Newly crowned Republican nominee Donald Trump thanked volunteers and staff members Friday for “an wonderful convention” and proclaimed party unity – even as he continued to bash rival Ted Cruz and re-litigated their primary disputes of the spring.

Trump’s past statements on women in the workplace have included calling pregnancy “an inconvenience” and telling a voter in New Hampshire a year ago that women will receive the same pay as men “if they do as good a job”.
In officially accepting the Republican nomination for President, Donald Trump vowed to put “America first” and put forward a credo of “Americanism, not globalism”. “He has said that there’s things he needs help with from the American people. and if you don’t get behind him he can’t be what he can be”.
“First of all he’s going to win, and then he’s going to bring back jobs, make smart trade, ensure that our borders are secure and build that wall”.
Election opponent Hillary Clinton and other Democrats are to blame for numerous nation’s ills, Trump said, and “the problems we face now – poverty and violence at home, war and destruction overseas – will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them in the first place”.
The US is facing multiple threats to its security that only Donald Trump can confront and repel, he is expected to say as he accepts the Republican presidential nomination. “Last night at the Republican convention Mike Pence looked at the mess of American politics and said, ‘I have faith that God can still heal our country.’ That’s true hope”.
He was just repeating what he’d read in a very reliable publication, the National Enquirer, Trump insisted Friday: “This was a magazine that, frankly, in many respects, should be very respected”. That attacks on police and terrorism threaten the American way of life. He then proclaimed that “I am your voice” to the American people. Mrs. Trump’s address was otherwise distinct from the speech that Mrs. Obama gave when her husband was being nominated for president.
“At the very beginning, we didn’t expect American disgust with Washington and Wall Street to have such a powerful impact on the USA general election”, Jin Canrong, deputy director of the Center of American Studies at the Renmin University of China, told the paper.
On Thursday night, the NY businessman formally became the Republican presidential nominee.
Cruz did not back down from his non-endorsement Thursday, telling his home-state delegation he won’t vote for Clinton, but making no promise to endorse Trump.
“I have a message for all of you”, he said in the open passage of a speech that ran for roughly an hour. A man in charge of fundraising surveyed attendees in the modestly sized conference room and declared, “I think I see about $600,000 in here”. But she said she understands that he rarely talks about social issues.
Trump went on to dispute, lengthily, Cruz’s claims that the businessman insulted his wife and suggested that his father had something to do with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The speech, and the Republican convention overall, made only perfunctory efforts to appeal to voters who weren’t already aboard the Trump train.

While Mr. Trump is far from a flawless candidate, conservatives like Mr. Cruz will have a seat at the table in his administration.
