Sharp contrast with the lefts hatefilled efforts to scare americans into voting for the hapless democratic nominee. Donald trump as has divided our country, diminished our greatness. You can achieve your american dream. You can be that shining example to the word. The current president s cloaked american darkness for much too long. Too much anger, too much fear, too much division. The american story was written by people just like you and i who love our country and did this to build a future for our families and neighbors. Were talking about abolishing the police, i. C. E. , prisons. The left wants to defund the mis. This is personal to me the police. I wouldnt be here without the bravery e and heroism of the men and women in Law Enforcement who saved my life. If you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can and they will if we dont make a change in this election. We will be stronger than ever because when we put our mind to it, there is no obstacle that america cant s

Get them back very soon. Thank you very much. Great stories. Hello. My name is maximo alvarez. I live in miami, florida. Not far from the state of florida, which is just a 90mile blue sea from me. It divides the past from the present from the future. I know all about the past. Ill never forget my own. Family has fled totalitarianism and communism more than once. First my dad from spain. Then from cuba. But my family is done running away. By the grace of god, i live the American Dream, the greatest blessing i ever had. My dad only had a six grade education told me, dont lose this place. Im speaking to you today is not y family abandoning what we rightfully earned. Theres no place to earn. Im speaking to you today because President Trump may not always be politically correct. Hes in fact, a successful businessman. Not your average career politician. Our president is just another family man, a friend, and most important, our elected commander in chief who puts america first. Keep in mind
This evening, nikki haley, jim jordan, steve scalise, and senator tim scott. Here is that session. A country where were judged by our character with dignity an respect for all. Belief that all are created equal, that lives matter irrespective of race, creed, or color. Committed to excelling beyond our dreams. Limited only by our imaginations where rugged individualism and american exceptionalism inspired the best in each of us. And when we see injustice to one, we act to fix it for all. This is our story. We journey together. We stand in the breach to preserve a way of life that while imperfect, has brought prosperity, honor, and dignity to generations past and will for generations to come. Four years ago, we faced a historic crossroad. Career politicians promising change every election. But delivering emptiness. We chose a different path. A man who was not a politician. A man who cares. A man who loves america. And all americans. A man who works works tirelessly for you. Even tonight
