Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., warned Thursday night that America is at risk of decline unless it elects Donald Trump as its next president.
“I am asking all of you to join me tonight in electing Donald Trump as president of the United States,” Blackburn said. “Donald Trump has the skills required to lead this nation, a diverse nation. He can help our people achieve greatness. He believes in the American Dream because he has lived the American Dream.”
“The desire for greatness is not new,” Blackburn added. “President Lincoln stood right here, in this very city, 155 years ago, with a call for us to bind together or perish apart. Listen to his words. If all do not join now to save the good ship of the union this voyage, no one will have a chance to pilot her on another.”
“There is someone that can get the job done,” Blackburn added. “There’s someone who can come out ahead of schedule and under budget, who’s read the specs, seen the bottom line, negotiated the cost, and built something to last. A leader who knows that this country is not full of assets to be managed, forgotten or deleted.”

“I want a president who knows that leadership is not as it appears but is as it performs, and sees something through from beginning to completion,” she said. “After all, that’s the magic of this country: That every day people with big ideas and big dreams and the drive to complete them … not only can they change a skyline, they can change the world.”
Blackburn closed in saying that if Trump is elected, America will be more unified and able to achieve greatness once again.
“America is on the edge of great and mighty things. We need a President Donald Trump who understands this,” Blackburn said. “Together, we can get the country building, working, see jobs come back, our communities grow, and see leaders actually lead. Together, with you, and with Trump … we will be great again. We will be one again.”
