“We must present those facts to you, a jury of her peers, both in this hall and in living rooms around our nation”, Christie said.

The thing that is now indisputable, in particular after Trey Gowdy’s cross-examination of Jim Comey, the FBI director, the other day – which was more or less what Governor Christie riffed on – were the various lies that Hillary Clinton told federal investigators, told the State Department Inspector General, told the Justice Department, told the American people.
In March, Trump said at a CNN-hosted debate that the USA has “no choice” but to defeat ISIS and said he was “hearing” that as many as 30,000 troops might be necessary to achieve that goal.
While Clinton outraised Trump, she also spent more, burning through $34 million in June compared to Trump’s $7.8 million.
“Are we willing to elect as president someone whose role model acknowledges Lucifer?”
“Theirs is the party that… responds to the death of Americans at Benghazi by asking, What difference does it make?”
Fed up by the noncommittal statements that marked Cruz’s entire speech, the delegation from NY began to chant, “Endorse Trump!” The attacks seem meant to evoke echoes of the 1990s, when President Bill Clinton’s brand was degraded by a scandal that led to his impeachment.
“This is a movement”, he declared. “I’m so proud to be your nominee for president of the United States”.
The final night of the RNC kicks off at 7:20 p.m. from the Quicken Loans Arena.
Clinton’s campaign quickly reacted to Christie’s speech. “It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again”, Hillary Clinton said in response to Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson in January 2013.
Christie also told the group that he asked Trump to immediately change civil service laws.
For three days running the convention’s intended message of the day got sideswiped by unwelcome developments – a biting if short-lived scrap over rules during the opening, a storm over plagiarism in Melania Trump’s speech that spilled into Wednesday, then Cruz’s performance from the stage. At the beginning, he admitted that the road to the GOP nomination here in Cleveland wasn’t an easy one.
“Have we had our arguments this year?” You know what I’ve spent so far?
“Washington grows while the rest of America struggles”.

Veterans advocate Al Baldasaro speaks to defend Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump at Trump Tower in New York City on May 31, 2016. The tallying of the votes was followed by a display of Trump’s two-track persuasion effort: Testimonials vouching for his character – delivered by his family – and searing indictments of Democratic rival Hillary Clinton’s character – delivered by the rest of the party. “Under a Trump administration, America will once again be a beacon of progress and opportunity”, the RNC said in its description of the evening. “For my father, impossible is just the starting point”. Trump, Jr. took the opportunity to get in more anti-Hillary jabs, but mostly spoke about what America really needs. Tiffany is his youngest daughter with Trump’s second wife, actress Marla Maples. Watch her full speech in the video at the end of this article.
