GOP vice presidential candidate Mike Pence, Indiana’s governor, took the stage to deliver a speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday in Cleveland.

Melania, she said, had read her several passages of Obama’s 2008 speech to the Democratic convention over the phone and she mistakenly inserted them into the speech, she admitted in a statement. Cruz ended his convention speech without endorsing Mr. Trump. McIver said she wrote down the passages and later included them in the speech.
Newly minted Republican nominee Donald Trump landed by helicopter in Cleveland yesterday to greet ecstatic supporters as he focused on the need to unite a Republican party and heal crippling divisions.
The New York real estate mogul’s campaign has made it particularly challenging to follow the money because of the “unprecedented” coziness Trump has displayed between his business and his campaign, Noble said. “I think it’s fair to say that, if you want to stack up the ethical record of President Obama and his political appointees against the ethical record compiled by governor Christie and his political appointees, that we’d welcome that kind of comparison”, he joked to reporters, adding that both parties had often “burrowed” their own appointees. Make no mistake, we can’t wait four more years and get ’em next time. They said that hard-core Trump voters will cast their ballots based on their views on the top of the ticket, rather than the vice presidential candidates.
For two days, the Trump campaign tried to brush aside any talk of plagiarism, calling the criticism absurd.
Gov. Mike Pence accepted the Republican Party’s vice presidential nomination, and may have handed the White House to Hillary Clinton. I did not check Mrs. Obama’s speeches.
Donald Trump, as no one can forget was one of the loudest and most prominent person pushing the nonsense that Barack Obama was not born in the United States, professing to have sent investigators to Hawaii who “cannot believe what they’re finding”.
“In working with Melanie Trump on her recent First Lady speech, we discussed many people who inspired her and messages we wanted to share with the American people”. “Donald Trump will secure our borders”.
He later doubled down on that point: “Look, I just quoted Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony – she said something similar too, so did Mrs. Obama plagiarize her?” This was my mistake, and I feel bad for the chaos I have caused Melania and Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama.
Pence was nominated by acclamation, and a long line of speakers took turns ripping Clinton, sometime to shouts of “lock her up”.
“If Trump used corporate resources to write a political speech, that could be illegal”, Philip Bump reports. No harm was meant.

“I will always stand up to bullies and bigots like Mike Pence and Donald Trump because this country – and the people who have been bullied and pushed around for far too long – simply can not afford these backward policies and divisive rhetoric”, Malloy said last week. Trump said on Twitter.
