Tune in to Meet the Press with Chuck Todd, Sundays on NBC News Democrats Bounce Back Tue, 26 Jul 2016 12:35:23 GMT From NBC's Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Carrie Dann Talk about a miserable 30-hour stretch for Democrats here in the City of Brotherly Love, starting from Sunday afternoon. The party chair resigned due to the WikiLeaks email release. Division broke out on the conventional floor. And even Bernie Sanders was booed by some of his own backers after he urged support for Hillary Clinton earlier in the day on Monday. It all made last week's disunity at the GOP convention in Cleveland look like an episode of "Downton Abbey" compared with the Democrats' "Mad Max: Fury Road." But in the primetime hour (and a half, since they ran late), Democrats bounced back. It all started when comedian Sarah Silverman, a Sanders supporter, told disruptive Bernie delegates, "To the 'Bernie-or-Bust' people, you're being ridiculous." It carried over to First Lady Michelle Obama's rousing speech, Elizabeth Warren's attack on Donald Trump, and then Bernie Sanders' repeated endorsement of Clinton in the final address of the night. "Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States," he said, which Ted Cruz never did for Trump. The resistance from Sanders' supporters is real, but keep this in mind: According to our July NBC/WSJ poll, 76% of Sanders supporters said they were voting for Clinton vs. 11% for Trump. So this is a very vocal minority. Click for more. First Read's Morning Clips: Michelle Obama's Big Speech A roundup of the most important political news stories of the day. Click for more.
