john king is joining us, and michael smerconish, gloria borger, and also maria cardona, lieutenant governor andre bower, and also christine quinn, plus bill press who came into the convention staunchly behind bernie sanders. are you now on team clinton? >> for four more hours. sorry, on sanders team for four more hours. >> i see. okay. >> so bill, what do you want to hear secretary clinton talking about tonight? >> you know what, she'sed is so much advice from so many people, the last thing she needs is more advice from me, but i want to hear who hillary clinton really is. it's funny, she's been 24 years on the public national stage and there is a lot of her that we don't know about. we've learned a lot from bill clinton. i want to pick up on what david chalian was saying. i would hope that she would tell her story. i'm a mom, i'm a grandmother, and i'm a fighter, fighting for this group, this group, and now i want to be president because i want it fight for you. ic that would address the trustworthy issue. if i were her, i would almost avoid donald trump. let's get to know hillary clinton.

michael smerconish. gloria borger. michael nutter. bill press. and christine quinn. and trump supporters andre bauer, former lieutenant governor of south carolina. this is certainly not the way that the dnc planned this convention to start off. john king, we have seen not only the controversy of the e-mailes. we saw debbie wasserman schultz refusing to not appear here, and then agreeing not to appear after being booed this morning. demonstration in the streets. sanders getting booed when he talked about supporting hillary clinton. >> reliving the campaign debate over super delegates as they have this platform discussion here. in which the sanders campaign won on key points. donna brazile, i was talking to her yesterday, she said we watched a messy republican convention where she tried to be democrats. now we will really show them democrats. about 43% of the people in this room are bernie sanders supporters. they were coming in a little agitated anyway. at the end of the primary, younger ones especially, always suspected the system was rigged. then this e-mail story b

michael smerconish is with me, also with us, bacari seller, from the south carolina house.m out. >> it's easy to just label this as being ignorant. it's easy to label this as being below what most journalists hold to be the bar. but i think it is deeper than that. i think it is the fact that many times african-americans in this country don't get their life valued. there is a question about human decency. there is a question about human dignity. and in that clip, bill o'reilly didn't display any of that. i think any -- it is not an appearance to defend slavery. what he did was say that slaves were well fed which is beyond the pale. it is not as if he gave the appearance of anything. he was speaking in a way that was disrespectful to the legacy of many people who came to this country in shackles and actually were tormentetormented, were be died. if they had any choice, no, mr. o'reilly, they wouldn't be building the white house. they would be living free. i think the fact that he can't wrap his head around those words of dignity and decency, i really have no use for him at al

xm radio host, michael sm smerconish. y ina mallika henderson, jeffrey lord and s.e.ones. nia, do you buy reince priebus' argument that the differences between trump and pence are actually valuable or is it a liability? >> i think it depends on how this whole kind of shotgun arranged marriage goes. we'll see what the democrats try to do with mike pence's record. you can see that donald trump is obviously trying to in part run on pence's indiana record. democrats will try to make hay out of that. you can imagine that democrats will try to go into some of these states like ohio and the rust belt particularly and say, listen, mike pence also was a supporter of nafta. also a supporter of tpp. so i think it's an evolving thing. you are a republican. you have to put a good face on this. for mike pence, the real problem is going to be whether he expands the base of voters. he is i think, shoring up those republican voters. is he going to be able to expand into some of those sun belt states where it's a more diverse -- >> there are always differences between the vice presiden

let's discuss this, as cnn commentator engine commentat commentator smerconish.o-called short list of what we think we know about donald trump's possible picks. on it, governor chris christie, newt gingrich, senator jeff session, and senator bob corker. would he pick christi? what does that buy him. >> here is the starting point. hillary can have whomever she wants. donald cannot. he gets to the short list, because the most a twraktiv candidates would not be interested in being his vice-presidential candidate, like john kasich, like marco rubio. it is a more selective crew he has to pick from. chris christie, i don't know what he brings to the table, because he is not going to win any additional states, given his poll numbers in new jersey, that he will even help in the garden state. i've looked at christi as the attorney general of the trump administration. it is unnlikely. he has put it on the line for donald trump. he is all in this candidacy and paying a price for it at home. >> about whatabout the others, senator bob corker, if you're thinking his deficit is

i think michael smerconish can speak to that.make the decision about who carries this -- >> that message plays in the philadelphia suburbs. my neighbors, when i'm in a back to school night, when i'm pumping gas, when i'm interactive with members of the public, they're not all left, they're not all right. for them the issues a mixed bag. they're liberal on some things, usually social issues, conservative on other matter, usually the economic matters, having sat through everything in cleveland and halfway through here in philadelphia, that's the first speech reaching out to someone like me, some of the 42% of those of us who are independent, not republican or democrat. >> there's no one else who could have done it in that way. he's another new york billionaire and he's not a democrat. when he said trump says he wants to run the nation the way he runs his company and then he says "god help us." >> we got a second opinion. he had a billionaire come that says he's a quack doctor, second opinion says donald trump is a quack. >> jeffrey
