but in a real crisis, it collapses like a house of cards. >> president bill clinton speaking for lesses in a prerecorded talk from his home in chappaqua, new york. in a rather bold story that notes rather directly that clinton's own party has left him behind, adam nagourney and peter baker write this in "the new york times," and we quote. this will be the first democratic convention since the 1980s where mr. clinton will be little more than a bystander. it's a lot to think about and talk about and back with us the sometimes ragin' but always entertaining cajun james carville. he's a democratic strategist who rose to national fame with the clinton presidential campaign. these days co-host of the 2020 politics war room podcast. that line always gets to gene robinson. also eugene robinson, pulitzer prize-winning columnist for "the washington post" is back with us. gentlemen, welcome to you both. james, i'm going to start with you because you were top of mind tonight. i know the clintons brung you to the national political dance. are you at peace with what is emerging as the fact that thi

demeaning works great if you are trying to entertain and inflame, in a crisis, it collapses like a house of cardshen this president goes overseas, it's not a good will mission, it's a blooper reel, he breaks up with our allies and writes love letters to dictators. america deserves a president who is looked up to not laughed at. >> and the democrats also hammered home their message that joe biden can work with republicans to get things done. they played an emotional video highlighting his friendship with the late senator john mccain. >> but in the 1970s, joe was assigned a military aid for a trip overseas. >> i was the navy senate liaison and used to carry your bags on overseas trips. >> the son of a gun never carried my bags. he was supposed to carry my bags, damn it, but he never carried my bags. >> cnn senior political analyst mark preston joins me from washington, d.c., good to see you. >> good morning, good morning, rosemary. >> so joe biden accepted the democratic national nomination. no surprise, and they spoke of broken family to a broken nation that can be fixed with love, understanding a

distracting works if you try to entertain or inflame but in a real crisis it collapses like a house of cards. >> when this president goes overseas it's not a goodwill mission it's a blooper real. he writes love letters to dictators. america deserves a president who is looked up to, not laughed at. >> from the moment president trump took office, he's used his position to benefit himself rather than our country. he's trampled the rule of law, trying to weaponize our justice department to attack his enemies and protect his friend. he treats our country like it's his family business. this time bankrupting our nation's moral authority at home and abroad. >>> and biden now has another key republican ally. former u.s. secretary of state colin powell. >> joe biden will be a president we'll all be proud to salute. with joe biden in the white house you'll never doubt that he will stand with our friends and stand up to our adversaries, never the other way around. he'll trust our diplomats and intelligence community not the flattery of dictators and despots. he'll make it his job know when anyone dares
