david brooks, have their made their case? >> theyth represented an emotion that people can identify with. some voters, 57% of them believl that life has gotten worse for them over last 50 years. the way you saw here. a lot of speeches about as impassed as i've seen him, in part because the moment has found the man. the moment of anger and aggression which he representsio in pure form just now is now suddenly in vogue in the way it really wasn't before and eight years ago when he ran for president. >> the question whether or notio donald trump can actually capture this moment. this is definitely the angriest most frustrating sounding speech i've heard rudy guiliani give. that is saying a lot, i've heard a lot of rudy guiliani's speeches. he is the law and order mayor, right? donald trump is running the law and order candidate, the law and order party after what we've seen in the country the last couple of weeks in particular. we saw the county sheriff from milwaukee say that blue lives matter which got huge standing ovation he

that's syndicated columnist mark shields and "new york times" columnist david brooks.poet of you after four interesting days in cleveland together. >> you can't get enough. >> woodruff: you're right. everybody's speculating about hillary clinton's choice for vice president. we got word a few minutes ago that maybe she will tweet about it in the next few minutes. we're keeping an eye on that. meantime, what should we be -- what do we know at this point about what she's thinking? do you have insights you want to share with us? >> i do. i have, in my pocket. now, hillary clinton emphasized she is afflicted with or possessed of the responsibility gene, and that is it takes serious responsibility of her appointments and the people around her, and that's probably the strongest argument that can be made for tim kaine, the senator from virginia who tried to talk with hillary. but i have no inside information. bill clinton went off the reservation as he has more than once by recommending tim kaine which may put him in jeopardy because looks like if she does pick him she somehow

from npr, amy walter from the "cook political report," mark shields, beloved mark shields and david brooks from the "new york times." let me just say we just heard what peter king said optimistically about being able to get new yorker. we've heard californians say the same thing about donald trump. what's the consensus? >> probably not. at least in new york, upstate new york fits into the trump theory of the rust belt and midwest and that that is the pathf he has one to go to the white house. white collar, blue collar key flip the blue states red. that's their theory. >> not that he wouldn't dearly love to win his home state. >> of course. but the idea is to do that, you can't -- aren't enough blue collar white men to do that. you have to get -- if you're going to get 70% of the white

i could see them as a partner if, in fact, she does win in november. >> so, david brooks, how does timne change anything in this very explosive contest between hillary clinton and donald trump? >> yeah, i think he might be a key to some sort of actual electoral majority, or at least a step in that direction. listen, since we last met, we've seen some of the polls out of the republican convention. the polls are obviously volatile at this time of the year, but nonetheless there was a bump and a significant bump. so it should send a little source of concern, not panic in democratic ranks, p but definitely concern because there was a much bigger bang than i certainly exiblghtd. >> ifill: there was a poll that said there was a bounce -- >> a couple are showing some sort of bounce. anyway, something seems to be working, and the one thing i think the place this election will be settled is in suburban service worker office parks. people who are part of the global economy. people who are not upset by necessarily trade or immigration or things like that. if your party comes out and looking like

so let's talk a little bit about what you heard david brooks. mike pence and donald trump? >> he calms things down. he's a very conventional conservative, very pretty orthodox conservative, somebody who's been involved in republican circles forever, sweet disposition, and takes the things donald trump says and makes them seem normal. when you to have the things the trump campaign has to do is make him seem like a normal candidate. pence is good at that. >> woodruff: amy? he h's incredibly on message. this is the one person you don't have to worry about freelancing. what we've seen at this convention and from some of the other candidates in the race for vice president like newt gingrich, they're going to go off on their own rif and tangent. mike pence is going to do what the trump campaign needs him to do, period, exclamation point. the other thing the pence campaign does besides soothe trump, is you can send mike pence to any one of the battleground states where the senate majority is on the line and candidates will want to stand with him, even the candidates who won't show

he really would have breferred, david brooks -- preferred, david brooks, this to be the week he wouldinated for president. did he know that wouldn't happen? >> probably. he's not a guy who evolves too much. the core corey cory booker spee, democrats have a tendency to identify every problem as economic. but the nation is in a crisis. cory booker had a rift on how tolerance is not enough. tolerance means you and i can live in society but i don't have to care about you at all. and he contrasted it with love and need, that i need you to be part of my life. that is actually a democratic vision of community and it's not just economic. i don't think that we're facing an economic crisis. our g.d.p. doesn't explain the anger out there now. >> ifill: did you hear anything that compares to the discussion about tolerance and love and support at the convention we attended last week? >> i'm not sure i heard that. donald trump understands some version of national identity about community cohenges that is basically the essence of his message and the anti-immigration. >> for bernie sanders, this is t

that doesn't get big applause david brooks, why is that? >> people are not exactly happy with congress whether republicans or democrats. second congress for what? the people up here who are speaking are inhibited because they can't really lay out a projected vision for future because a lot of them disagree with a lot of donald trump's vision for the future. so clinton's what they've got. >> woodruff: house speaker paul ryan,. >> let me thank all the people of the beautiful city for looking after us this week. (applause) >> and above all, above all, i want to thank the men and women who are here from loarmts, for your service! (cheering and applause) >> you know -- from law enforcement for your service. you know standing up here again, it all has kind of a familiar feel. students of tri trivia will recl that last time around i was your nominee for president. it was a great honor, even though things didn't work out quite according to the plan. lea i'm a positive guy. i found some other things to keep me busy. i like to look at this way. the n

david brooks? beat look at this almost as theater because of how they are performing but it's true theater and there are true things that had happening as they discuss it and this has been a super effective night. this has just been one very strong moment after another, making a real case. and the final thing to be said, if you were a martian and came down and looked at these two conventions and somebody asked you, which of the two parties is the most patriotic, you would say the droik party. which is the most culturally conservative, you would say the drook party. the trump thing has swirled this summer and the democrats are responding by seizing the ground that he has abandoned for the republican party, and that's part of what we're seeing, especially where we were at last night and today. >> amy? >> i just thought really this is going to define so much of this convention. because it hit at every single one of the points that the clinton campaign is trying to make. one, of course, about the musli

david brooks, i just want to get your reaction. let's start with the khizr khan. >> i've been on this program a lot and felt disturbed by what donald trump said but i haven't felt as that about mrs. khan. i felt and a lot of people will feel, i think it stems from lack of empathy, lack of respect, lack of basic decency and i wonder what the moral pig me is doing and when i see paul manafort on the program issuing regret, it didn't strike me as an emotion but just a word. >> alex? i got to get you to respond to this. >> sure, i'm not sure i'm worthy families made for their country. god blessed them and they deserve our respect and sorrow and appreciation. i think there is an issue that is worth talking about here, and that is when you look at angela merkel in germany, she's about to get thrown out of office because of unfiltered immigration from a part of the world identity and security is compromised and donald trump has a legitimate point to make we should do something about that and that's t election. the status quo more of what'

ballot. >> ifill: matthew dowd is joining us along with mark shields and david shield shields -- david brooks. thank you for joining us. i wonder if anything matthew dowd just said rings a bell with you, david? >> i'm reminded of a convention you were involved with where we had compassionate conservative and democracy promotion abroad and free trade. what happened? >> the party isn't the same party. george w. bush said the other day, he had a fear he was going to be the last republican presidential elected. i think what he meant was not that there wouldn't ever be a republican elected but the republican he understood in the course of this. i think we're faced -- we have this convention and we're going to finish it out, and i think the success of this convention is totally determinative by thursday night. i remember tracking the democratic convention and tracking polls going democratic convention in 2000, nothing else changed in the polls on monday, tuesday or wednesday night. al gore gave a speech. the polls moved eight points within 48 hours. >> woodruff: good point. >> he still has a chance

that's syndicated columnist mark shields and "new york times" columnist david brooks.gentlemen, looking back on those highlights from both cleveland and philadelphia, what does it make you think, mark? >> it makes me think that the democrats -- this is my 24t 24th convention, and i think this was as good a democratic convention as i have seen since the 1976 convention which nominated jimmy carter which he left with a 30-point lead over president ford. i just thought it was a spectacularly successful convention. i don't think hillary clinton's speech was spectacular, but i don't think she's a spectacular speaker. i thought their messages worked and certainly the national security and preempting both faith and country and patriotism from the republicans which had been the republican symbols for so long was effective. >> woo davdruff:? the democrats had the better convention by a long way. it's rarely you see a gap so big, frankly. they controlled the debate. donald trump tried to set up a globalist vs. nationalist debate and the republicans were going to be the nationali

>> hmmmm. >> david brooks? >> we know what happened then.hing, this woman has been around forever she is the status quo, i think that was the theme mat particular stress. he's so personal, the use of the word "you" in a bill clinton speech, he's just talking to you and it's unveiling and in a personal way he communicates. his use of his hands have always struck me as amazing as a rhetorical gesture, the marriage is another main theme, it's one that a lot of us have trouble understanding and he seemed that it was a normal, american marriage, and two things merging together? >> we are going to the stage, meryl streep needs no introduction. one big celebrity moment to another! >> we got some fight left in us, don't we? what does it take to be the first female anything? it takes grit, and it takes grace. debra sampson was the first woman to take a bullet for our country. she served disguised as a man in george washington's continental army. and she fought to defend a document that didn't fully defend her. all men are created equal, it read. no m

david brooks, this is a lingering worry, i think. that's in the minds of conservatives. when he's president he may not do what he is going to do. >> he has new york values. one thing that strikes me, this issue bring it's up. if this feels we're in the primary season. spent the time with ted cruz and marco rubio.o we're in the general election season. that's whatio the convention is. when you're in the general election season you have to make the people in the m room uncomfortable. you're talking to people outside of the room there. is precious little that had. maybe this speech is the first generalir election moment of the campaign. it's quite late. >> ifill: susan davis is down on the floor with a utah delegate. they're talking about how we're not in the primary season. this delegate hasn't apparently made up his mind, susan. >> i'm with matt, a utah delegate. he was a ted cruz supporter. are you ready to support donald trump? >>rt we're finding a lot -- sloy headd that way.d the issues that are really r important to us are the supreme court, fiscal responsibility, tho

david brooks. i just want to get your reaction. let's start with the khizr khan. >> you know i've been on this program a lot and have been frequently disturbed by what donald trump said. but never felt as nauseated as when i read his comments. i think it stems from lack of empathy. lack of respect. and lack of basic dnc. and a moral pygmy on the ticket for president. >> alex? >> the -- i'm not sure i'm even worthy of talking about the sacrifices this family made for a their country. god bless them and they deserve our respect and sorrow and appreciation. i think there is an issue that is worth talking about here. and that is when you look at angela merkel in germany she's about to get thrown out of office because of a part of the world where unfiltered immigration and security has been compromised and trump making a point that we should do something about it. basically letting things happen unfiltered or doing something about it. i think there are perhaps clearer ways to make the point. >> i listen to the words coming out of your m

and david brooks this morning, richard, you pointed out david brooks great column.ment and he said that donald trump is his attack of hillary clinton and trade deals actually hits her where she's weakest. >> people, you know, we can debate how much donald trump is a, "flawed messenger." but the message is on to something. that the old debate about the size of government, the role of government and the economy is yesterday's debate. the new debate is to question how open the united states and other countries stay to the world. whether it's open to people in terms of immigration or open to the flow of goods and services, which is the trade debate and where trump is on to something. i think it's very similar to the brexit vote. what animated that. you have people in mature economies essentially pushing back saying this openness to people and to goods and services is working against our interest. >> his temperament was fantastic right there. until he looked up in the sky and talked about a mexican plane delivering a very tough flawed message, in my opinion, but a very c
