ANNOUNCER: This is NEW DAY with Chris Cuomo and Alisyn Camerota.

ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN ANCHOR: Welcome to our viewers in the United States and around the world. You're watching NEW DAY. We are live from the Republican National Convention as we have been all week here in Cleveland.

Well, it was a defiant Donald Trump accepting his party's nomination last night, declaring that America is in crisis. Trump says the problems are getting worse and that he's the only one who can fix them.

CHRIS CUOMO, CNN ANCHOR: Trump also took on the competition. He was blaming Hillary Clinton in a big way, basically saying the status quo that isn't working, there's one person to blame, and it's Hillary Clinton. Now, the question is, whom did he reach out to? Did he broaden his base?

We've got every angle covered for you. Let's begin with CNN's Phil Mattingly.

Phil, tell us about it.

PHIL MATTINGLY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Chris. The themes, they weren't new. But the delivery, raw with ominous tones and bold promises. There was nothing subtle about Donald Trump's message last night.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

D. TRUMP: I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States.

MATTINGLY (voice-over): In the biggest speech of his life, Donald Trump declaring America's in crisis.

D. TRUMP: Not only have our citizens endured domestic disaster, but they've lived through one international humiliation after another.

MATTINGLY: At times painting an exceedingly dark picture of the state of the country.

D. TRUMP: The attacks on our police and the terrorism of our cities threaten our very way of life.

MATTINGLY: The Republican nominee speaking ominously about the dangers of illegal immigration.

D. TRUMP: Where was the sanctuary for all of the other Americans who have been so brutally murdered and who have suffered so, so horribly?

MATTINGLY: And portraying America as a broken nation that he is uniquely qualified to bring together.

D. TRUMP: Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it.

MATTINGLY: Trump's message for the public: "I'm with you."

D. TRUMP: People who work hard but no longer have a voice, I am your voice.

MATTINGLY: Rejecting globalism, Trump insisting America first.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: USA, USA.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: USA, USA.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: USA, USA.

D. TRUMP: USA, USA.

MATTINGLY: His key theme: restoring law and order to a country he says has been overwhelmed with crime and violence.

D. TRUMP: The crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon -- and I mean very soon -- come to an end.

MATTINGLY: Trump blaming America's ills on his rival, Hillary Clinton, and the Obama administration.

D. TRUMP: This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton. Death, destruction, terrorism, and weakness.

MATTINGLY: Casting Clinton as a politician controlled by donors.

D. TRUMP: She is their puppet, and they pull the strings.

MATTINGLY: And the Republicans as the party of truth.

D. TRUMP: If you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefully crafted lies, and the media myths, the Democrats are holding their convention next week. Go there.

MATTINGLY: His attacks revving up the Cleveland crowd, but the nominee showed signs of restraint, quieting calls to send Clinton to jail, instead focusing on the fight ahead.

D. TRUMP: Let's defeat her in November.

MATTINGLY: And avoiding using his popular moniker, Crooked Hillary, a stark difference from his boisterous rallies. In the longest acceptance speech in 40 years, Trump reinforced the key promises of his campaign.

D. TRUMP: We are going to build a great border wall.

MATTINGLY: While dialing back on others, like his proposed ban on all Muslims entering the U.S.

D. TRUMP: We must immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism.

Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.

MATTINGLY: The Republican nominee challenging conservative orthodoxy by sharply criticizing America's trade deals and denouncing the foreign policy of both Democratic and Republican administrations.

D. TRUMP: After 15 years of wars in the Middle East, after trillions of dollars spent and thousands of lives lost, the situation is worse than it has ever been before.

MATTINGLY: Trump making history as the first Republican nominee to embrace the LGBTQ community at a convention.

D. TRUMP: I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology.

MATTINGLY: The New York billionaire completing his improbable takeover of the Republican Party, though it hasn't been smooth sailing this week, with Ted Cruz's endorsement snub and the plagiarism controversies involving his wife.

Trump and his running mate trying to project a united front and hoping Cleveland gives them a boost heading into November.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

MATTINGLY: And guys, Donald Trump's advisers have made no secret of their theory of this race. They want to reach out and identify with the disenfranchised, those unsettled by what's been happening in the country, those who haven't felt an economic recovery. Donald Trump making very clear last night that's who he's going after. More or less doubling down on what we've seen over the last couple of months.

The question now is, is that group of people a big enough part of the electorate to win in November? That's something we're going to have to wait to find out -- guys.

[06:05:7] CAMEROTA: OK, Phil, thanks so much for setting all of that up for us.

Let's discuss it now with Christine Quinn, Hillary Clinton supporter and the vice chair of the New York State Democratic Party; and CNN political commentator Corey Lewandowski. He's a former Trump campaign manager who is still receiving severance pay from the Trump campaign. Good morning to both of you.

CHRISTINE QUINN, VICE CHAIR, NEW YORK STATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY: Good morning.

CAMEROTA: Christine, your impressions of the speech last night?

QUINN: Well, you know, I think the speech was incredibly angry. It was -- Donald Trump in some ways amped up. And I think at the end of the day, it's not a message that's going to bring in the extra voters that Donald Trump needs to win.

I don't think he -- clearly did the opposite of reaching out to Latinos. He did -- doubled down again on his efforts to keep people out. He didn't put any new plans out that could give Americans a confidence that, behind that anger, is actually a plan to eradicate it.

And I just have to say, as an LGBT person myself, it was so noteworthy that he said he would stand with the LGBTQ community internationally.

CAMEROTA: To protect you from terrorism.

QUINN: Internationally, right. Which is what he should be doing for every citizen.

But he stood in a convention center that put out the most anti-LGBT platform we've seen recently: endorsing conversion therapy, something that we know has literally caused children to take their lives. That's not keeping me and my brothers and sisters safe. And it's not going to reach out to mothers and fathers and guardians in America who want to protect their children in every way. It was angry. It was vitriolic, and it lacked anything to give voters

hope. Yes, they want their anger affirmed, but they want hope.

CUOMO: There's an indication that it worked. Our poll after the speech last night, 57 percent of the respondents said they saw it highly favorable.

CAMEROTA: Very positive reaction.

CUOMO: They really liked it. Why do you think? Why, Corey?

COREY LEWANDOWSKI, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Well, I think what you have is he's telling the truth. That is what has gotten Donald Trump where he is today. He's gone out, and he's talked about things that no other candidates want to talk about, whether that's illegal immigration, the impact it has. He talked about Jamil Shaw. He talked about Kate Steinle. He's talked those individuals, those specific people, those American citizens who have had their lives or their family's lives taken from them from illegal aliens.

He's talked about the need to make sure he appoints the right person to the Supreme Court. It's a very important issue as it relates to the Second Amendment, which is a big issue for not just for the Republican base but those working-class individuals who are very concerned about a Supreme Court appointee who may limit their Second Amendment rights.

He talked about a lot of things, talked about student loan debt. He talked about the need to make sure that trade specifically comes back.

Look, the message of this speech was very clear. Two things: No. 1, America first. He's very clear about that. No. 2, make America great again.

And if you had to summarize what the Clinton campaign stands for, you go out on the street and ask those people, nobody knows the answer. If you ask what Donald Trump stands for, it's very simple. He wants to make America great again.

His vision is different than the Clinton campaign's vision. And what the difference is here is that he's laid out a way to put Americans first and make sure that we're not going to war if it's not in the best interests of our country. We're not going to do things anymore that aren't in the best interests of our people. And that's the difference.

QUINN: He's laid out a slogan. And a new slogan every night. Right? And summing it up with the one of the last night. But he hasn't actually laid out plans.

And I just want to say, I find it the height of hypocrisy that Donald Trump would stand on this national stage, talking about trade and loss of jobs, when he himself in his company has taken countless jobs out of America, laid American workers off to move jobs abroad.

This is a man who says one thing and does another, and what he does is not ever in the interests of the people he's working with or wants to work for. It's in the interests of his bank account and his pocketbook.

LEWANDOWSKI: The law and order candidate, which he is now clearly representing, is not just about what the police are doing versus the non-police. This is about Hillary Clinton and everybody else.

There are two separate sets of rules. You know, she should have clearly been indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And they chose not to do that.

There are two separate sets of rules here. And the people of America, outside the beltway, outside New York City, understand that, and they're frustrated by that. And that's what he's talking about.

If you look at the people he's talking to, those are the people in Ohio, where we sit today; those are the people in Pennsylvania. And in order for him to win this election, which he's going to do, you need to win those states. And those are the people that are going to take you there.

QUINN: Before Chris says it, back off of New York, brother. It's an important city, the best city in the world. And a city that's shown the deepest American values coming back from the worst terrorist attack. So New Yorkers need jobs.

LEWANDOWSKI: No one's -- no one's making...

QUINN: Don't be picking on my city, brother. That's all I'm saying.

LEWANDOWSKI: No one's making any statements about New York.

QUINN: You did. You did.

LEWANDOWSKI: But what I'm saying is that speech last night specifically targeted those people who have lost their jobs...

CUOMO: All right. All right.

QUINN: That's the home town.

LEWANDOWSKI: ... through bad trade deals. Look, upstate New York has had the same problem as Ohio has, as Michigan, so...

CAMEROTA: Sure, of course. Of course.

LEWANDOWSKI: ... just so we're clear.

CAMEROTA: You know what was an interesting moment last night, Corey? He made a direct appeal to Bernie Sanders supporters. He said, "The system is rigged against you." What can Donald Trump do for liberals?

LEWANDOWSKI: Look, it's the trade issue. Right? So Bernie Sanders has -- his supporters are in the exact same spot that Donald Trump has been, which is America is being taken advantage of because of bad trade deals. Hillary Clinton has supported the TPP. She's supported a number of

bad trade deals. And this has been a major component of the Democratic primary race, where Hillary Clinton had to continue to move her position to align herself with the Bernie Sanders wing of the party. She's still not there 100 percent. And that's why on two separate occasions last night during the speech he reached out to those Sanders people and said, "Come join me, because if you want a good trade deal, you want America first, I will help get you there."

QUINN: If he had any interest in actually reaching out to Sanders voters -- and the polls show repeatedly that all of the worry that the Sanders voters would not support Secretary Clinton is completely untrue. Only a few single digits of Sanders voters are out there not yet coming to Secretary Clinton. A very unified party versus the vast lack of unity we saw here over this week, i.e. Ted Cruz.

But if Donald Trump had any interest in even thinking about Sanders voters, why did he pick a vice-presidential nominee who has one of the worst records on women, one of the worst records on choice, and in fact was the person who started the most recent rash of legislative attacks against the LGBT community?

And people, you know, on this stage behind me have heralded what Governor Pence did economically in his state. Well, let's look back to not so long ago when he pushed for the anti-LGBT legislation that almost caused the NCAA to move out of the state and cost his state tons of money.

LEWANDOWSKI: Donald Trump is the first candidate to put someone on stage, a business executive in Peter Thiel, who is openly gay on a Republican platform, to give him a primetime speaking slot to tell about his inclusion into this.

Now, you can say what you want about this. This has been a very inclusive convention. It is a cohesive convention. And every Republican delegate who was in this room last night is voting for Donald Trump and not Hillary Clinton. I'm sure of that.

CUOMO: And look, in terms of broadening the base, maybe you're right. Maybe every delegate in this room is going to vote for Donald Trump now. But you also had the least Latino and black delegates that you've had in recent history.

QUINN: Right. Ever. Ever.

CUOMO: So there's some work there to do. The question is, did that speech last night help take him to the next level?

QUINN: And it's one thing to put an openly LGBT person on the stage, but when that stage is based on a platform that doesn't support marriage, supports conversion therapy, a practice that all legitimate psychiatrists and psychologists have singled out as life-threatening to children. I can tell you people I know who went through that. And they're lucky they got out alive. So you can put whoever you want on the stage, but if you're really attacking our children, you're not for us. LEWANDOWSKI: I don't think anybody is attacking anyone in that

regard.

QUINN: That's what conversion therapy is.

CAMEROTA: Corey, Christine, thank you. Great to talk to you.

CUOMO: So Donald Trump certainly, maybe not to people's satisfaction sitting to my left, but he certainly did things last night that we haven't seen at an RNC. You just saw his daughter walking out. She talked about wage equality for women last night. Donald Trump thanked the crowd for being supportive of LGBTQ rights. That's new.

We have Jason Carroll, CNN correspondent, taking us through the Ivanka effect from last night. What did you see, my friend?

JASON CARROLL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Chris, Ivanka Trump told the crowd last night that real change has to come from outside the system. She described her father as a fighter and a man of kindness and compassion. All this in an effort to portray a different side of the candidate and to reach out to women and communities of color.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

I. TRUMP: Like many of my fellow millennials, I do not consider myself categorically Republican or Democrat. More than party affiliation, I vote based on what I believe is right for my family and for my country.

CARROLL (voice-over): Donald Trump's eldest daughter, Ivanka, trying to broaden her father's appeal, branding him the people's nominee.

I. TRUMP: My father values talent. He recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it. He is color blind and gender neutral. He hires the best person for the job, period.

CARROLL: Ivanka Trump making the case to female voters.

I. TRUMP: At my father's company, there are more female than male executives. Women are paid equally for the work that we do, and when a woman becomes a mother, she is supported, not shut out. He will fight for equal pay for equal work, and I will fight for this, too, right alongside of him.

CARROLL: Her speech caps four days of personal testimonies from Trump's children and his wife, Melania.

I. TRUMP: In the same office in Trump Tower where we now work together, I remember playing on the floor by my father's desk, constructing miniature buildings with LEGOs and Erector Sets while he did the same with concrete, steel, and glass. My father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong ethical compass.

CARROLL: It wasn't just a family affair. Trump's business partner and personal friend of 40 years, Tom Barrack, touting a side of Trump many may not know.

TOM BARRACK, BUSINESS PARTNER AND FRIEND OF TRUMP: He has these relentless, these relentless beautiful habits. He shows up on time. He believes that punctuality is the courtesy of kings. He doesn't confuse efforts with results. He befriends the bewildered.

CARROLL: And in a historic moment, openly-gay tech billionaire Peter Thiel receiving a rousing response after making this statement.

PETER THIEL, INVESTOR AND ENTREPRENEUR: Of course every American has a unique identity. I am proud to be gay. I am proud to be a Republican. But most of all, I am proud to be an American.

CARROLL: Thiel insisting conservatives are focused on the wrong social issues.

THIEL: Now we are told that the great debate is about who gets to use which bathroom. This is a distraction from our real problems. Who cares?

CARROLL: His comments come as the Republican Party is facing criticism for passing an anti-LGBT platform, which stands in sharp contrast to Trump's views on gays.

D. TRUMP: I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and of a hateful foreign ideology. Believe me.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

CARROLL: And Trump supporters say the speeches last night were definitely the bright spot during a rocky convention week. Despite all that, they say last night's speeches will end up putting all of that to rest -- Alisyn.

CAMEROTA: OK, Jason. Thanks so much for breaking all that down for us.

Over on the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton might try to steal the spotlight today from Donald Trump by announcing her VP pick.

CNN's senior Washington correspondent Joe Johns live in Orlando, where Clinton's campaigning today. Do we think it's going to happen today, Joe?

JOE JOHNS, CNN SENIOR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT: That's anybody's guess, quite frankly, Alisyn. I can tell you her day will get off to a solemn start here in Orlando, Florida. She's coming here to meet with the mayor and others to talk about the recent massacre at The Pulse nightclub.

The expectation is that she will make an announcement on a VP selection either today or tomorrow during campaign swings here in this state.

Now, among the people who have been mentioned right up at the top is Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia. This is a guy who conceivably would bring a lot to the Hillary Clinton campaign. He's a former governor of the state of Virginia, a state that will be very important in the upcoming November election.

He's also a former chair of the Democratic National Committee, a fluent Spanish speaker. So all of those things would mitigate in his favor.

Among the others mentioned right in the top tier, that is Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. He also comes from a very important state. That would be Iowa. Conceivably would bring to the ticket the ability to reach out to people in small towns and talk to them.

She's met with a number of other individuals, and how is that information going to get out about her VP selection? Well, we've been told that she intends to put that out in a text message to her supporters. That, of course, if journalists don't get ahold of the story first.

Back to you.

CUOMO: That was a good caveat there, Joe Johns. Thank you very much.

So one of the stories that has certainly been dominant here at the convention is Trump's kids and their efforts as, really, adults -- we keep calling them kids. I don't know if that means how old I am. But these are kids...

CAMEROTA: Grandpa Cuomo.

CUOMO: ... in their late 20s, 30s, you know. But were they effective in trying to broaden the appeal of their father? And in the biggest example, Ivanka Trump with the important job of making his introduction. We're going to talk about that next.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

[06:23:25] I. TRUMP: At my father's company, there are more female than male executives. Women are paid equally for the work that we do, and when a becomes a mother, she is supported, not shut out.

Politicians talk about wage equality, but my father has made it a practice at his company throughout his entire career.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CAMEROTA: Ivanka Trump reaching out to women voters as she introduced her father last night, but did Trump's speech help his appeal to all voters?

Joining us now is CNN political analyst and host of "The David Gregory Show" podcast, David Gregory; CNN national political reporter Maeve Reston, and CNN senior political analyst and senior editor of "The Atlantic," Ron Brownstein. David, she talked about a lot of things that her father has not talked

about: pay equity and better working conditions for pregnant women, for working moms. What did you make of it?

DAVID GREGORY, CNN POLITICAL ANALYST: Well, I think it's a certain amount of testimony about her father but also the kind of professional and businessman that he is. I mean, I think she is trying to fill out his biography.

She's done it well before. I think about the CNN town hall that the Trumps did that exposed, I think, more Americans to that side of Donald Trump.

Clearly, it's not something that he's very good at doing himself, filling out his own biography. So much of his time in such a long speech is filled with a very personal, dark vision for America, a kind of personal politics. He has to rely on Ivanka Trump.

I don't know that he can do that between now and election day, but he can certainly rely on her as probably his most important surrogate.

CUOMO: It is not fair to put any standard on his kids of objectivity about their father. That's wrong and silly.

However, Ron Brownstein...

RON BROWNSTEIN, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL ANALYST: Yes.

CUOMO: ... as you've been pointing out very astutely, this -- what she was saying was something that's very different than what he's doing.

BROWNSTEIN: It was -- it was the alternative universe version of what the campaign could have been. I mean, there's a debate, kind of a parlor game among political professionals.

What if he had run as a can-do outsider, pragmatic business guy, who was going to take his private-sector smarts to shake up the public sector without the harsh rhetoric on immigration and on Muslims and the kind of divisive nativism? Her speech was that campaign. There was none of that in -- in her remarks.

And she really did, I think, make an effective case for him as someone who does not -- is not biased by race or by gender and cares more about results.

The problem is he followed her immediately after, and he gave a speech that was very polarizing, very confrontational, and kind of had this kind of menacing view of America that does resonate with the people for him. The question is whether it will seem plausible and/or desirable for those more moderate, suburban white-collar voters that are the biggest barrier between him and the White House at this point.

CAMEROTA: Maeve, how did you see it?

MAEVE RESTON, CNN NATIONAL POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT: I thought she did a great job in terms of doing what he has not been able to do on the campaign trail in terms of reaching out to those independent voters, actually having a message that would appeal to women in a specific way.

I mean, there were no policy specifics in what she talked about, but it was the first time that we heard her really lay out an agenda that she said her father would be a part of. So we'll be waiting to hear the actual details from the campaign on that, since they don't have any so far.

GREGORY: I think the bigger point here is I think voters are going to do a risk analysis on Donald Trump. There's such a desire to shake up the system, to do something different. The question is, is he too risky?

And you know, you get the impression from him, he's clearly not a policy wonk. He may not sweat a lot of those details. And Congress can do a lot of the domestic policy.

But as this strong man who plays on fear, he's risky in terms of America and the rest of the world. And so I think voters do this risk analysis. Is he acceptable enough, and can they accept enough risk associated with him to give it a shot? And that's what he's got to -- he's got to work on the idea that he's acceptable enough, that he's worth taking some risks, because conditions are so bad.

RESTON: And he did show some restraint last night in terms of pulling back. We saw that a number of times. You know, he -- when you see him out at his rallies, he really whips up the crowd, especially that room felt a little flat at certain times during his speech.

CUOMO: Well, it was 75 minutes. It was the longest in decades. It was late already when it started.

BROWNSTEIN: It was almost decades.

CUOMO: Right. But there was one moment last night. I thought he had a couple of moments in a positive way we haven't seen before. He smiled, which matters for politicians. He doesn't usually. He did it a lot.

When they said, "Lock her up," he calmed them down and said, "No, let's defeat her." When he talked about LGBTQ, and they applauded, he said, "Good for you for applauding."

But then, Ron, and this may be the most important one, and I don't know if it went his way, even by his own reckoning. When he says the system, "the system, the system" and "Nobody knows the system better than me." And he stopped during the speech, and he backed up from the podium, and he kind of, you know, did one of his gestures where it was like, "Look," as if to signal, to my interpretation -- Ron, tell me if I'm wrong -- "Look, I know it's not a good thing I was part of this system, but that's why only I can fix it."

I don't know that American people will go for a guy who's part of the problem. BROWNSTEIN: Well, you know, first of all, all the points, all the

other examples you made, absolutely right. Those were grace notes for Donald Trump that were a different kind of tenor and tone than we have often seen from him.

You know, that, I think was -- what you're describing about, you know, "I was part of the system and therefore I can fix it," was a

continuation, I thought, of what he had his kids do all the way through, which was to say, when they kept saying, "I learned more from people out on the front lines than I did from kind of the MBAs in the boardroom," it was to try to deal with the improbability of a thrice- married billionaire from Manhattan being kind of the populist tribune of these kind of disaffected voters. And they have done that. I mean, you know, his strength in kind of working-class white America is enormous at this point in the poll.

But to David's point, the bigger problem is that you have a significant chunk of voters, many of whom usually vote Republican, who view him as too risky on three fronts. Is he qualified, is he dangerous on foreign policy, and will he be too racially divisive at home?

And I think he made some progress there, particularly with the testimony from his children, but the tone of the speech may have rattled some of those voters.

GREGORY: When you talk about law and order and all of the various ailments in the country, what's wrong with the country and people coming to get you and make your life different, that's going to fault on a lot of years as being highly intolerant. How do you reach out beyond is, of course, important.

BROWNSTEIN: There are people who are going to hear this speech as "There are people who don't look like you who are coming to kill you."

CAMEROTA: Well, I'll tell you...

CUOMO: It's known as Europe.

CAMEROTA: I mean, yes, but also, CNN had this focus group and took an instant poll. And 57 percent of them...

CUOMO: Yes.

CAMEROTA: ... saw it as very positive.
