Ivanka Trump: “For more than a year, Donald Trump has been the people’s champion, and tonight he’s the people’s nominee. Like many of my fellow Millennials, I do not consider myself categorically Republican or Democrat. More than party affiliation, I vote on based on what I believe is right, for my family and for my country. Sometimes it’s a tough choice. That is not the case this time. … Real change — the kind we have not seen in decades — is only going to come from outside the system. And it’s only going to come from a man who’s spent his entire life doing what others said could not be done.”

Billionaire Silicon Valley entrepreneur Peter Thiel: “I build companies and I support people who are building new things, from social networks to rocket ships. I’m not a politician. But neither is Donald Trump. He is a builder, and it’s time to rebuild America. … Americans get paid less today than 10 years ago. But healthcare and college tuition cost more every year. Meanwhile Wall Street bankers inflate bubbles in everything from government bonds to Hillary Clinton’s speaking fees. Our economy is broken. If you’re watching me right now, you understand this better than any politician in Washington. And you know this isn’t the dream we looked forward to. … When Donald Trump asks us to Make America Great Again, he’s not suggesting a return to the past. He’s running to lead us back to that bright future.”

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus: “To some people — and some presidents — America is just another country. To Republicans, America is the greatest nation on earth. We don’t apologize for America. We celebrate America. At every level, Republicans stand for aspiration and achievement. We stand for peace and prosperity. We stand for freedom and fairness. These values have inspired people the world over, ever since we won our freedom over two centuries ago. … If Hillary Clinton is given the chance, she’ll stack the Supreme Court with activist left-wing judges who will treat the Constitution like a doormat. You can kiss your gun rights goodbye if she ever finds her way into the White House. In foreign policy, a Clinton presidency means forgetting our friends and enabling our enemies. … You all know [Donald Trump has] brought millions of new voters into our Party because he’s listening to Americans who are anxious about a country which has lost its way.”
