You Can Carry Assault Weapons Outside GOP Convention, But Not Toy Guns
New Jersey’s 51 delegates will be seated just off of the center, to the speaker’s right.

Modern conventions are political infomercials, and the four-day gathering here will aim to present Trump as a more substantive and compassionate figure than the bombastic, impulsive showman who vanquished 16 rivals to claim the nomination. “Regardless of our home state and background, we come together as one body to select our nominee for president of the United States”.
Oklahoma delegates say that, if elected, they would expect Trump to surround himself with experts to serve in a new administration.
“The Republican Party passed the most anti-LGBT platform in the party’s 162-year-old history”, Gregory Angelo, president of a longstanding gay Republican group, the Log Cabin Republicans, wrote in a fund-raising email. However, he did say the goal number of additional law enforcement officials wanted for the convention was exceeded.
Bush isn’t the first anti-Trump Republican to suggest that he might vote Libertarian this fall.
Trump chose Pence in part to ease some Republicans’ concerns about Trump’s temperament and lack of political experience.
When they were chosen as delegates months ago, there was still talk of a contested convention and becoming “unbound” after the first three votes, allowing them to vote for anyone.
The decision strikes down Virginia’s ability to fine any delegates that don’t vote with the primary’s results, but it says nothing about whether the Republican Convention delegates will adopt rules mandating delegates adhere to primary results – the biggest challenge in their path.
“We are prepared to arm if necessary”, Herukhuti said. “It took a while, probably, to adjust to that reality”.
“I just completely and utterly reject this notion that (Clinton is) ahead of us”, Borges said.
Renacci said the event could also improve the reputation of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland, which is more than a “rust belt city” as it is sometimes dismissed. Portman at least plans to drop by the convention floor, something Kasich hasn’t committed to doing.
“Rubio was always going to be my first choice because I think he’s the future of the party”, McDowell said.
He said the Republican candidate reaches out to some moderate Democrats and union voters with his opposition to NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement. “I’m looking forward to a very exciting convention”, he said.
“Since previous year, I’ve had a very large number of members of the RNC that have been very encouraging to do it”, Graham said. I respect the process. “I am Republican, and I will not vote for Hillary Clinton”.
The Trump campaign – anxious about efforts to unbind delegates – tied itself to the Republican National Committee and their operations prepared to work together, sources involved told CNN. Barack Obama in 2008 carried the county that includes Cincinnati over Sen.
In the end, that star appearance might not have benefited 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney, but it hasn’t turned Republicans off celebrity turns.
Clinton has been to OH four times since effectively locking up the Democratic nomination.
“The speech that Trump gave today (Saturday) did not seem like he actually wants to share the stage, but knows that he has to in order to succeed with his campaign”, said Republican strategist Ron Bonjean.
Yet, Trump also shows no sign of tailoring his message to Ohio. The scripted pageantry of the convention offers Trump his last, best chance to present a more sober image that could help win over swing voters anxious about his demeanor.
“I do it every day”.
“Everybody’s sentiment now is we’re 100 percent behind the nominee, Donald Trump”, Graham said.
