excellent ;)

that’s one of those simple, but deep, one-liners he likes that people will remember

[Right_in_Virginia]

Your line needs to find its way into the rallies! :^D

Hillary will believe in whatever her (Wall Street) donors want her to believe. What a difference between her and Pence. Pence will never be afraid to say "radical Islamic terrorism." Lists terrorist attacks, San Bernadino, Orlando, Paris, WTC.

Hillary Clinton;'s foreign policy helped launch ISIS. If I make one statment, Hillary will take ads slamming my foreign policy, but if you look at my calls, don't go to Iraq, "take the oil," Brexit (talks about immigration shoved down UK throat).

Some of the more fair reporters, about 30% of them, mentioned that I was right.

On to Pence and party unity. Mentions winning the primary in a landslide, it wasn't even close - "we" (me the messenger and the voters) got more votes than any other candidate in history. Thanks the loyal people who, in Cleveland, beat #NeverTrump. People are tired of a country with horrible trade deals, no borders, highest taxes, regulations that make it hard to start and keep a business ...

Says he got over 14,000,000 votes in the GOP primaries—more than anyone else in history

Thanks all the loyal people who made that happen

Says NeverTrump got CRUSHED in Cleveland

People want what we are saying

We are going to take care of the coal miners and steel workers—we are going to put them back to work

[Cboldt]

CNN is also carrying the announcement and speech.

[chrisinoc]

CBS, Bloomberg, CNN, MSNBC, and ABC are all carrying it live. los Angeles local stations are also using feeds.

[exit82]

Thanks the Evangelicals—could not have done it without them

[4Liberty]

Trump's doing a great job today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cboldt]

-- Thanks the Evangelicals--could not have done it without them --

In the platform, going to get rid of the Johnson amendment so evangelicals can speak freely without losing tax-exempt status.

[exit82]

Says we are going to get rid of the “Johnson Amendment”==the IRS rule that muzzles political speech of churches on pain of losing their tax exemption.

(Something the GOP has failed to do since 1954)

Levin's publication is now trying to paint Trump as establishment:

GOP Establishment crushes conservative voices in rules committee

Conservative Review ^ | July 15, 2016 | Robert Eno


During the RNC’s Rules Committee meeting, grassroots conservatives were crushed by the establishment. Openness, transparency, and the rights of the minority lost yesterday in Cleveland. It was a rout. Sure, the headlines coming out of the Rules Committee meeting yesterday were that Free the Delegates and Delegates Unbound were soundly defeated. Hidden under the headlines is the fact that time and time again measures to devolve power to the members of the RNC and away from the chair were soundly defeated - ________ As the meeting finally got underway any rule that would have placed limits or checks on the...

Spending a lot of time on religious voices having a voice.

[TontoKowalski]

Trump has played the media brilliantly over the past week, so that this announcement has become "must see" TV.

Now Twitter journalists saying "I thought this was about Pence." Instead, Trump uses hype he created to address the nation on every station.

And the stations are ALL carrying his message directly to the people.

[Boardwalk]

He’s so comfortable. No teleprompter. So Refreshing!!

[dowcaet]

Christie will be a pit bull AG. Newt will be a fine chief of staff.

[Cboldt]

Justifies the platform plank on the basis of giving religion a voice, a voice that LBJ took away.

Good on him. Next get rid of that "great society" garbage.

[Lakeside Granny]

Going to get rid of the Johnson Amend.

Let religious leaders talk.

Religion will have a voice again.

[exit82]

Relates how Indiana was going to be the firewall, but he won IN.

[sheikdetailfeather]

FOX is also carrying this.

[TomGuy]

There is a sweet irony in Indiana being the supposed firewall for Cruz and now its governor is on the stage with Trump.
