Ralph Winnie, an alternate delegate for the state of Hawaii, told Xinhua that Trump needs to get over 90 percent of the Republican vote. The evening speeches this week haven’t been particularly fun to watch, nor have they succeeded in presenting any sort of coherent message about Trump or his agenda. Trump shouted throughout as he read off a teleprompter, showing few flashes of humor or even a smile. “We certainly don’t want Hillary Clinton”.

Democrats, Republicans and global partners warned of the risks of backing away from North Atlantic Treaty Organisation obligations.
