Vice Presidential nominee Mike Pence made waves with a
rousing primetime acceptance speech which also highlighted the success he
brought to his state through strong, conservative leadership.
NBC News reports: Indiana Gov. Mike Pence introduced
himself and offered the first taste of the pitch he'll make with Donald Trump
in a broad convention speech that hit all the necessary marks.
"On issue by issue — he and I will take our case to
the voters, pointing out the failures of the Obama-Clinton agenda and showing a
better way. We will win the hearts and minds of the American people with an
agenda for a stronger and more prosperous America," Pence said after
accepting the party's vice presidential nomination.
Pence also sought to reframe some of Trump's most
controversial qualities as assets for the Republican party, offering a
favorable contrast to Hillary Clinton, who he dubbed the "secretary of the
status quo."
"At the very
moment when America is crying out for something new and different, the other
party has answered with a stale agenda and the most predictable of names,"
he said, adding the Democratic Party had nominated "someone who represents
everything this country is tired of."
Governor Pence’s successful record in Indiana applying
pro-growth conservative principles shows what a “smart decision” Donald Trump made
picking him to be his running mate.
The Wall Street Journal editorializes: [T]he
Daniels-Pence agenda turned around a state that was struggling and has made it
a fiscal and pro-growth model. The reforms focused on raising incomes by making
the state more hospitable to capital investment and trying to improve the
education and skills of all Hoosiers. In choosing Mr. Pence as his running
mate, Mr. Trump made the smart decision to associate himself with that record.
The Indiana policies and performance that Mr. Pence touted Wednesday night are
ones the rest of the country could emulate—starting with Washington, D.C.
The Indianapolis Star reports: Democrats have answered
Americans' call for something new with a stale agenda and the most predictable
of names, Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence told an enthusiastic
Republican National Convention hall Wednesday. "Hillary Clinton wants a
better title and I would too if I was already America's Secretary of the Status Quo," Pence said. "It’s
change versus the status quo."
Donald Trump will formally accept the Republican
nomination for president on the final day of the GOP Convention, which is
closing with a message of party and national unity: ‘Make America One Again.’
FOX8 in Cleveland reports: It is Day 4 of the Republican
National Convention in Cleveland, and the CLE is preparing to bid farewell to
the convention. Today’s theme is “Make America One Again.” But first….today, and
especially tonight, will be GOP nominee Donald Trump’s night. He’ll deliver a
speech that’ll be closely watched both inside the arena and on television
everywhere. Introducing Trump will be perhaps his most effective surrogate and
supporter, his daughter, Ivanka Trump … It’s also the night where those 150,000
balloons will drop from the ceiling of The Q!
