Republican Convention: Live Coverage Of The Final Night

A quick search of convention speeches going back to Reagan suggests that, at least among Republicans, mentioning who has endorsed you is not standard in a nomination speech.

While Trump has stayed close to script, he’s gone off sometimes. He just applauded for himself for at least the third time this evening and joined the crowd in chants of “U.S.A.” for at least the second time.

At this point I’ve written this so many times that it hardly seems worth it, but the wall would do nothing to stop the many undocumented immigrants — 40 percent, by one estimate — who enter the country legally and then overstay their visas. (In fairness, Trump did later mention this in passing.) And as I noted earlier, net immigration has been roughly zero in recent years.
