he promised showbiz and pizzazz, and i don't know what was up with the l.e.d. lights last night.ered in your opinion? >> he really has. i'm not a republican. >> you're an independent. >> i am an independent. i was a life-long dem. i think the republicans have crushed it. i think it's great. it is inspirational. you walk on the floor at q over there. people are excited about it. whether you like donald or not -- you know what's weird? you can feel like as the week goes on, they would say donald trump from the podium one guy would go like this. you know? as the week goes on, after rudy giuliani did his speech and mike pence hit it home and newt gingrich who people are undecided about, they said, wait, wait a minute, these people are talking in favor of donald. now everybody's on board. >> from the show and perspective, walking out on monday with the "we are the champions." >> oh, and the fog. >> then you have the next night, the gold doors and him appearing life via satellite from trump tower. we talked about the chopper yesterday. >> that was great! >> what does he need to do. fro

was stunningly uncreative in i terms of showbiz. he hallowed out the party. the people who know what ordert to put speakers in so people aren't leaving at 10:30, they're sidelined. this ise symptomatic of the way he has not only changed the party but really hallowed it out.d maybe he'll build another party later on, but he's not built that other party yet. >> woodruff: mark, we were reading for weeks that the trump party was having difficultyg getting people to come who they wanted to come. has that been an issue or not? do we know about that? >> i think it's pretty obvious we didn't get the stars. it's classic donald trump. i mean, signed up to go to trumu university. he gave you a big sales pitch. he gave a big sales pitch. he said the 2012 convention wasn the most portion convention he'e ever seen and that's why he wash going to with all his friends and his great rolodex, he was going to have a big turnout.a it hasn't turned out that way. but it hasn't been scripted. that has been the knock on past conventions. i will just say one -- . >> woodruff: it has

. >> he did promise showbiz. >> that was plagiarized from teddy roosevelt's speech. >> and every highball team in hurricane. >> he had to make up for scott b with eo. that entrance was a plus. >> that was negative, bakari. >> i like to give credit where credit was due. that was -- >> that was phone. >> magnifico. back to the continue strerssy now. as always, there are missed opportunities. something great happens and then the trump campaign will step on it, right? there was a chance that would be leading our conversation and now we're talking about michelle obama's speech and the former first lady's speech. you had an interview with david trump jr. what happened? >> i asked him, what did you think of her speech? how do you think she did? this is what he said. >> hey, don, how do you think things went tonight? >> i think she did amazing. that's not an easy thing to get up and do, right? i think she did incredibly. for the crowd to be there and just as proud americans, you know, parents, i'm one of -- you know, a father of five and to see what's going on in this country right now, it's

didn't trump say it would be showbiz? so at the very least, people will tune in to watch. >> that's true. thank you, molly ball. >>> in a new report is to be scene, trump could be facing bigger problems. according to the "wall street journal," anti-trump forces in the gop may have the numbers to pull off a coup at the convention in two weeks. kendall, i don't want to get into groundhog day, they're going to take it away from him, we were doing the delegate math. so my question is, what do you got? how many people do you got? is this real? >> oh, this is definitely real. let me tell you, that as founder of free the delegates, i love the fact that the sedation they tranquilized donald trump with is wearing off, because that helps our movement. the more off the cuff he is, the more generated support we get. what's been a large game-changer for us, we married with delegates unbound, and they bought $3 million into this game to be able to organize a ground floor fight and to be able to have a command center to where we're goin

interesting windup to this, too, donald trump, in talking about his convention said it will be way more showbiz than previous ones an previous ones dull as di dishwater. when it came to talking about what was different at this convention, he floated the prospect thhe would give a spee every night of the convention. he said, they want me to give a speech every night. and it was reported he had asked if he could speak every night and ultimately the convention organizers decided that is not a good idea but he will be there on night one. ultimately thursday is the culmination of the convention when he gives his speech. he will be introducing his wife. >> i promised we would get this point on the air. we've been talking about pat smith who lost a son in benghazi. steve, you've been on the home team at a gop convention, part of the planners and part of the gop political structure watching the democratic convention. it sure is different depending upon where your bleachers are. >> for sure. we were talking about mrs. smith and the grief and loss of her son, in 2004 at the bush campaign so close to 9/11

that was his actual first construction project and i think these kids, we have to think of them as showbizs. they've all been on the apprentice. they know how to work a room. they know how to work to the camera. so i wasn't surprised at all by donald jr's performance. i fully expected him to do the job that he did tonight. >> and it starts at the top. you know, i've been saying, i don't know of anyone else who has run for president in the modern era with 100% recognition. i mean, you could make a great case that there were no americans who hadn't heard of dwight david eisenhauiz eisenho world war ii. this guy, when he appeared in smokey silhouette, back lit, that's a guy who you can tell knows what he looks like as a cut-out. >> well, i sort of thought donald would have been more comfortable at the rock & roll hall of fame if he's going to come to cleveland. that's his style. he used to refer to himself as an elvis-like character. so this is the family business. building imagery. appealing to people, making the case for the man, not so much the ideals. donald's ideals have been very flexib

didn't trump say it would be showbiz? so at the very least, people will tune in to watch. >> that's true. thank you, molly ball. >>> in a new report is to be scene, trump could be facing bigger problems. according to the "wall street journal," anti-trump forces in the gop may have the numbers to pull off a coup at the convention in two weeks. kendall, i don't want to get into groundhog day, they're going to take it away from him, we were doing the delegate math. so my question is, what do you got? how many people do you got? is this real? >> oh, this is definitely real. let me tell you, that as founder of free the delegates, i love the fact that the sedation they tranquilized donald trump with is wearing off, because that helps our movement. the more off the cuff he is, the more generated support we get. what's been a large game-changer for us, we married with delegates unbound, and they bought $3 million into this game to be able to organize a ground floor fight and to be able to have a command center to where we're goin

term --always used as a used the term "showbiz." charlie: but does he have it so far?ob: not really. it has been a lot of "duck dynasty," soap opera stars. this convention has been more conventional than we would have thought. i think in part it is because this is a party that does not understand how to deal with this nominee, and we also have a celebrity culture. hollywood is not exactly rushing to be here in cleveland with a controversial nominee. charlie: is it also because we have a nominee who does not quite understand the party? bob: the party is almost a vessel for donald trump. he sensed that discomfort when you talk to the delegates on the floor. there is a friction between those who come here to be rah -rah for donald trump, and those who are party people. trump wantsdonald to enhance his possibilities in his general election, what does he need to do and say? kimberley: the first thing they need to do is unify the delegates that are here, because some of the things the rnc leadership and the trump campaign has been doing with the delegates on the floor -- and

who is a soap opera star and among those type celebrity showbiz figures we'll be hearing from a numberuding iowa senator joni ernst. tom cotton, another iraq war veteran we'll be hearing from tonight. it's not an a-list list of speakers tonight but it is going to be the first scripted presentation from the republican party in terms of how they want to present the republican party of donald trump. >> steve schmidt, one more word about bob dole who at this gathering, absent 41, is really the link to the great past, the veterans of world war ii who formed the modern republican party and built a whole good portion of our country. i'm not at all surprised that bob dole is in that box. >> no. and also at this time of this unity, you think about bob dole on a national ticket 40 years ago and recovering for years in the percy jones hospital with daniel inoye. and when he was laid to rest with bob dole who came up and said my old friend danny wouldn't want to see me in this wheelchair, he stood up and saluted that great american hero. this was a time when we understood we were not each other's

simon fans buzzing after his comments to the "new york times" that showbiz no longer holds nis interest coming just yet. did you see that, guys? >> well done. >> thank you. he's got a european tour that's a good song. >> yes, we don't want silence now though. >> better when paula doesn't sing it. >> i heard her going and thought, less of that. >> bad idea, wasn't it? >> you actually sound good. >> she does have a good voice. >> i wasn't trying there. >> i wasn't trying there? >> i wasn't trying. >> justin biebs, his battle with gravity continues. that is a line from mike millhaven. the biebs has fallen once again, this time while performing his hit song "sorry" in florida. the singer seen playfully splashing around during his "purpose" tour when he suddenly goes crashing again. >> is he slipping over and over? >> no, no, this is a repeat. we've got one fall there. this isn't the first time justin suffered a nasty fall while performing. this fan video taken in canada last month shows justin walking down the stage and then tumbling off the edge. i think falling is his new thing, kind of l

trump promised the convention would be showbiz. what happened to that plan?g the hard way that the convention is a series of events that have to be well timed and you can't just simply have surprise guests. you can't just assume people are going to want to necessarily speak and especially at a controversial convention. there's been a lot of business leaders that have opinion shy in supporting the convention financially so donald trump is going to make this the convention of trump. >> yeah but when he advertised or he promoted that there were going to be all of these stars and celebrity speakers, instead, here's who will be there. the 48th ranked female golfer. a former calvin clien model the president of the ultimate fighting championship and a star. was he unable to get the bigger names? >> clearly he didn't get the names he wanted to get but it's not the worst thing to do something traditional since he has been anything but traditional and maybe he thought some of the other speakers would out shine him and now thursday night he will own it and there will be

it's certainly interesting and it certainly has given us some kind of surprise and a little bit of showbiz right before the critical decisions have to be made behind the scenes. when we're able to see family members walking into the official residence of the governor. we know that newt gingrich is coming in. it's just interesting stuff that makes for political reporting and it's also raising the stakes of who have will he choose, and that seems to be adding to it as well, kristin. >> certainly fascinating optics, there's no doubt about that. nbc's kelly o'donnell covering all of the angles. really appreciate it, we'll check back in with you later. >>> coming up, supreme smackdown, high court justice ruth bader ginsburg unleashes attacks against donald trump. trump fires back. has the 2016 race reached rock bottom? we'll discuss that after a quick break. you can go ahead and stick with that complicated credit card that limits where you earn bonus cash back. or... you can get the quicksilver card from capital one. quicksilver earns u unlimited 1.5% cback on ev-ry purchase, ev-e-ry-where. i s

he mixed kind of showbiz and violence in a way that had never been done before. >> at the end of the innocence we had at the beginning of the '70s. >> it became an era where americans began to expect the worst. >> america certainly had lost its way. criminals were lauded and killers were romanticized. >> it was the news media that helped carry this message that america is a dangerous place. that americans had a love affair with violence. actually, it was much more like a marriage. and the marriage for some people was till death do them part. >> for a time, social scientists describe the wave of violence that struck our cities as an epidemic. and they identified some of the causes. poverty, broken homes. for some, violence has become a permanent part of the fabric of life. sociologists call it a subculture of violence. the current wave of violent crime is well into its second decade. while we have deplored violence, we've not done much about it. perhaps this is because confronting the problem of violence forces us to confront the most serious defects in our society. -- captions by vit

. >>> still to come, this year trump is promising a showbiz convention. you remember the awkward celebrity moment from the last one when clint eastwood yelled at a chair to represent barack obama? i'm going to ask a romney strategist who helped run that show. what can we expect from the reality show hosted by candidate trump? here's another tweet from a viewer about an earlier discussion. let me take a look at this, sweet pea, once again nut-job liberal @smerconish, do you like that? do i strike you as a nut job? we just spent five years together. tried to take away the bill of rights from us right at the top of this show. they don't want you bringing your gun to this convention, all right? that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet? thosthey are.sses? do i look smarter? yeah, a little. you're making money now, are

donald trump promised a showbiz feel to this week's convention. for his roles in "happy days", "charles in charge." the latter in "general hospital" and "melrosetonio joins me live. >> how are you guys? cleveland is awesome. >> cleveland is awesome. what's with the neck gear? >> these are hawaiian fans that came all the way from hawaii and gave me this beautiful lei and that's it. they are all over. there's people from all over the world here. >> let's talk about the man you're supporting, donald trump. why trump? >> that's the only choice. there is no one else. trump should just win it now so we can move on and get our country back on track. >> you don't think there should even be an election? >> i don't think so. we have seen enough. enough is enough. >> antonio, there had been promises of lots of folks like you, lots of celebrities. so far we have seen "duck dynasty" willie robertson. why not a lot lot of celebrities? >> i can speak for myself. i'm very thankful. i thank christ every day for giving me the opportunity to be here and speak. i bel

>> reporter: donald trump wanted to add a little showbiz. he did leading up to the convention.onsider the drama behind the scenes. the final moments like the final moments of an apprentice board room. who was he going to pick? it was going to gingrich, pence and chris christie. yesterday news started leaking that the choice was pence from reliable sources. some who said the decision had been made and all but finalized. pence even getting on a plane and coming to new jersey. staying overnight here in new york city. but as our own kelly o'donnell has been reporting, he didn't make his decision until midnight last night saying if he could change his mind. that shows you the degree of uncertainty around this pick. despite that, i talked to sources within the family and sources close to the candidate and sources in the campaign. they do all say they believe that governor pence was the right choice ultimately. he will be able to balance out the ticket. donald trump is unpredictable. he's a unique candidate. governor pence is very predictable. he stays on message. he's not going to ma

like the elites and doesn't care, then why does he seem to be so bothered by the fact that these showbiztes shunned him? >> well, look, his people are people who feel that the elites are snobs. i think it's kind of amazing that this is a guy who said, look, i'm not a great speech maker, i'm not raising any money, i'm a little erratic, but i'm going to put on a hell of a show. >> that's what he said. >> and it wasn't a well produced show, to the extent that they're productions and they're designed to introduce, create rhythm. i remember being in cleveland and thinking, why is the good speaker just before primetime and the general manager of the trump vineyard in primetime next? it would go up and down. i don't think i've seen a convention as expertly produced as hillary clinton's convention since the 2004 convention in new york for the republicans. >> but in the end, really quickly, do conventions matter? do they change votes? >> i don't know if they change votes. this one mattered. this one also got under donald trump's skin. so we've got a much more savage donald trump, who is now cheer
