Why ex-Trump adviser thinks GOP appearances at DNC will have ‘zero’ impact

Former Trump campaign adviser David Urban, former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin, former South Carolina state representative Bakari Sellers, and CNN political director David Chalian join CNN’s Jake Tapper to discuss the lineup for night two of the Democratic National Convention.

Moderate Independent here. I have to say it definitely matters to Independents that so many traditional Republicans are endorsing Kamala Harris. It also matters that NO previous Republican presidents or vice-presidents have endorsed Trump. I think tonight Independents will get a chance to see why Harris / Walz should get our vote.

David Urban continues to work as a Republican shill. He offers no perspective other than the usual cliched talking points. There are numerous conservative commentators with intelligence, integrity, and perspective. Why not feature them instead of this gruff grumpy apologist?

[jasonwhite]

Why does he say it? Because he gets paid to. To admit that true independents and the handful of undecided voters will see them speaking as a true sign of cooperation and bipartisan good faith would undermine his job.

As an Independent I have never voted a straight ticket. Voting Blue, Local and State in 2024.

Republicans speaking Won’t make a difference to Trump cult, but will make a difference to undecided

[yvoncroteau]

This republican guy have no credibility on anything !

[hellopaulyen]

Tim Walz has to be accurate for CNN... but Trump can lie his a$$ off. Got it.

[happyoldsoul]

Texan here... My Republican friends who are double haters, are 90% voting Harris🎉

[patricia-yemu]

I disagree with zero difference. There are so many Republicans that have worked tirelessly to keep from Trump from the Oval Office. They deserve recognition and representation.

[niclewis]

Real Republicans know first hand what Trump and MAGA have done to the Party. And the threat to Democracy. Respect to them for putting Country First.

[nightguardian]

I as anti Trump independent will vote dems straight down as answer to Trump stooge.

[bryansands]

I have to hit the mute button whenever Urban speaks. Get rid of him.

[Carolina_Panthers]

I will NEVER vote for trump and his corrupt administration. 2024 💙💙💙🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

That's funny, that bald guy's appearances always has zero impact--less than zero--impact on how elevated Trump gets in my eyes. His appearances and words only confirm how dismal Trump and his acolytes are in a world of goodness.

[susanm]

Here's the thing. A former self professed deeply committed maga supporter spoke at the DNC last night. Anything is possible.

Senior Hispanic for the Blue team. Make America Trumpless again

It will help with any common sense Republican only problem is there’s very few of those. Most of them have already switched over voting for Trump wants is barely forgivable voting for Trump twice is definitely not forgivable voting for Trump a third time is treason.

[danielclingen]

“Zero impact” is a wild claim. The appearances won’t affect die hard trump people but absolutely will give independents and centrist republicans and even conservatives republicans who oppose fascism something to think about. Republicans who care about preserving our republic will hear them out.

[Missy-jr]

CNN....It's important for politicians to be accurate when discussing Democratics. Then why don't you hold Republicans to the same standard?

[anthonyvoss]

But they are also voting for Harris which makes a big difference because that'll be less votes for the Capitol attacker..
