From Bloomberg contributor Adam Tiouririne: Trump's four "law and order" references are the first time this phrase has made an appearance in an acceptance speech since the 1968 conventions, when then-Vice President Richard Nixon and Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey faced off in the midst of nationwide protests over the Vietnam War.
Trump is set to use 1.43 "we" words for every "me" word in his prepared remarks. This is an important ratio to keep in mind, because in nine of 10 elections since 1976 the nominee who notched a higher "we"-per-“me”-word score in his convention speech went on to win the White House. (The exception was 1988.) While we can't yet compare this number to Hillary Clinton's speech, Trump's "we"-per-"me" ratio looks like it will be higher than seven of the last ten Republican convention acceptance speeches—but not Ronald Reagan's—and higher than President Barack Obama's 2008 address.
