they share that. >> david is a lifelong democrat and political strategist. >> there are a lot of democrats in this part of the world i know of that will vote for an economic popullist before voting for hillary clinton. >> there is still apprehension in the clinton camp. >> if it is two candidates neither one i support, i will be writing in a third candidate or not vote at all. >> meanwhile, hillary has to worry if she drifts too far left, she may turn off centrisf voters. >> the movement represented by bernie sanders left a major foot print on the democratic party. >> watching that is how bernie sanders is affecting politics in total for america and not just democrats. >> when they write the history, they will write about bernie sanders and donald trump. both leading movementes from the grassroots up and no one saw a year and half ago, and they are here and they are alive and they are still driving the politics beyond the candidate himself. bernie is out of the race, but the voters are here and powerful. >> the idea of a movement why can't she get a movement. >> she doesn't look authentic

it's not the same democrats today. >> if you were to say the ordinary american, did you know democraticsegregation, of jim crow, every segregation law was passed by the democratic lepght rayture and it was the party of the klu klux klan and lynching. john: those people are dead. >> yes. even the civil rights movement which supplies the moral capital for what democrats believe. more republicans proportion nally voted for the civil rights accountant fair housing bill. the past matters because the paste drawn upon to claim moral capital for the present. that's why the democrats get to say we are the party of the little man and we fought for blacts. the main opposition to civil rights came from the democratic party. john: i'll bet democrats are mostly movie critics. do you ever use the website rotten tomatoes to rate a movie in 83% is this week's score for "star trek." more reliable is the audience store whether viewers like the. here they are for the secret life of pets. look at the reviews for "hillary's america. now look at the audience score. 81%. thousands of viewers voted and said thi

there democratic side, are democrats have reservations about hillary clinton, and we saw her struggle in the primaries to overcome a bernie sanders. at the convention, we will see a andp focus on donald trump on the weaknesses of the republican party and its policy. among democrats, we see a negative view of trump, so among , thereers of each party are many individuals less than enthusiastic about the party nominee but who will vote for the nominee because they dislike the other side and the other party nominee. host: our guest, alan abramowitz from emory university, joining us to talk about how voters spoke in campaign 2016. republicans, (202)-748-8001. democrats, (202)-748-8000. .ndependents, (202)-748-8002 our first call from texas, comanche, texas, republican line. you are on with our guest read go-ahead. caller: i would just like to make a comment. -- good morning. it is pretty much the same on both sides. not wantlicans do hillary, which is a good thing, and some of them do not want mr. trump, which i do not really understand, except the fact that he has never really been a and

>> never voted nothing but democrat. i'm voting trump this year. >> it's a huge abc for anybody but clinton. >> fox news reporting. clinton's left turn: a political insider's special." and now, harris faulkner. >> we have just witnessed the republican national convention and some anticipated a fight before achieving at least a semblance of unity. hillary clinton heading into her party's convention will probably not face the same sort of outward opposition. on the surface, at least, the democratic party unified behind her but for all the smooth sailing expected to come over the next few days, there are still discordant notes in the air which she ignores at her peril and signals persistent problems with her can day is. in the early 1990s, it felt to some democrats that the party moved too far to the left and needed to change. >> 1992, we had a new agenda. it was a different agenda. it was equivalent of a third party in some ways. >> al, founder of the democratic leadership council, rockiesed the party would have to change

implemented by a democratic controlled senate by a democratic house

party from being the 50 state strategy democratic party of the early 2000s to the democratic party thatcused on fundraising that brought in lobbyists, and that is not working because we have lost more seats than ever for this decision. >> tom harris is great, he hilts all the marks. >> he's way left of hillary clinton. >> and if you got him, it would push her left. and then the middle moves and then it's harder to win. isn't that the reasoning behind it? >> i think that's the old -- >> but that's their logic, isn't it? >> that's their old logic, the country is more populist right now, and tom harris could keep that base that the democratic party inspired, the 46% that voted for better thrnie sanders those who are towing the party line of hillary clirp. and tom harris is latino, he understands later, he's part of the administration, he's also in favor of tpp but coming at it from a different perspective. that's part of what she needs right now. >> are you all going to raise a ruckus up do something? >> i can't speak for the rest of the delegation, but i think the concern right now. >> ar

because the democrats, when i'm seeing -- i was a democrat. and i'm just appalled that they are so gullible to what hillary clinton is doing. and what she's going to do to this country. what people don't realize is that these muslims -- i'm not against muslims, i'm not against mexicans. but we've got muslims infiltrating into our country that are all about control. their whole objective is control. and hillary's big buddies with these people. and there are people who are coming in that are muslim that are converting to christianity, which are country is supposed to be based on. which i'm ashamed of what is going on in our country. we can't even as christians -- we are dogs and monsters. these people, they are putting them up on pedestals. they are cutting people's heads off. i don't understand it. i really don't. i know muslims personally. i know them. they say that obama is weak. they laugh at the leaders in our country. and i believe the donald trump is going to do something about this. i wash these conventions, i watch these people in the d

density equals democrats, another democratic adage. in that sense republicans have done well down ballot. even after this election they will probably hold majority of governorships, picked up 900 legislative seats since obama took office. there certainly is something else going on and i think it's related to changing demography but also the fact these are more localized elections. >> also the changing dynamics of the parties and reorienting of their coalitions? because i remember 2006 when democrats won a midterm. what do you think? >> yeah, i think certainly the coalitions are different. the coalitions republicans have turn out in these off year elections, bigger drop-off among democratic constituencies. i think two other things are important here. one is the republicans have done a great job focusing on house and state legislative races. i think to some extent it's a product of the fact some of these other changes are not good for them so they want to maximize their impact on governance by mopping up in these off year elections and i

senate democrats have advantages the democrats in the house don't have. some of the demographic shifts that are helping hillary clinton and senate democrats are in places like florida where you puerto ricans moving from the islands to the mainland, particularly the orlando area. those new voters who are automatically eligible by virtue of their citizenship are helping hillary clinton win florida. they are potentially helping democrats in that senate race potentially beat marco rubio. that's a house district they already hold. >> florida is seeing an increase by collision with puerto rican voters and that was stephanie murphy jumped into the race against mr. mica. it is the least, if the statistics we should see a bump because of that shift. >> let's talk about the other side of the demographic going to congressman crowley, you are from a new digester, the bronx and queens. the first but also guys who sat in look like you. do you read a lot of these white working-class trump voters we keep hearing about? not saying you are a trump voters spewed water you t

most democrats are againstst it. and when i say mosost, i mean ns many as 85% of house democrats oppose tpp. the rank and file democrats across the nation are against it. and the only person who i can find who is really, really for it is maybybe 13 house members,a handndful of senators, and the president of the united states barack obama. it is the democratic position that we're against tpp. the minority, though, contntains some really powerful people, is in favor of it. so the platform should reflect of the overwhelming number of democrats which is anti-tpp. , amy: and congress member keith ellison, the issue of single-payer healthcare. the idea of medicare for all. the party shying away from bernie sanders' proposal to turn medicare into a single-payer healthcare system for this country. what happened? >> well, yeah. as you said, you know, that proposal, which is very meritorious and which i support, was not embraced. that's too bad. but let me tell you. you know, i guess, amy, i'm an optimistic person. right? when

everybody knew that debbie wasserman-schultz and most of the main line democrats, mainstream democrats those at democratic national committee would be for hillary. why wouldn't they be. hillary is a democrat. bernie sanders is not. not only that there is the fact that bernie sanders's views are exotic in the use of many, including many democrats. if you think about this, one. jobs of a political party is to nominate and elect candidates martha: that is a good point. >> obviously they want somebody who can be elected. there is a widespread sense among democrats d others that bernie sanders couldn't possibly be elected even if he were to get the nomination. so they favor hillary. it isn't attractive they would try to use his religion against him which never happened. there we are. i have to say i have a little bit of sympathy for debbie wasserman-schultz who appears to have done exactly what the clinton camp and party wanted. martha: it fuels the fire of bernie sanders supporters who wanted him to be the democratic nominee. >> it is also the case, martha, democratic party needs bernie sa
