Donald Trump paints dark portrait of damaged nation only he can save
“I will work with, and appoint, the best prosecutors and law enforcement officials in the country to get the job done”, Trump said.

Conjuring up a dark, risky time and presenting himself as an uncompromising strongman against terrorism and illegal immigration, Donald Trump promised to restore “law and order” during his presidential nomination acceptance speech Thursday night that also played to his outsider appeal.
Two days after the Texas senator refused to endorse Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention, the GOP nominee told a crowd that he didn’t want it, anyway. Ted Cruz, who declined to endorse Trump in his Wednesday night convention speech.
But Trump, as if to drive the point home, said it not once, but twice.
“I didn’t start anything with the wife”, Trump said, eliciting a loud gasp from one reporter at the back of the hotel ballroom. The crowd broke into the signature chant of the convention: “Lock her up!”
For those hoping Trump’s nomination will improve the party’s reputation among gay rights proponents, there’s another challenge: Mainstream gay rights groups have denounced Trump, arguing that tolerance for one minority group doesn’t excuse prejudice toward others – like Hispanics and Muslims – or unflattering comments about women.
The convention had been marred not only by Cruz’s speech – which drew loud boos – and a brief anti-Trump revolt but by apparent plagiarism in a speech by Trump’s wife, Melania. “The irresponsible rhetoric of our President, who has used the pulpit of the presidency to divide us by race and color, has made America a more unsafe”.

Trump repeatedly stepped on his own messaging, for example phoning in to Fox News just as the mother of an American killed during the attack in Benghazi, Libya, was speaking powerfully onstage.
“The only choice is a Trump-Pence Republican ticket”.
“This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction, terrorism and weakness…My plan is the exact opposite of the radical and unsafe immigration policy of Hillary Clinton”, he said.
On the economy, Trump called for renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement and said he would block new pacts if they are bad for US workers.
In recent months, the 34-year- old has operated as something of the superego of the evolving Trump campaign, gingerly influencing and promoting her father’s ambitions, while avoiding becoming ensnared in his controversies.
He said: “I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people that cannot defend themselves”.

As Trump wrapped up his convention, Clinton was closing in on her selection of a running mate.
The billionaire businessman said nothing has affected him more than the time he spent with mothers and fathers “who have lost their children to violence spilling over the border”, NBC News said. You know, I let him speak.

Fleischer said that by conventional standards, he’d grade the convention a C-plus or B-minus, but this isn’t a conventional campaign. “I think you will see next week that the polls will show that the convention was successful”.
