech and share on social media or e-mail.

c-span.org is your most hopper has a guide for finding video of any convention moment. c-span, created by cable and offered as a public service by her television provider. -- your television provider. joining us is jim barnes, senior ballotpedia.alo 100 days until the general footion, give us a 30,000 view comparison between the republican convention and the democratic convention. guest: i think one of the more interesting aspects, in the city of brotherly love it really was one big embrace for the democrats. notwithstanding a little bit of the catharsis that the bernie said people were best the bernie sanders before going through initially. almost to be expected. a little heartache on the part

of some. gave a very full endorsement of hillary clinton and the clinton people were happy about that. he was the runner-up on the democratic side. on the republican side, ted cruz told his supporters to vote your conscience. he was almost jeered off the we did not see a real closeness from some republican officials. donald trump's name did not get the majorityot leader in the house. and there was a distancing. trump distancing himself and there was no reference to the

bushes. two living presidents. of course, the democrats fully embraced barack obama. to me that was one big difference. the party seemed more united from bernie delegates being upset verses in cleveland the republicans still seem to be trying to come together and republican elected officials are trying to figure out how we run with trump and what does this relationship really going to be like. host: 100 days until election day. we spent the first 45 minutes of program asking about the minimum wage. at the democratic convention trade was a huge issue with those no tpp signs. hillary clinton and 10 kane inrting off their campaign ohio. on minimum wage

saying in the next four weeks he's going to roll out policy stances on other issues. will the economy, trade and things like the minimum wage be center stage through the rest of the campaign? guest: that would be my excitation. normally the economy dominates that becomessues engaged in a presidential campaign. the media can focus on different issues at different times. certainly, donald trump has a capacity like no other presidential candidate we have seen disorder inject himself into the debate and drive the debate, drive the discussion between candidates. the economy ultimately will be front and center and the states you mentioned, ohio, pennsylvania, perhaps michigan, wisconsin, i think a lot of us

feel those are going to be battlegrounds in this election. host: jim barnes is senior ia.ter with ballotped you have covered every election since 1984. guest: this was my 17th and 18th national party convention. you've seen a lot. you tend to feel nothing can really surprise you but politics as a way of surprising us. i did not expect ted cruz to get jeered so much on wednesday night of their convention. host: what is your mission at ballotpedia? .uest: a nonprofit nonpartisan they view themselves as an encyclopedia of american politics. we got 240,000 euros it articles on electionslly

from the federal level down to the local level to school board. thousandt is the top school boards in the country in terms of their size. i think when you say mission the idea is we just sort of try to explain -- it is explanatory journalism in the sense. we try to layout issues for people to decide how they want to feel. we want to try to help decode american politics in a straightforward manner and people will make up their own minds. host: we welcome your phone calls for jim barnes. (202) 748-8000 for democrats. (202) 748-8001 for republicans. independence and all others. , how have therc parties changed?

guest: i think both parties are in flux. going back to 1992 with the election of bill clinton i think in 1984 the first presidential election i covered on the democratic side, walter mondale heir to new deal politics. that labor-based tradition inside the democratic party. to 1982 -- 1992, i think bill clinton moved the democratic party to the center, made it competitive and i think those by and large a consensus of the 2012. more business oriented centrist party that had been in the 1970's. i think this election marks a

shift. most people feel bernie sanders ran a successful campaign for not winning but in terms of where he started in with the expectations were. he has pulled the democratic party to the left. host: that is a permanent shift? guest: we don't know. let's see how the election plays out. if it is hillary clinton, see how she governs. consensus in the democratic party around bill clinton's ideas and his approach that began in the 1990's i think is fracturing a bit on the democratic side. side, we havecan had in in surge -- an insurgent outsider, donald trump win the republican election.

.emarkable donald trump is a free trade candidate it appears to me. this is really not in the tradition of the republican party. not in the tradition of folks on capitol hill who have given a seeof folks -- let's -- host: in terms of a permanent mitt romney, mean george w bush and george h.w. bush not only did not attend but reject the 2016 nomination? guest: that would be a good indicator. the fact that the trump nomination really was a strong

rebuke to the republican .stablishment the republican donor class that funded residential elections. appear we saw house speaker paul ryan grappled with endorsing donald trump. a couple of weeks where he was trying to find his way to an endorsement. christie,agine chris scott walker, even a ted cruz or jeb bush, that kind of soul-searching that ryan did, that would not have taken place. he would have endorsed very quickly. host: we will go to baldwinsville, massachusetts. thanks for waiting. go ahead with your comment. caller: i have to add one more thing to what i was going to say . donald trump is not against free trade, he is against us putting

out $1 billion of goods and taking in one trillion dollars worth of goods. we can't overload our country with stuff from other people's countries and not be able to make anything and export anything. the other thing i want to say is do you think if donald trump wins that it would be possible for him to legally prosecute loretta lynch and mr. comey for not doing their jobs? mrs. clinton broke law big-time. i was asked military. i would be enjoyed forever for cheated. -- for what she did. guest: there is no doubt mrs. clinton's handling's of e-mails from the time that she was at the state department is very controversial. the subject of an investigation by fbi director comey and his investigators. .he received a rebuke from that -- did not exactly receive there was not really a sanction

for her the way there would have been if she had been a current employee. as to whether donald trump could prosecute loretta lynch and fbi director comey i do not know. i'm no legal expert are not sure . we would need some evidence that awarded their investigation. if trump was elected i don't think it would serve him well to forighting an old battle 2016. he would be the new president. his primary goal would be to try to unify the country. agenda.o pass his he's got an ambitious agenda on something click trade, immigration. he be better served by focusing on the future rather than trying

to fight known battle from 2016. host: guy is on our democrat line. caller: in reference to your almanac, i wonder if you go back far enough, since the republican party, the inception, the robber barons and the wealthy and powerful controlled the federal government. working conditions for the .orking man were abysmal from themiddle-class 1930's up to the 1970's. that was controlled by the republicans. the democrats had control of the government and that is when our wages went up, working conditions became better, the working man had a little bit of dignity.

now,980's up until congress has been taken over by reagan democrats and republicans have controlled the house for 19 of the last 21 years. the influence of ronald reagan still in the republican party in particular. guest: rudy giuliani sort of reference them and said i was part of the reagan administration. district attorney i believe for the southern district of new york. which was surprising. i don't think -- it is not clear to me. i think ronald reagan is a real republicans. of i think with donald trump's

rise of theith the tea party it's not clear to me and he is the guiding light the true inspiration for congressn members of and a lot of rank and file republicans these days. he is still revered but i'm not sure from a policy perspective or an approach to governing he is the inspiration. host: let me ask about an analysis piece in the washington post. clinton and trump are taking divergent paths talking about .heir strategy they write, the real question has trumped outreach to blue-collar workers, democrats and the like giving us something we have not had before?

cole said. the post rights michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin have bedeviled republicans for decades. predicted that the pattern will continue. for every blue-collar democrat we lose in western pennsylvania we will pick up two or three moderate republicans in the suburbs of philadelphia. the voters who are most out there figuring out what to do are not the blue-collar democrats. they are the college educated republicans or independents who leaned republican in the suburbs . a clinton adviser described pennsylvania as a reach for trump and called michigan and wisconsin high reaches for him. what do you think about charles schumer's analysis of who they are going after? guest: i think it is a pretty good analysis. chuck schumer of new york is very astute and shrewd

politician. you may recall he made some news a couple of years ago when he gave a speech at the press club saying we should not have pushed health-care reform right away. that this was a mistake, thatced a backlash produced the republican gains in 2010. schumer is a smart guy and i think that is the trade-off. white working-class voters i think are probably a little more in line with donald trump is the republican nominee. the argument democrats used to make -- they are not going to vote republican because republicans want to cut benefits. want to cut social benefits. some of trump makes clear he does not want to cut social security.

easier.little them.e that may appeal to on the other hand you have .ollege educated whites it remains to be seen if donald trump can hold that part of the republican coalition. host: doylestown, pennsylvania we hear from nathan who is a republican caller. ok?er: can you hear he it is funny how you talk about the college educated whites. suburbs asut to the you say. they do not embrace diversity except for when you are in a choreographed big tent how they would direct the type of convention.

ec blacks and whites holding hands and crying together but they all come appear to live and white flight is still an empirical fact. his credence to the old adage that modern-day liberal education gives white people the right attitude that minorities and the means to live as far away from them as possible. host: does that leave you as a donald trump supporter? only because i want him to secure the southern border and because i'm working guy, not angry. work with plenty of hispanics in my life. more about diversity than her he does. unitedy talks about how democrats were. the first thing that happened the first day was debbie wasserman schultz stepped down hackersace because some found out hillary stole it from bernie.

outside of the convention there are thousands of angry .rotesters burning flags all of that stuff was covered up and choreographed very well because it used to be 50 years ago liberals were rebels against the establishment. today they are the establishment. host: we have not addressed that. the first day of the convention had -- guest: it was remarkable. there was booing of the invocation because the person delivering it mention hillary clinton's name and a never seen an invocation boot at a convention. a lot ofo doubt senator sanders supporters were very passionate, worked hard for his campaign. those delegates, those of the

true believers. those are the ones that are working hard for the campaign and are most intensely actually going to be a bit heartbroken over it. throughout the convention you ,ad delegates holding up signs kind of the international no go tpp., no ttp -- i don't mean to suggest the democrats are completely united and it will be a big question .or mrs. clinton she will need the vast majority of them in order to win the election. my point was more at the elected official level you saw much more harmony in philadelphia than you did in cleveland. host: jim barnes writes about that in his latest piece at

org.otpedia. wererepublican senators just a wall from the gop confab in cleveland. here is anthony in edison, new jersey on our independent line. sorry about that. caller: i want to say it is about time that the republican party finally had the lying out in front of it. after all the destruction this hillary and obama administration has done we will need somebody -- he to bring a change before there is a glimpse of hope. this whole administration should be put in guantanamo bay. barack obama is the worst president after jimmy carter. donald trump talks about make america great again he does not

say that the people are great. he says the people are great but the leadership is not great enough to make the people empowered enough to be greater. the democrats are experts been masters. hillary is the worst candidate i've ever seen in my life. she has done nothing. she is lying -- she has lined her own pockets. to say that bill clinton will be the first gentleman -- the world they just horn dog. donald trump will make things great again. .e will set things right america can be an exceptional nation again. it's going to take a lot of work. democrats are grasping at so many straws to even march a muslim man whose son died in the military fighting honorably, donald trump is against jihadist radical muslims. host: that is anthony in new jersey.

guest: i think one of the points that underline anthony's argument is a good one. donald trump is a change agent in this election. he is different. he is an outsider. he is an insurgent. he can be the change candidate. may not be change everyone wants . hillary clinton is the establishment candidate. a status quo candidate because she is really running to have a third democratic term in the white house. she has been in national politics or the national eye since 1992. that dynamic is going to be an interesting one to see how that plays out in the election between trump. can he claim the mantle of

change independent mrs. clinton as status quo? host: you can send us a tweet at c-span wj. a trump supporter says i do not have to agree 100% with what trump says. the -- theit is alternative is the end of the usa. trump spoke about the get evens, putting against kasich, crews and rubio. thin-skinned. was there next location the donald trump with change his tactics or approach in the general election? guest: i think so. i'm not sure that it serves donald trump well to get in feuds with ted cruz. his goal is to unify his party. the kind of look back to the convention and say, i did not need his endorsement anyway. pac to runl form a against him, does not serve him

well. host governor gave a primetime stage, speech in primetime on thursday night addressing the convention. the home state governor of pennsylvania. john kasich did not get into the quicken loans arena for the republican convention. the host state's governor of ohio. kind of a tale of two conventions. host: we hear from susan who is a democratic caller. caller: i would like to explain that i am a person without a handicap. a woman at the age where don't blood coming from issuance of my body. i'm not a pocahontas. i would like to tell you about

citizens united. the supreme court you want to allowedthey have citizens united to open the floodgates so that people like the coat others -- the bradley center in the walkie. oligarchies that now own our government. a big convention that the koch brothers and the like take in and fund candidates to come in and they sit down and tell them you do this voting for us. you don't do that. to call metaphor, he works for public government in crimea trying to push those people out.

is taking itone off the platform we can give them any military aid. him trying to tell putin to hack into government e-mails is criminal and i think our new chant should be lock him up. host: we'll talk more about that topic in a later segment. on the koch brothers, charles koch in particular, the associated press writes about him sitting on the sidelines the presidential race thing charles the weekendst of retreat in colorado springs did not mention trump by name. as he warned political leaders are giving frightening answers to america's challenges one of -- chief lieutenant was would not use true and its -- senior vice president of cook industries.

he noted none of the candidates che in line with the ko network from a policy and police perspective. guest: donald trump does not have the whole republican establishment, the whole republican infrastructure united behind him. the democrats have been more explicit about saying we want to overturn citizens united. i believe secretary clinton has going to appoint justices who will overturn citizens united. secretarye irony is -- former secretary clinton has received a lot more money from corporate interests -- from the corporate community, hedge funds, wall street world and the various independent democratic groups the donald trump has it is election. i know on ballotpedia we're

almost certain we have a big takeout on citizens united. talking about that legal case. dominates the campaign-finance discussion. host: does donald trump need fundraising for the general campaign? money.you always need the more the better if you're running for president trying to fund the campaign. i think that the question with trump, is he going to be a self funder? he already has kicked in a good amount of money into this race. i figure at least $50 million. -- republicans are doing a better job raising money. they are picking up a bit but it will be interesting to see if donald trump opens his checkbook even wider in the fall campaign. host: let's go back to calls in

pennsylvania. this is ruth on our democrat line. for taking myyou call. i have been watching c-span for a long time and their associate -- there is so much we don't know what is going on behind closed doors. we pick and choose what is important. the environment has always been important to me. without it we are done for. i need to be able to drink my water. -- the first information on trump, the u.k. was having a vote in parliament on banning trump from the country. i thought, that is pretty scary. one of our allies is taking a vote. they are afraid do vote him out and casey made it as president. why would we even consider a man that can't come together with allies at time like now in our country? guest: i think donald trump

himself has raised questions about how well -- and my going to defend all of the nato countries or see with their theribuon are before united states honors that security arrangement. host: she talked about the british vote last year. trump -- banning donald trump. we will hear next from simon who is in united kingdom. listening to us on the bbc parliament channel. either? -- are you there? them.k we may have lost cornelia and to cottonwood, idaho. on our republican line. caller: good morning.

there is so much i could say. i'm amazed at the misinformation the democrats are putting out about donald trump. i do not agree 100% either with donald trump. to put a woman in the white house that has accepted millions and millions of dollars from overseas governments that are .nethical the trump, any kind of corporate investment, people that may give to donald trump and that has been proven that hillary clinton is actually the one getting the big money. i would encourage everybody to watch, use good judgment, the open-minded and pray. it is very important. ist: how serious of an issue

the clinton foundation in terms of what hillary clinton -- the relationship with other donors?s, potential guest: it is a point republicans and conservatives press. the clinton foundation has received an awful lot of money from an awful lot of sources. may the bigger problem for mrs. clinton would be some of the .peeches that she's received a lot of the wall street firms that the bernie sanders people -- at one point there was some question of wood you

released transcripts of some of the speeches she gives. a question of whether donald trump will release his tax returns. host: what is the latest on that? thet: i think the latest is standard answer which is i am under an audit when i'm not under an audit i can release them. i don't think that gives us any guaranty. i think one thing the caller , we will have presidential debates. i don't believe there is anyway those will not come off. we will have presidential debates and the american public face-to-face. i think will give the public some insights into not only candidates themselves, their personalities but also there will be able to explain their positions directly to the country and i think there will be a tremendous benefit.

host: as of now there are three presidential debates and the vice presidential debate scheduled. the story this morning about how this ties into the nfl. the nfl reporting denying it sent trump a letter over the debate schedule. the story is that donald trump, who started to voice complaints about the presidential debate schedule said the national ball league sent out a letter protesting the dates that overlap with games but the nfl saturday said that is not true. "while we obviously wish the debate commission would find another night, we did not send a letter to mr. trump." i think we have our british viewer from bristol. thanks for calling back. caller: thank you for having me. basically about democrats and

republicans, neither of them abouto know much america's international obligations. -- the number one force in nato. for the moment, the number one military globally. economically, one of the weakest members of nato. for quite some time you have this increasing national debt. you have -- interest payments national partners remains low. or republicanst seem to want to talk about these

issues. instead they seem to be focused america suchssues a big power in the world it does make me question what is going on in the world especially when of eastern friends europe would despise russia. -- to protect against threats globally. states is so about what is going on within its own borders you have forgotten being number one in the world means you have to look at the world as the rightd elect people to deal with not just what is happening in the 50

states but the 216 countries of the world. one view from overseas -- host: take you for your call. one view from overseas. guest: elections traditionally focus on domestic issues. the number one is usually the economy. i would say in this election there is an awful lot of talk about isis and how we deal with global terrorism. either of the candidates aren't mooring that aspect of it. thursday night, the democrats rolled out general alan to talk about hillary clinton in her credentials. i think the relationship the united states has with nato will continue to be an evolving one. -- there areessful

questions about how integrated europe is going to be and we solved the brexit vote that britain is now pulling out of the european union. i think how that whole relationship internationally settles counterbalancing putin is going to be a complex one but it will be interesting to see how both of those candidates, how trump and mrs. clinton handle that issue. ost: jim barnes is with ballotpedia.org. the weekly what's on tap this week. going looking at state politics, local politics you even mention local school board. how do you keep track?

guest: a very dedicated staff of about 70 people who worked very hard. onis kind of keeping a focus what you can do and what you can do well. really focusing on the day-to-day news, what's in the headlines today. we focused on some of the things and tried to bring some intelligence and some enlightenment, discernment to these issues. ultimately, to paul neel has a great line all politics is local. there are people who will be interested in the school board election. host: if you had to thing of one race that is the most interesting across the country -- there are a lot of them from the school board to the senate what is the most interesting or quirky race you can think of? guest: it is always the presidential race.

i think you're asking me to step beyond the story in the headlines. i think we will have a tremendously interesting senate race in new hampshire. two women. maggie hassan running for senate. -- attractive in competence. capable politicians who happen to be women. how that race plays out will be fascinating. host: we go to wellsboro, pennsylvania. hall is on the republican line. paul, go ahead. .aller: a couple of comments a woman a minute ago said trump wanted the russians

to hack into our systems. the democrats never pay attention to what anybody says. he says if they had e-mails we would like to have them back. if we can work with the russians there is not a problem with that . the democrats never listen to what people are saying. they make it up as they go along. hillary is the worst out of the bunch. what has she really ton for the country? host: we hear from bob in auburn, maine. good morning. caller: good morning i'm sorry we lost people killed in benghazi, but we're overlooking another huge, huge issue here. i believe we have to concentrate on indicting all of the republicans in the senate

in the murders of hundreds of americans every month. people using weapons of war that should have been banned years ago. and the republicans just refuse to allow the country to take control of that issue. host: all right. jim barnes, go ahead. guest: i think it will be interesting to see to what extent gun control -- we've had some terrible shootings, certainly two terrible police shootings. we've got some, you know, we've got real violence in this untry, where civilians are killed. it'lling interesting to see where gun control s. certainly at the democratic convention, u saw a lot of emphasis on this issue n. past, the democrats haven't been able to make this a winning issue for them. let's see how this election

plays out. they're certainly trying to push sort of what they would say is a sensible gun control policy. host: this was the take in the "new york times," the morning after hillary clinton's acceptance speech, and their headline was, "clinton warns of a moment of reckoning, accepts historic nomination, promising to repair bonds of trust." democrats line is next. we square from jeffrey in indiana. go ahead. caller: good morning. where i come from, you tell the tree by its fruit. donald trump's fruit are lies, deception, and bankruptcy. what is it going to lead you to? he hasn't done anything -- he has a casino here t. didn't do anything about the city. and he lied about things he was going to do, and he did not. i'm pretty sure he profitted pretty well. host: do you think donald trump's record, track record as a businessman is having much traction with potential supporters, or is he turning

people away from voting for him? guest: that's a good question. i'm not sure. certainly democrats are trying to press this argument. there's been a lot of coverage of mr. trump's business practices. he's certainly had bankruptcies. he's certainly been criticized. i'm not sure, to be honest with you. i think i suspect that it could affect some swing voters. it's fair, just as hillary clinton's record as secretary of state, as senator from new york, is fair. really, donald trump's never held elected office, right? he's never cast ballots up there on capitol hill. he's never run a state. so how do we judge donald trump? he doesn't have kind of a public policy record. it's only natural that people want to focus on his business

career. host: let's hear from california, wanda on our democrats line. caller: good morning. thanks for taking my call. i am calling hopefully we can have peace in america. i know when you say peace, but however, i was a bernie supporter. i supported for bernie here in california. and i am now a full-fledged hillary supporter. hillary is the only candidate qualified at this time. we always bring up benghazi, as if, you know, i heard one woman say that democrats were uninformed and miseducated. i mean, that's a joke, considering donald trump. but before benghazi, george w. bush had 13 attacks on embassies and 60 deaths from

those embassies, but people never bring up any of that. emails, you go back and you think about colin powell, and i hope during this election colin powell and condoleezza rice comes out and discusses those emails. they always have these smoking guns. they always have these things that they brought up against hillary. that's so disingenuous. host: jim barnes, any thoughts? guest: well, it will be interesting to see how the email saga plays out. not k that it's probably going to be the front and center issue. but i think people have legitimate kind of concerns about why did mrs. clinton feel the need to have a private server? why didn't she turn all of her mails over right away? you know, not long after the fact.

with the possible russian hacking of the democratic national can he computers, you know, there's kind of this question of, well, you know, did she really take all the security precautions and was she a little bit maybe careless, ledge? actually, i think the f.b.i. director said, based on language, extremely careless or negligent. host: were you surprised by the chants of "lock her up" at the convention? guest: well, i remember 2008, and we had "drill, baby, drill," which was the chant among republican delegates with sarah pal in, the governor of alaska, who was a proponent of oil resources in her state. i wasn't really -- i wasn't surprised by that. you see that at a republican convention. you know, people are spirited. i do think, though, one thing that's interesting, we've heard

on the program this morning, we've heard one caller say that, well, gee, can donald trump prosecute loretta lynch and jim thome? we heard another democratic caller say, well, i think that all of those people up on capitol hill should be prosecuted because, you know, they're party to homicides because they don't sport strong gun control, i think that -- i hope that we can kind of step back from, gee, everybody should be indicted and prosecuted, and like i said, let's watch those debates. i think they're going to be fascinating. host: one more call. willis, texas, good morning to rob on the independent line. caller: hi. hello. trump needs -- ok, background, computer science, like lots of programming, all that.

but the big point, people miss trump's sarcasm. hillary's server, her people damaged it. it's in the middle of an f.b.i. forensics lab, and it's even hard for them to get anything off of it. it would have been say, like, if a couple of decades ago, trump had said, hey, mr. khrushchev, ted kennedy as got a really cheap car you can have for a dollar just if you get it out of the 20 feet of water before the police do or something. i mean, the same cannot be accessed. it was really ridiculous, everybody saying he's talking about treason or something, and hillary's people had damaged it. they destroyed federal data on it. he should point out that 30,000 emails, that's 98% of hers were about her and only two about the taxpayers, 400 emails on taxpayer time. host: all right, rob, the

comment of sarcasm he made to fox news, it was just a car sass particular comment. guest: yeah, i think one of the things is donald trump is a very unconventional presidential candidate. and he has a speaking style that is not the most precise all the time, and he's very fond of sort of throwing in one liners and jabs. that's part of his appeal to some voters. and i think sometimes it's a a le hard for voters, it's little hard for reporters to really be able to tell, well, when is he really serious here? you know, how is he trying to make this point with maybe humor and exaggeration? this is what you get when you have an unconventional candidate like trump. host: jim barnes with the ballotpedia.org, and you can follow their reporting, too,
