The Trump campaign set "Make America Safe Again" as the theme of the Republican convention's first night well before the attack that killed three police officers and wounded three others in Baton Rouge. But that attack, and the earlier shooting in Dallas that killed five officers, added weight and a new emphasis to Trump's promise to protect Americans.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence made his introduction to many Americans this weekend as Donald Trump's running mate, but he previously gained renown as a social and fiscal conservative whose policy positions have at times drawn him into national debates. The 57-year-old Republican, formally named Mr. Trump's pick for vice-presidential candidate on Saturday, served 12 years in Congress before becoming Indiana's governor in 2013.

As I watched Donald Trump "introduce" Mike Pence - and by that I mean talk about himself for 30 minutes - I just kept thinking: Why did the Indiana Governor agree to this? So, why then? Why put yourself so close to someone who has shown little regard for the party he will lead in a matter of days and even less regard for any politician not named "Donald Trump"? Pence returned to his home state to run for governor in 2012 with a clear eye on it being a more effective launching pad for his national ambitions than a congressional seat - even one in which Pence was part of the GOP leadership. But his return to Indiana didn't exactly go according to plan.
