It’s Donald Trump’s Party Now

Exactly 401 days after his much-disparaged ride down an escalator in his Manhattan skyscraper to announce his candidacy, developer-turned-entertainer Donald Trump formally took his spot atop the 2016 Republican ticket.

“Friends, delegates and fellow Americans: I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States,” Trump told thousands of Republican activists packed into Quicken Loans Arena Thursday night.

Trump, who throughout his campaign has ridiculed politicians for reading prepared remarks, nevertheless read his 4,000-word speech off a teleprompter, focusing on crime, illegal immigration, terrorism and international trade.

Trump challenged the Democratic Party to bring it on!

Hillary better be ready to fight in the mud.

One of the many factors that put me in Clintons corner is that she fights from every single angle.

Shit, she has people working to place moles in the Trump campaign.
