Mike Pence just gave a great speech. Although 1 PM on a Tuesday is an odd time for one of the key players to give such a speech.

I didn't know till now that Pence began his career as a Democrat. He expresses cross-party appeal that could bring independents and Democrats to the Trump side.

I like the faith he expresses in the American people to make the right choice, and invoked Reagan, and that time in 1980 when the American people made the right choice. And how in remarkable modesty, Reagan had said in response to a then-young Mike Pence's gratitude, that Reagan said "I don't believe that I did all this, the American people chose to chart a new course, and just chose me as their captain."
