every person, every vehicle trying to get to the convention site is stopped and searched. >> if cleveland hosted a super bowl, you know, it would be a huge event, it would be a lot of barriers going up and officers walking around to make sure people were safe. i mean, it's the same thing. >> reporter: but the city has been transformed in streets now a fortress of security zones as terrorist attacks and shootings in the u.s. and abroad increase concern about potential threats. weapons are prohibited in and around the arena, although they are still allowed elsewhere in the city. >> this is for statement only. this is not a military-style weapon. it just looks like one. >> reporter: on sunday, prompted by the baton rouge shooting head of the police union access john kasich to suspend the state's open carry law. >> police officers are being ambushed and murdered. this event and the number uniformed police officers we have here, i'm gravely concerned about thsa

safety of everybody else. >> reporter: a spokeswoman for kasich said ohio governors do not have the power to arbitrarily suspend federal and tate constitutional rights state laws as suggested. the swarming police presence has, so far, helped keep demonstrations peaceful. one man was arrested on sunday, allegedly of trying to take away an officer's gas mask. cleveland mayor frank jackson says the recently killings of police officers has also forced adjustments into the city's security plans. >> some things are minor, just being more vigilant or the use of additional assets to address those kind of things. >> reporter: is that what happened in this situation? >> all of the above and probably some more. >> reporter: cleveland's municipal court is clearing jail space to process as many as a thousand people a day. that's more than any convention in recent memory. also, the city upped its liability insurance from $10 million to $50 million.

gayle? >> jeff, thank you. as this convention begins, our latest cbs news battleground tracker poll shows a tight race. donald trump trails hillary clinton by four points here in ohio. her advantage in nearby michigan is three points but that is within the margin of error. trump is one point ahead in iowa, another statistical tie and three national polls show clinton ahead by at least four points. major garrett is ahead of the preview of the four days to come. >> reporter: good morning, everybody. the first order of business at this convention for donald trump is dispatch the never trump movement once and for all. campaign manager paul manaforty told me trump to give too much credit but concedes it has been an unwelcomed distraction. the rest of this convention is about reshaping trump's image and softening rough edges. >> i think the convention is going to be terrific. but with that being said, i don't want to reinvent the wheel. i want it to be knowledge.

i want people to hear our views. to me that is much more important than entertainment. >> reporter: in their first joint interview, donald trump said indiana governor mike pens wi pence will begin to divide the party. >> he has helped bring the party together. >> reporter: outside cleveland's quicken loans arena, the festivities have already begun. for donald trump advocates. >> build that wall. >> reporter: and opponents. >> shut down trump. >> reporter: monday night will focus on security featuring politicians and speakers that include a duck dynasty call and 1980s tv heart throb. then the expected with the unexpected including virtual and personal appearances from trump's rivals and speeches from wife's trump and two soap opera

stars. noticeably ab sent is the following. and any member much gop's biggest living dynastieses, the bushes. paul manaforty insists the party is unifieunified. >> if they want to come, fine, but it's not important to english convention. >> reporter: this convention occurs at a somber and anxious time. people from louisiana are heart broken and decided to see this convention through. in unusual times this week will reflect not only trump's unconventional approach to politics but a new kind of convention for a party he is making before the nation's eyes. >> thanks, major. cbs news political director and "face the nation" moderator john dickerson with us and so is dna senor, a senior adviser for mitt romney's 2012 presidential

nominee and his presumptive running mate together on "60 minutes." what is your take on that? >> what did i take from that moment? mike pence was very eager to be on the team and the body language was interesting to watch. these men don't know each other very well so when mike pence testified to what a good man donald trump was it seemed less evidence of long time spending together in a cabin and getting to know each other intimately. the theme is donald trump is a good person and his family will attest to that and don't worry about him when he is in the oval office. he has a good heart. donald trump interrupted very quickly to say he has a good head too. >> they are using excruciating and awkward marriage. >> if look at mike

in congress and what he has stood for pro free trade and very progressive on immigration, very supportive of a culture of civility in our politics. he would speak out on things like trump's proposal to muslim ban. the two couldn't have more opposite polar views. when you see mike pence sitting next to trump. he is signing up to pence's world view, it's a little awkward to watch. >> i notice that after trump chose pence, you tweeted and said this was disorienting because you had talked to pence in which he talked about his dislike of many things that trump espouse to. >> i've been a huge fan of mike pence over the previous years and encouraged him to seek higher office. i spoke to him during the primaries and let's say he had deep concept activiskepticism. >> do they share the

on social issues? >> no. mike pence has been one of the leaders on issues related to anti-gay rights and life issues. these are not -- this is not the area in which donald trump has been immersing himself over the years. they are a look at odds with the -- >> they have different styles but their vision is the same? do you think that is true, john? >> both the same in the sense they want to both win the election. that's the end of it. >> more agenda? >> well, john, what new voters does pence get trump? >> i think he gets some republican voters who were nervous. in talking to delegates and party folks who are here, they were very nervous coming in and what the pence pick shows is not just that donald trump has somebody around him and who might be able to help him understand some of the traditional republican views but also it sends a signal to them

when they say, hey, you need to do things that are more a part of the compulsory acting of running for president. you can't run-and-gun all the time. i think he shores up the party what he does going outward outside the party? that remains -- >> i would say this is -- this signals i think a major problem for the trump campaign. you see a lot in the vp pick a nominee in the higher command are worried about. what they are worried is unifying the republican party. here at the convention they are fighting in the primary. mike pence is a pick to calm republicans down. >> and it will do that? >> trump has about 75% of the polls and republicans supporting him and they need that number 90 percent and i'm not sure mike pence will do that. >> cbs news will have special coverage from the convention tonight at 10:00, 9:00 central. you can find continuous coverage allay

go away. >> different party unity do you think that is working so far? >> certainly a lot of conservatives who are very happy about the pick and to some degree this is what happens any time presidential candidate picks a nominee. there are always going to be at least a few issues that they disagree on, whoever hillary clinton picks, they have to explain some of the issues they disagree on. she disagrees with elizabeth warren and tom vilsack and tim kaine on different things. you have to say how are you two aligned on pretty fundamental issues you disagree. >> can you tell me who his second choice was for trump? >> newt. >> it was newt? >> yes and then christie right behind. those were always the final three. >> the reports this morning that chris christie was livid that he hasn't chosen. >> livid was the word? >> bummed out a couple of days ago? fair enough. yeah. >> he put himself out there pretty early on for donald trump. >> let's talkut

understand these times and led e the country in a different direction. if it fails to do this, the convention is a net negative. >> what does it tell you about the tone and image that the trump campaign wants to project, nancy? >> strength. strength i'm going to be tough. hillary clinton is weak. that is what you hear from donald trump over and over again. i think the challenge of this convention will be to put a little bit of meat on the bone. nobody expects his speech to be -- >> live at the convention center and testing the microphone while you're speaking. >> exactly. nobody expects this is a long policy prescription he gives on thursday night but he does have to show that he can go beyond the slogans and he can go beyond i'm going to be tough and i'm going to keep you safe. >> his point about he is aware of answer can speak to the fact that become a very turbulent world domestically and foreign. >> right. and that anxiety and strength are complimentary but you have to say something more than that. you have for give a larger,
