People gather at Settlers Park to rally for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on the first day of the Republican National Convention on July 18, 2016, in Cleveland, Ohio. Trump has far more than the 1,237 delegates required to win.

Trump has sought to position himself as the law-and-order candidate in an echo of Richard Nixon’s successful presidential campaign of 1968.
The evening’s schedule also features survivors of the attack on the US diplomatic mission in Benghazi as well as immigration activists whose relatives were killed by immigrants living in the United States illegally. Seven would be necessary to force the roll-call vote.
No matter. Trump’s lineup of speakers includes plenty of family members, veterans, business people, entertainers and a smattering of top-drawer Republicans, including House Speaker Paul Ryan and even bitter rival Ted Cruz.
