From the July 21 edition of CNN's New Day:

MAEVE RESTON: It's been so fascinating watching this convention because usually this is a time, a reset time where you move beyond the Republican primary voter and start to speak to that broader audience of voters. And that's what's going to be really interesting listening to Donald Trump tonight. I don't think that we've heard that at this convention. There haven't been a lot of bridges to the women who are unsure about his temperament and people who were undecided. It's been very Benghazi, heavily focused on the kind of arguments that work with the Fox News crowd. So that's a lost opportunity there.
