very few republicans are speaking out about it as senator flake just reaction in '16 both around jeb bush and hillary clinton that americans were wary of dynastic american political families. did the trump family miss those stories, or did they just decide that their family were only people they could count on to show up this week? >> i think the trump family feels like that trend, that historical trend in our country of being against monarchies may not apply to them. because this week at the republican national convention is entirely the trump show. this is a party presenting itself completely in donald j. trump's image. he is going to be participating each night in the prime-time programming. his family members are going to be speaking. the political speakers who are going to be speaking are those who are the most enthusiastic trump supporters. people like senator tim scott, who has defended and advocated for this president repeatedly. senator joni ernst of iowa. congresswoman elise stefanick, one of his fiercest defenders in the impeachment proceedings late last year. this is the trump

globe" and michael steele, former press secretary for john boehner and former senior advisor to jeb bush. michael, let me start with you because we ended on that clip of the republican president essentially questioning mail-in balloting and the tweet from him suggesting that the election be delayed. one of the few instances that i can recall where there was broad and quick widespread condemnation among republicans of that idea. what was the reaction behind the scenes among republicans who are fighting to re-elect other senators and members of the house and not just the president of the united states? >> look, one the broad picture which is important. two, i was proud and happy to see how quickly across the board republican officials said no way, not going to happen. third, this is not the sign of a confident president. this is not the sign of a man fighting to win the re-election. this is a sign of a man who is fighting to make it close enough to claim he was cheated and escape the judgment of history if he loses badly to the former vice president. >> to that point, kimberly atkins, i wa

i think you covered tim miller's career, he worked for jeb bush and is now running one of the most effectiveoriented campaigns for joe biden and against donald trump. and he writes this -- he says, quote, the rnc taken what the party's worst critics had to say about them and decided to wear it as a patch of pride, the orange man badge, of political platforms, we're trumpists we believe in nothing, love it or leave it. could you think there's any shame to feel about that. bu rr is dealing with his own dell challenges, but anyone left not okay with that? portman is obviously fine to let this become his legacy. is there anyone in the mold of paul ryan, i remember all the careful reporting if your book about his policy-heartbreaking. as trump came in and was obviously ignorant and indifferent to all those conservative principles that paul ryan adhere to but are there any paul ryans left? anyone who cares? >> you know, nicole, i'll say this, it's not an accident that paul ryan retired after 2018 as i reported about at the time and wrote about in the book, he talked to people around him plainly an

and national i'm start to rise, the rise of "breitbart" and other outlets and the belief that the jeb bushes world could bring together a coalition to keep power. but there was an acceptance building in 2014, that the base was in control as much as they wanted to deny it. so when donald trump effectively took control in 2015 of the party they were in a position to accept that reality. and five years later here we are, the culmination of that process, the republicans accepting their reality. they don't know how to control or guide their party so they're going along, those who remain, with president trump. >> they're going along for the ride. very few, though, are actually going to speak at the convention who are in tight senate races. i think joanie ernst may be one of the only ones. let's look at the polls, there's a poll that was out and not really notable, it's still a 10-point lead for joe biden. and, of course, the national polls are national polls. so certainly the old republican me would remind everybody that a rising tide lifts all boats. so biden being up by ten actually means he's p

we're not going to engage, as jeb bush would say, in the soft bigotry of low expectations. we're going to treat kamala harris, a black woman, just like we're going to treat mike pence, a white man, just like we're going fog treat anybody white. and when she screws up, we're going to call her out, not because she's a black woman, but because she's running for vice president of the united states. and can you speak to that, reverend al? first of all, i've got to say, yesterday was a landmark day. you had a black national candidate and i didn't hear one person talk about how she was, quote, articulate, which, poor barack obama had to hear about a thousand times during the 2008 campaign. oh, he's so articulate. and i'm sitting there looking at these people going, what are you talking about? i did not hear "articulate" once yesterday. so, we've moved past a certain landmark. but can you just talk about that? as we move through this campaign process, the best thing for kamala harris, the best thing for black women is that she is treated like everybody else and the woke latte liber
