Donald Trump Jr. breaks out on national stage

Donald Trump Jr. on Tuesday delivered a powerful testimonial about his father as an everyman who never forgot his roots as a boy from Queens, while launching his own national profile during a high-stakes night.
The eldest son of the Republican nominee showed natural ease and proved to be one of the most potent surrogates yet for a billionaire who touched off a GOP civil war and has yet to unify the party behind him.
“You want to know what kind of president he'll be? Let me tell you how he ran his businesses, and I know because I was there with him by his side on job sites, in conference rooms from the time I could walk,” said Trump Jr., an executive vice president of The Trump Organization, on the second night of the Republican National Convention.
The Manhattan businessman “didn't hide out behind some desk in an executive suite,” he said.
“He spent his career with regular Americans. He hung out with the guys on construction sites, pouring sheet rock and hanging -- pouring concrete and hanging sheet rock,” Trump Jr. remarked, correcting himself after transposing words. “He listened to them and he valued their opinions as much and often more than the guys from Harvard and Wharton, locked away in offices, away from the real work.”
All of Trump’s grown children, with the exception of Eric Trump, attended the University of Pennsylvania, and Donald, his eldest son, and Ivanka Trump all attended Wharton.
But, Trump Jr. insisted, his father has “recognized the talent and the drive that all Americans have.”
“He's promoted people based on their character, their street smarts, and their work ethic, not simply paper credentials,” Trump continued. “To this day, many of the top executives in our company are individuals that started out in positions that were blue collar. But he saw something in them, and he pushed them to succeed. His true gift as a leader is that he sees the potential in people that they don't even see in themselves.”
Other executives might have overlooked such job candidates because their resumes did not “include the names of fancy colleges and degrees.”
“The potential that other executives would overlook because their resumes don't include the names of fancy colleges and degrees. I know he values those workers and those qualities in people because those are the individuals he had my siblings and me work under when we started out,” he said. “That he would trust his own children's formative years to these men and women says all you need to know about Donald Trump.”
Trump continued, “We didn't learn from MBAs We learned from people who had doctorates in common sense.”
Americans, the eldest Trump son also promised, are “going to get” their country “back better than ever before.”
“I know we'll get it back because I know my father. I know that when people tell him it can't be done, that guarantees that he gets it done,” Trump said. “I know that when someone tells him that something is impossible, that's what triggers him into action."
Drawing on the story of his father’s career as a real-estate developer, Trump remarked, “When people told him it was impossible for a boy from Queens to go to Manhattan and take on developers in the big city, rather than give up, he changed the skyline of New York.”
In a speech that went beyond the usual praise of his father, Trump laid out the stakes of the election against Hillary Clinton in stark terms,
From the former secretary of state's preparedness to be president to immigration reform to health care to school choice, the eldest Trump son vowed to "unleash the creative spirit and energy for all Americans."
"We're going to put Americans first -- all Americans," he said. "Not a special class of crony elites at the top of the heap."
Declaring his father a qualified and ready commander in chief, the eldest son of the Manhattan mogul finished on a personal note, referring to him as "my mentor, my best friend, my father, Donald Trump."

Trump's campaign will be revealed as marketing stunt in late 2016, and the GOP will field someone competent in 2020 and probably win.
