Pence praised Trump as “the people’s choice” who “understands the anxiety and the aspiration of the American people like no leader since Reagan”. “All of a sudden, they said because I delayed it for the tragedy, they said maybe he’s having second thoughts”. Trump called Pence “my partner in this campaign” and his first and best choice to join him on a winning Republican presidential ticket. “Secondly, because Hillary Clinton must never become President of the United States of America”.
“It was the single greatest non-endorsement I’ve ever had”, Trump said. “Now we’re seeing unrest in Turkey”. Pence gave a nod to that by saying “strong Republican leadership can bring about real change”.
