Full text: Donald Trump 2016 RNC draft speech transcript [Speech Live Thread]
politico ^ | 7/21/16 | POLITICO Staff

Posted on 07/21/2016 4:27:18 PM PDT by 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.

“What is the point of releasing it?”

so that the MSM can critique it in real time?

“Tonight, I want every American whose demands for immigration security have been denied – and every politician who has denied them – to listen very closely to the words I am about to say.
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.”

Good stuff!

I know, really, why did they not maintain the suspense?????

Oh, well, I think draft speeches are often pre-released to media types with an “embargo” against public discussion or release until the actual event. Maybe some media type(s) have violated such an embargo.

LAW AND ORDER baby!

The first words out of the mouths of the Mainstream Media will be what they said to similar words from Richard Nixon in 1970:

"'Law and order' is just code words for racism."
