Trump bashed trade deals, a hallmark of his campaign, citing a loss of manufacturing jobs that may not be a result of those deals. Ted Cruz declared Thursday he’s no “servile puppy dog” as he faced a torrent of GOP criticism over his refusal to endorse Donald Trump on the Republican National Convention stage. Trump’s home state delegation had received a record number of requests, according to a state party representative.

But beyond the Cleveland drama, Trump faces a more hard long-term challenge: fashioning a message that can at once soothe concerns among scores of independent women while still firing up the white men who are angry about the direction of the country.
Trump relentlessly touts his managerial skill, but this week he showed that he can’t even run a decent-size meeting.
“Hillary Clinton is proposing mass amnesty, mass immigration, and mass lawlessness. But most of all, I am proud to be an American”.
“I think the more he talks about that, the better off he’s going to be”, said Walker. “At the end, I was disappointed that Cruz didn’t endorse Donald Trump. He has to build and broaden his base”.
On Twitter, many worldwide observers reacted with shock to Trump’s speech, with some drawing parallels between it and foreign strongmen. How can a man who encourages students to drop out of college wax lyrical about Case Western? Trump had a 1-point lead among white women over Clinton, but must improve his standing – particularly among married women who are 35 to 54 in order to win the election. Trump killed the pledge months ago.
Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort argued that the show of party divisions may actually rally Republicans behind Trump. So, as far as the contract was concerned, he was the one in violation, not anybody else. “He’s got a lot of work to do”.
Mobley said he didn’t think Trump needed to do or say anything different to reach out to Wisconsin Republicans who are not yet onboard with his campaign.
Fresh off his marathon Republican convention acceptance speech, Donald Trump looked backward Friday, rekindling his feud with onetime chief rival Ted Cruz.
The first night’s focus was on Clinton’s failings in the Benghazi attacks, a favorite topic of core conservative voters. On Thursday we spoke to members of the New Jersey delegation after a breakfast that featured Gov. Chris Christie. Revered party figures were few, and Sen. Cruz’s defiance made it impossible to paper over the fact that Trump, on a whole range of issues, simply does not agree with Republican orthodoxy. They take attacks on their family much more seriously than attacks on themselves. “In Donald Trump’s America, the federal government solves every problem, and it’s solved by the decisions of the ‘Maximum Leader'”. They believe Trump’s message on the diminishing safety within the homeland is resonating with women.
And the nation still remains on edge after police shootings in Dallas and Baton Rouge, along with the deaths of young black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. “I’ve got to tell you something else. But with others it may seem frightening”.
Before he formally accepts the Republican presidential nomination, the billionaire will be introduced not by his wife Melania -who has already made waves with her speech at the convention – but by his eldest daughter, Ivanka.
Right now, however, wage equality and affordable child care have not been part of Trump’s pitch to voters, nor is it part of the Republican Party Platform.

“And Cleveland is my hometown, so I’m here to tell it like it is”, the boxing promoter who is known for arranging the 1974 “Rumble in the Jungle” match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman said.
