Republican National Convention—Ivanka+Trump

Republican National Convention—Ivanka+Trump

The GOP national convention on the fourth and last day began at 7:30pm with more great talks. They were entertaining, informative, and motivational.  Live complete coverage was via the new RNC channel, and we are watching FoxNews and FBN also for the three hours leading up to Ivanka introducing Donald J. Trump to speak at 10pmET.

Republican National Convention—Ivanka

One year ago I introduced my father to run for president of the United States of America.  He ran in a field of 17 and is now the Nominee. More than party I vote for what is right.  It is not a hard choice this time.

I am here to tell you

[Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump!]

Change will come only from without the System.  Donald Trump works hard and I have seen him fight—first for his company and now for the country.  If it is possible to be famous and not well-known, that is my father.  He gave his children a strong moral compass.

He taught us there is nothing we cannot do, if we marry a work ethic with a vision.  We work for the betterment of the world around us.  [Amazing story] They would leave his office feeling life would be better for them.

He has the strength but also kindness this nation needs.   I’ve seen how he works as a leader.  I’ve learned a lot by waking his side at construction sites.  [Her smile and beauty brings her across as sincere and believable.]  You also saw women—he recognizes talent when he finds it.  He is color-blind and gender-neutral.

You are not a builder unless you have a building to show for it—And in my father’s case, an entire skyline.

He is described as a successful entrepreneur because he listens to everyone working for him.  What counts to him is talent and excellence.  There are more women in his company than men, and they are supported, not shut out.

Women represent 46% of the American workforce, making 83 cents for each dollar made for a man.  [A few additional stats.]  My father will make changes that make child care affordable for all. Etc.  American families need relief.

Politicians talk about wage equality—my father will fight for equal pay for equal work, and I will fight right alongside him.

America needs an economy that will help people rise again.  Donald Trump knows the difference in wanting something done, and getting it done.  Vision becomes reality.  He will deliver. [Standing ovation.]  Donald Trump is incapable of thinking small.  “Ivanka, you will be thinking anyway, you may as well be thinking BIG.”

You will never have to think about being let down:  he will fight for you, all the time, all the way.  He can’t stand to see closed factories, wrong schools, and mothers forced to go back to work to [feed a starving child.]

He is an optimist and loves his family.  Judge my father by his results;  judge his competence with his companies and people he hires.  He will call on talent on both sides of the aisle, for bold new solutions.

No one has more faith in the American Dream than my father;  he will be your best champion.  This is the fighter you have chosen as your Nominee.  He is ready to see it all the way through, to every person, from every background.  I’ve loved and respected him my entire life:  I present to you the next president of the United States, Donald….J….Trump!

The Donald walks in, gives a kiss on each of her cheeks, and a word of praise.

Republican National Convention—Trump

Thank you, thank you, [Trump, Trump, Trump]  Thank you, thank you very much.  Friends, I humbly and thankfully accept your nomination to run for President of the United States.  [Extended cheers,  USA! USA…]  Trump smiles and repeats with them a few times.

Who would have thought when we started, that WE, and I say WE, would receive more than ever, 60% more votes than eight years ago.  On the other hand, Democrats received 20% less. 

Together we will lead put our party back to the Whitehouse and our country back to prosperity and peace.  We will be a country of law and order.

Our convention occurs at a moment of danger in the nation and the world.  Any leader that does not recognize this is not fit to lead this nation.  Attacks on our police (if I’m elected) will come to an end, and I mean very soon.  The most basic responsibility is for the safety of their citizens.

I will present the facts plainly and honestly.  We cannot afford to be so politically correct anymore.  [Realize that almost every sentence is punctuated with cheers and applause.]  If you want to hear lies, go to the Democrat Convention next week.  But here there will be truth, and nothing else.  [USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA!]

Decades of …  [stats]

Homicide is up 17% in largest cities,

In nation capital …

In Chicago, 2,000 people have been victims and 4,000 killed since he took office.

180,000 convicted criminal immigrants are roaming our streets free.

Trump shakes his head no, feigning disbelief [as do we all]

[Build that WALL]   Story of Sarah Routh.  Her killer was released the second time and he is now a fugitive.  I’ve met the family;  to this administration, she was just one more child to sacrifice on the altar of open borders.

Nearly four in ten Black children live in poverty.  Etc. Another 14million have left the workforce entirely.  Our trade deficit, think of this, is $800BILLION last year alone.  We are going to fix that.  [Cheers]

The Budget is no better. And national debt is $19TRILLION dollars and growing.  And what do we have to show for it?  Our bridges and airports are third-world.

Iranian captors forced our Marines to their knees, right after we gave Iran $150BILLION and Iran gave us absolutely nothing.  It will go down in history as the worst deal ever.  President Obama drew a red line in the sand for Syria, and everyone knew it meant absolutely nothing.

[Trump mentions H.Clinton and Benghazi] 

[Lock her up, Lock her up, Lock her up,   (repeat, repeat).]

Let’s defeat her in November.  I’m sure that Obama regrets nominating her.  Bernie Sanders also noted this.  Iran is on the path to nuclear weapons.

After 15 years of war in the Middle East, and trillions of dollars, the situation is even worse!

Her legacy is death, civil war, and weakness.  But Hillary Clinton’s legacy does not have to be America’s legacy.  A change in leadership is required to produce a change in outcomes.

Tonight I will share my plan (different from theirs) to put America first.

Patriotism and not globalism will be our motto.  NATO nations, and other nations, will treat America with the respect we deserve.

My plan starts with safety at home.  There can be no prosperity without Law….and….Order !!!

On the Economy, I’ll outline tonight the changes.  Powerful lobbyists will oppose me.  Believe me, the rigged system benefits them.  They are throwing money because she is their puppet. [Trump is passionate, in voice and hand gestures!]  Things have to change, and they have to change RIGHT NOW!

I have visited the factories and workers that have been crushed by bad trade deals.  That does not have to continue.  I am your voice.

I have no patience for politicians that put their own personal interests before those of America. [[Interuption, Trump just waits.  USA, USA, ]]  How great are our police, and how great is Cleveland?

Thank you [continuing on].  When innocent people suffer because our political system sells out to corporate lobbyists for cash, I will not look the 0ther way.  [Mentions ServerGate, the lies about it, and she faces no consequences.]  I know that corruption has reached a level never before known in our country.  [Read the transcript for more.]  Her single greatest accomplishment may be getting away with it, when others have done much less, and paid dearly.

[Pause]   I have joined the arena to stand up for people who cannot defend themselves.  Nobody knows the system better than me.  [Gives a knowing nod and smile]  which means I know I can fix it!  Bernie Sanders never had a chance.  We will pursue his biggest issue:  trade deals that strip of our wealth and prosperity.  We will help each and every American.

In this cause, I am proud to have at my side, Gov Mike Pence of Indiana.

[Talks about successes in Indiana to cheers.]

America was shocked to our core with police officers being shot and killed.  An attack on law enforcement is an attack on all Americans. I have a message to every last person threatening our police:  When I take office, I will restore law and order to our streets.  Believe me, believe me.  I will appoint people to get the job done.

In this race, I am the ‘law and order’ candidate.  [Obama] has used his office to divide with race and law and order, and failed the inner cities.  It has failed them with jobs, safety, education, and every aspect.

Every action I take, I’ll ask myself:  does this make it better for the young living in Chicago and Baton Rouge. 

We must defeat the barbarians of ISIS and we will defeat them fast.  Once again France is the victim of families being ripped apart by Islamic radicals.  [Mentions USA cities] and many, many more.   They targeted LGBTQ, no good, and we are going to stop them.  They are a hateful, foreign ideology.

And I have to say, as a Republican, it is so nice to hear you cheering for what I just said.

We must have the absolute best gathering of intelligence in the world.  We must abandon nation-building pursued by H.Clinton.  We must work with our allies to stamp out Islamic terrorism, do it now, do it fast.  [Passion here.]

This includes working with our greatest ally in the region, the state of Israel.  [Long, loud cheers]  Recently I said NATO is obsolete, not doing the job, and countries not paying their fair share.  Shortly thereafter NATO said they will step up their fight on terror—a true step in the right direction.

Further, we must suspend immigration from any nation until complete vetting is possible.  [If they hate us] we do not want them in our country.

This is not believable but this is what is happening:  my opponent wants a 500% increase, in addition to all those coming in per Obama.  There is no way to screen these refugees, who they are and where they come from.

I only want those to come in who want our way of life AND LOVES OUR PEOPLE!  Anyone who espouses violence is not welcome and never will be.

African Americans and Latino Americas suffer job loss the most with illegal immigrants.  We heard from three parents whose children were killed by illegal immigrants. They are just a few of many.  Nothing touches me more than parents who have had children lost because of illegals streaming across our borders.  We can stop it—we have to.

My opponent will never met with the parents, believe me.  She will want only sanctuary cities.  Where was the sanctuary for [names names].  It’s so sad to even be talking about it—because we could solve it so quickly.

These families have been alone, but they are not alone any longer.

Tonight, this candidate, and this nation, stands in their corner, and pledge that we will prevent others from reaching the same fate.  WE WILL BUILD THE WALL TO STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, THE GANGS, THE VIOLENCE, THE DRUGS FROM POURING INTO OUR COMMUNITIES! A great WALL.  I have been honored to receive the endorsement of border agents and will work with them directly to end catch-and-release.  It won’t be happening very much anymore, believe me!

Listen very, very carefully:  the day I take the oath of office, Americans will finally wake up where the laws of the United States are enforced.  We are going to be compassionate and considerate to everyone, but priority is to our own citizens.

My plan is the exact opposite of the radical H.R.Clinton.  She wants mass immigration, mass amnesty, and mass lawlessness.  The cycle of poverty makes it almost impossible for people to enter the middleclass.

It’s been my signature message:  I have made billions with deals and I will make America rich again.  We will use the best business people to make great trade agreements.  Since 1997, we have lost 37% of our manufacturing.  It was Bill Clinton that signed NAFTA, the worst in the history of the world.  Not going to happen anymore:  consequences!

[Other bad decisions supported by H.Clinton]  I pledge to never sign any trade agreement that hurts American workers.  America first, again!  Instead, I’ll make individual deals with individual countries, rather than massive multinational deals of thousands of pages that nobody reads.

Further, I’ll stop the intellectual property theft by China. [He’s yelling, still.]

Next comes the reforming tax code:  H.Clinton wants massive tax increases and I’ll make the greatest cuts ever done by a president, to create new jobs to come roaring back, believe me, and it will happen fast.

Excessive regulations cost our nation $2TRILLION/yr.  To change!

We will lift the regulation on energy creation and bring back $20TRILLION.  Our steel workers and our miners will go back to work again.

This new wealth will improve the life for all Americans.  We will build the roads and bridges. 

We will rescue kids by letting parents send them to schools of their choice.

We will repeal, and replace, disastrous Obamacare;  you will be able to choose your own doctor again. 

And we fill fix TSA at the airports, which is a total disaster.

We are going to work with our young students, with their debt. 

We will completely rebuild our depleted Military.  And the countries that we are protecting will be asked to pay their fair share.

We will take care of our great veterans like they have never been taken before. 

This ten-point plan has received great support. 

We do not need our valiant vets waiting on a list for days and die waiting.

We will have department heads submit lists of wasteful projects that we can eliminate, in my first 100 days. [Yes you will,  Yes you will,  Yes you will!]

We are joining to appoint justices to the Supreme Court that will uphold laws and the Constitution.  We will replace Justice Scalia with a similar justice, very important.  We will protect the Second Amendment for people to keep their families safe.

I thank the Evangelicals for their great support, and I’m not sure I totally deserve it.  They have much to contribute to our politics, yet you cannot speak your own minds from your own pulpits.  We will work real hard to repeal the LBJ measure and protect free speech for all Americans.

We can accomplish all these great things.  All we have to do is start believing in ourselves, and in our country, start believing.  It is time to show the whole world that America is back, bigger, stronger, and better than ever before!

In this journey I am so blessed to have at my side, my lovely wife Melania and my children.  Didn’t they do a great job?  I learned the dignity of work, and of working people, from my dad.  I love the workers. From my mother I learned warmth and charity. She was a great judge of character.  [He praises his sisters and brothers, most special.]

I have had a truly great life in business;  but now, my soul and exclusive mission is to go to work for my country [saying this with great pause and emphasis] TO GO TO WORK FOR YOU [points to the crowd/camera] It’s time to deliver a Victory for the American  people.

We don’t win anymore, but we are going to start winning again!

[His concluding sentences are passionate and go off-script] 

We must choose to believe in America;  the world is watching.  America is still free, independent, and strong.  I am asking for your support to be your champion in the WH.  My pledge is “I’m with you” the American people,  [Not “I’m with her.”] 

To every parent that dreams for their child; and for every child that dreams for a better future, I say these words tonight:  To every American, I am with you, I will fight for you, I will win for you. 

To all Americans tonight, in all of our cities and towns, I make this promise:   “We will make America strong again;  We will make America proud again;  We will make America safe again;  And we will make America great again!”   God Bless You, and good night.   I love you!

Melania and Baron are followed onto stage by Trump’s amazing children; and then the Pence family.
