From the Convention...

OUR song...

Oh Say can you see, by the dawn’s early light.
What so proudly we’ve hailed by the twilight’s last gleaming.
Who’s broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming
And the rocket’s red glare
the bombs bursting through air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh say does that Star spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And the aftermath, Trump and Pence more-or-less mingling with the crowd. Really cool. Trump in his element, talking to real people. Barriers in place, can’t get too close.

Yahoo. Listening to Cspan calls-will give report later.

I'm kind of partial to the fourth verse.

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
