She continued, “I’ve never heard of an American leader, or at least somebody who wants to be an American leader, claiming that he’s all we need”. “This one is totally unique and different”.

“It has been very entertaining and eye-opening to see how the process works”, agreed Chris Yaudas, a first-time delegate who lives just south of Joplin.
Those two delegates came in – and will leave – with different perspectives on the fall election. He brought up that controversial meme he retweeted, comparing his wife Melania Trump’s looks to Heidi Cruz’s.
Ted Cruz faced a volatile crowd as chants of “Endorse Trump” rang out during his remarks at the Republican National Convention. “There’s no choice whatsoever”.
Trump, who gave Cruz the moniker “Lyin’ Ted” throughout his campaign, dragged Cruz’s family members into the primary spotlight several times over the last months the Texas senator remained in the race.
“We must make the most of our moment…to fight for freedom to protect our god given rights, even of those with whom we don’t agree”, Cruz said over the booing, so that when we are old and grey “we will be able to say freedom matters and I was part of something lovely”. “I will immediately suspend immigration from countries that have been comprised by terrorism until proven vetting mechanisms have been put in place”, he said.
John Kasich – under intense heat for refusing to endorse his party’s nominee or even appear at the convention in his home state – today vowed to continue to “stand on principle”, as the final day of a roller-coaster RNC got under way.
For all their rage last night, Cruz’s detractors – and there are many – probably weren’t surprised either. They gave me his speech.
The delegates responded with angry boos, and Cruz backer and former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli escorted Heidi Cruz off the convention floor as she was heckled by Trump delegates.
“Everyone who did attend, in his own way, said they support the ticket or were voting for the ticket or endorse the ticket”.
But she is still not on board the “Trump train”.
Joking that some Democrats would find a way to forgive President Barack Obama for anything, even if he shot their wife, kids, and dog, Redditt went on to say: “It’s as if Trump did go into Ted Cruz’s house and shoot his wife”. “I met him once”, Trump said.

Cruz has strong support in Wisconsin: He won the state’s primary by 13 points and garnered endorsements from Walker and other high-profile Republicans.
