Joining us now from the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte campaign strategist Fox News political analyst Democrat Joseph tripping.
Good to have you with -- jar and -- we appreciate your being -- this.
-- -- so busy night down there let me start with the last night if I may because I wanna get your reaction.
To news.
To me -- -- of the slick Willy.
That is used as an appellation not a a not derisively.
The president was.
He was working magic last I wasn't.
He as he was working a lot of magic in the hall and I think out across the country look.
That -- have the big thing he has this credibility on the economy mean most people remember.
The recession turning it around job growth balancing the budget cutting you know producing a surplus.
For him to sit there and -- to CN there and say look.
I'm here to tell you that not -- not any predecessor.
Couldn't fix the broken economy that Barack Obama was yet been.
In a first term in just one term.
That -- credibility with a lot of people out there particularly the undecideds that are left I think it I think the speech at the mark when those.
Yeah I think it -- I said.
You -- unable to hear -- I know that you.
After being heartbroken that you -- white chalk talk tonight but I -- I heard it -- I actually examine why perhaps the president should have had a few more minutes -- news.
-- time because.
He left out some really important facts for example Ronald Reagan's first term.
Which you recall was extraordinary what he did turn around the economy and he did -- the first four years.
At Franklin Delano Roosevelt inheriting a depression for crying out -- These are significant numbers I think for president last night was a little if I may and I think he was.
-- customarily.
Modest what do you think.
But I mean I think but he made the case of -- you know any and you're gonna hear that continue to hear this tonight -- you don't don't down on trip them trickle down.
And -- pointed out.
That in the four years before he was president before he was president the deficit quadrupled.
And in the four years after he was president -- doubled again under that under both.
Bush 41 and 43.
So you know day and now.
If -- that was you do you're now looking at Barack Obama.
Look what Obama's gonna -- They say I was -- -- bad hand that in person was bad luck it's not bad luck with that policies and Ron Reagan and he didn't Ryan Romney.
Chronicle back to those failed policies I want to keep moving forward I'm not happy with the progress.
We gotta keep moving but stick with me don't go back I -- that's going to be the cadence that I think Clinton started last night -- now moving forward Obama tonight.
Did did Clinton help -- heard it tonight because I don't -- he how he put up a heck of a standard.
Four and we're giving speeches last night now Obama has to match.
I don't know Clinton helped him enormously and I didn't think Clinton to make a defence of the Obama presidency.
Much better than Obama can't because it comes from a person has tremendous credibility on the economy.
And as an arbitrator.
Of what's what's gonna work and what isn't gonna work.
-- -- -- That's what he did he set up Obama to make that case and Obama's gonna make -- -- he's gonna let the roofs gonna come off this place tonight any doubt about that.
All right -- -- be up watching to make certain -- -- forecast holds true as it usually does it should be good to have you with.
-- -- -- --
