To the Point

Today, Hillary Clinton will become the first woman nominated for president by a major political party. But there are many protesters outside — and, inside the Democratic convention is far from unified. We hear a heart-to-heart between delegates still taking different sides. 

Before the opening gavel, the Democratic convention is looking as dis-unified as the Republicans.  We get a preview of what's to come.

Turkey's crucial role in the Middle East may be changing after the failed coup against President Erdogan. The team sent to assassinate him hasn't been found yet. We hear about potential repercussions for NATO and the United States.

Whatever Donald Trump himself says tonight in a bid for unity, disputes over the “Soul of the Party” are bound to continue — win or lose in November.  The management of the convention has raised questions about the potential staff in a Trump White House.

A divided convention nominated Donald Trump for president last night. There's two days left for Republicans to achieve a degree of unity and pronounce a formula for governing a changing America.   

It's Day Two of the Republican convention in Cleveland. We hear about yesterday's highlights and lowlights and hear what's likely in tonight's prime-time production. 

Against a background of police killings, terrorism and an attempted coup in Turkey, Republicans are gathered in Cleveland to nominate Donald Trump. 

Last night in the city of Nice, France saw it’s third major terror attack in the past 19 months, with at least 84 people killed and two hundred injured. Despite political calls for action, intelligence officials from France to the United States admit they’re at a loss to prevent attacks on crowds that come without any warning.

Donald Trump has promised repeal of President Obama’s major achievement: the Affordable Care Act. Now even Obama is proposing a major change—the “public option” pushed by Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Would that save Obamacare? Would it have a chance of passing the House and the Senate?

Republicans are famous for nominating conventions that run so smoothly it’s a challenge for anybody but delegates to stay awake. Next week’s meeting in Cleveland is going to be very different, as we’ll hear on our program.
