Nominees typically hold back during conventions, but Donald Trump appeared at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday for the second night in a row.
On Monday, Trump introduced his wife Melania Trump, and on Tuesday, he was home in New York City, but gave an address that was beamed into the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland less than two hours after he was formally named the Republican nominee for president. "What we did getting the party's nomination is something I'll never, ever forget," he said. "This is a movement, but we have to go all the way." Trump said he is looking forward to Thursday, when he will get onstage and share how he plans to "put the American people first….get rid of ISIS, restore law and order, and so many other things."
