ivanka really spoke to me.hought she was poised, i thought she was intelligent, i thought she was warm. she gave a message that was open and honest when she said, you knows as a millennial, i don't always vote republican or democrat, i thought how refreshing. she's been honest. she spoke about young women and their struggles to have children and still rise in their careers. her father has been very supportive of her and other women in business. so for me as a millennial woman, she spoke to me p. she was the star of the night. and i just think that they need to bring the kids back more often. they are the star of the show. >> definitely a family theme throughout. and even this evening when you take a look at donald trump's speech or listen to it again, he really presented himself as the overseer of a family, that being the united states of america and bringing different groups together. you mentioned something about the jobs and the economy. and he spoke specifically to laborers and that would tie in with some o

iv ivanka, talk about all eyes on her tonight teeing up her father. thank you all so much. q this evening. by the way, new interview with trump is definitely sparking some backlash today after he says it is not possible that the u.s. may not actually go and defend its nato allies. we have much more on that explosive interview he did with the "new york times" in the thick of his convention. we'll talk about that. >>> also ahead, don jr. definitely never one to hold back. he reacts to ted cruz, talks about the relationship with ivanka and his siblings, especially over this past crazy year. >>> and, we're now in that window for hillary clinton to announce her running plate. and we are now hearing that list has expand by one. hear whose name is rising. you're watching cnn special. clean food. words panera lives by. no artificial flavors, preservatives, sweeteners. no colors from artificial sources. 100% of our food will be clean by year's end. that's food as it should be. ♪ good luck with the meeting today. thank you. as our business is growing, and you're on the road all day l

ivanka. ivanka did great, right? but i asked ivanka, i said do you like chelsea. i do, dad. really?ly do. i wish you didn't, it would be a lot easier. >> last night chelsea clinton introduced her mother at the democratic convention. a week earlier, ivanka trump of course did the same for her dad at the republican convention. born just two years apart, the two are indeed friends even though their parents are battling it out for the white house. tom foreman reports. >> lying crooked hillary. she is a liar. >> donald trump talks about make america great again. he doesn't make a thing in america except bankruptcies. >> amid the campaign's fury an unlikely alliance. ivanka trump and chelsea clinton, fierce political foes, steadfast personal friends. chelsea says it's so. >> our friendship had nothing, has nothing to do with politics. we were friends before this election, we will be friends after this election. >> and ivanka does, too, telling "people" magazine we are both incredibly supportive of our parents as we should be but we also continue to have great respect for one another. a do

[ cheers and applause ] like many of my fellow millennials, i don't consider myself republican or democrat. more than party affiliation, i vote for what i feel is right for my family and my country. sometimes that choice is tough. not this time. as the proud daughter of your nominee, i'm here to tell you, this is the moment, and donald trump is the person to make america great again. [ cheers and applause ] real change, the kind we have not seen in decades, is only going to come from outside the system. and it's only going to come from a man who has spent his entire life doing what others said could not be done. my father is a fighter. when the primaries got tough, and t

ivanka trump is in very important position.nfair to women or he is harsh or whatever, she has such a charm about her. she is amazing person. all of his children are incredible. one of the things that gave me a sense of comfort about donald trump being the nominee was being around his family, not on stage but backstage. anybody can go out there, meghan, we've seen politician families. dot happy wave and never speak to each other. this is a family really bondedded. this is really wonderful family. i think we're going to see that tonight. harris: monica, one. people we heard from aside from ivanka, one of the executives that runs the trump foundation. she was fiery, and talked about diversity and her experiences as person of color inside of trump organization. i'm curious with ivanka tonight though, what do you think people need to hear about women with regard to donald trump? what sells it? >> i think ivanka trump who is absolutely dynamite, i think she is not so secret weapon actually. will accomplish three things, harris. she h

ivanka trump had a goal in mind. when she went out there.xtremely, extremely poorly with women. that's not the case with hillary clinton and chelsea clinton. i think chelsea can just go out and simply tell people who hillary is as a mother and grandmother. i think they'll be just fine and at the end of the day will both have hit home runs. >> a lot of people were talking about that moment last night when president obama finished speaking and the surprise of the night, when hillary clinton actually walked out. you're smiling right now. when you saw that picture, she was beaming. she was -- >> that hug. >> -- so excited. >> that hug that they gave. when they embraced, it was like she took a sigh. when you compare that to the chemistry we did or didn't see between mike pence and donald trump. what you may not know about hillary clinton and in '08 i remember how visceral sometimes the disagreements could be between the two camps. but they generally have a respect and admiration for each other around dare i say a love for each other. i think this
