[Typical_Whitey]

Friends, delegates and fellow Americans: I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States. Together, we will lead our party back to the White House, and we will lead our country back to safety, prosperity, and peace. We will be a country of generosity and warmth. But we will also be a country of law and order.

Our Convention occurs at a moment of crisis for our nation. The attacks on our police, and the terrorism in our cities, threaten our very way of life. Any politician who does not grasp this danger is not fit to lead our country.

Americans watching this address tonight have seen the recent images of violence in our streets and the chaos in our communities. Many have witnessed this violence personally, some have even been its victims.

I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end. Beginning on January 20th 2017, safety will be restored.

It's a hypnotic persuasion technique.

[Mr Apple]

On January 21st of 2017, the day after I take the oath of office, Americans will finally wake up in a country where the laws of the United States are enforced.”

Beauty & eloquence
I know she’s reading from prompter but wish she’d read straight into the camera...it’s a little awkward.

[Typical_Whitey]

LOL you get a load of the video montage of Trump it was awe inspiring.... never seen anything like it...

[Syncro]

She is looking directly at me.

Who can blame her?

: > )

[Syncro]

Ivanka is rockin’ it big time!

She’s da bomb

[LonePalm]

What was that music the played when The Donald walked out on stage?

"Ceterum censeo Hillary esse delendam."

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

The theme song form the NBC program The West Wing
I thought it was inspired and funny to jab libs with it

[Paleo Pete]

I’m watching, might read later. So far, pretty good.

Correction
It was the theme from the movie the American president
It was directed by Ron Reiner. Lol

[Syncro]

I'm watching on Fox News channel

Waiting for Megyn Kelly, sitting with her ex-bf Brit Hume, to break in to the speech to make it all about herself.

I'll switch to Fox Business for Trish and if MTV’s Kennedy is on the screen it's CSPAN for me.

--She is looking directly at me. Who can blame her?

Na-uh, she was looking at me first! :-)

[Finatic]

Wow! I’m watching live. This is epic.

[Phillyred]

Love it! Cannot wait for January.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Impressive.

[Phillyred]

Goosebumps

[Reno89519]

Why did it get released? Maybe to show off what he can do without a TelePrompTer. Absolutely incredible. Just incredible.

[Churchillspirit]

Perhaps deliberate - like the Declaration of Independence.
