Delegates erupted in competing chants in a televised dispute Republican leaders had hoped to avoid. “These are the values Donald and I would bring to the White House”. “This is surreal”, said Utah Sen.

The voice votes occurred even though earlier in the afternoon, dissident delegates submitted petitions from a majority of delegates from what they said were at least nine states – seemingly sufficient to force a roll call vote under party rules.
Queen also tweeted they were unhappy about Trump’s use of the song on Tuesday: “An unauthorised use at the Republican Convention against our wishes”.
The theme was “Make America Safe Again” from a self-described law and order candidate. Because as journalist Jarrett Hill noticed, Melania Trump’s speech at the 2016 Republican convention suggested that she was guided by the same values that guided Michelle and Barack Obama – basically verbatim. He turned this state around and united Ohioans.
The deadly truck attack in France and the ambush killings of five police officers this month in Dallas and three more in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, over the weekend heightened fears of bloodshed. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus welcomed delegates with a brief acknowledgement of the “troubling times” swirling outside. “Our nation grieves when we see these terrible killings”, he said.
The meeting opens just days after an attacker killed 84 people during Bastille Day celebrations in France. “Trump ran on an anti-establishment platform but he’s not putting his money where his mouth is”.
“There’s no cribbing of Michelle Obama’s speech”, Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, said Tuesday morning in a CNN interview. “There are laws against that sort of thing”, he said. She reads this speech, and she goes overseas and brings things up about we would not know about Donald Trump. Clinton was expected to be a frequent target of the eclectic group of lawmakers, military service members and entertainers headlining opening night of the convention.
That left Trump with an eclectic array of validators, including Scott Baio and Willie Robertson, star of “Duck Dynasty“, who took the stage with an American flag bandanna wrapped around his head.
Such concerns might lead voters to choose Trump over Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in November, he said. They include former presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, and the party’s two most recent presidential nominees, John McCain and Mitt Romney.
The Republican National Convention erupted in chaos on Monday when some opponents of presumptive United States presidential nominee Donald Trump stormed out of the room and chanted in protest at their failure to win a symbolic vote opposing his candidacy.

“Now we take this fight to the floor”, Dane Waters, a leader of the Delegates Unbound, said in the email.
