The speechwriter behind Donald Trump’s convention address

Donald Trump is set to deliver his acceptance speech for the Republican nomination Thursday night in Cleveland.

The dark portrait of America that Mr Trump sketched was a compendium of doomsday statistics that fell apart on close scrutiny of the media.

Trump, appeared with his vice presidential running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, the morning after the convention ended, bringing up Cruz as he was thanking staffers and volunteers. He described an exceedingly violent nation, flooded with murders, when in reality, the violent crime rate has been cut in half since the crack cocaine epidemic hit its peak in 1991, according to Reuters.

But Mrs Clinton was dismissive of Mr Trump’s speech tweeting: “We can do better than this”.

The irony of Cruz’s speech Wednesday night remained that just little more than a year ago, Cruz was considered the outsider in the race for the White House.

“We had hoped he would follow through after the pledge”, said Sen. “[And that] is why we need to support Donald Trump and Mike Pence to be the next president and vice president of the United States”. By crossing leaders in Washington, Cruz had successfully portrayed himself to voters back in Texas and across the nation as someone willing to take on the party apparatus when no one else was.

Trump’s wife, Melania Trump, made the biggest strides toward that goal. “I guess in Texas though we support God, family and country in that order”.

It’s quite possible that the Trump forces, knowing that Cruz’s speech would fall short of a full endorsement, whipped up the negative reaction in the hall at the end of Cruz’s speech.

“This is was probably one of the most peaceful, one of the most attractive, one of the most loved-filled conventions in the history of conventions”, Trump said at a hastily called appreciation event for volunteers in Cleveland.

Speaking to “the forgotten men and women of our country”, the people who “work hard but no longer have a voice”, Trump declared: “I am your voice”.

“Nobody knows the system better than me”, he boasted, “which is why I alone can fix it”. “I feel so badly”, he continued. They said, it’s a boring speech, Mr. Trump, nothing good, nothing bad.

“We know what Trump thinks of Clinton with his crooked Hilliary jibes, but the sheer hatred directed by Republicans at the former First Lady is striking in its ferocity”.

Ivanka missed her one chance to date to vote for her father: she had not changed her party registration from Democrat to Republican in time to cast a ballot in the April 19 NY primary election.

“I’m overjoyed to see Donald Trump and most Americans embrace most of the issues that I’ve championed for years”, Duke said in his announcement video.

“America was shocked to its core when our police officers in Dallas were so brutally executed”, Trump said. “Did anybody ever deny that was the father?”

“I’ve been one of his harshest critics, but I really have to admit he delivered absolutely the right speech with the right tone that he had to do for a Republican nominee”, said Dunning, also a member of the State Republican Executive Committee. “I think what he demonstrated was somebody concerned about his chances for 2020 and not somebody concerned about the future of this country”.
