A day after accepting the Republican presidential nomination in a speech that signaled a more serious turn heading into the general election, Donald Trump ripped into former primary competitor Ted Cruz, revisiting their ugly feud over Cruz’s wife and father.

Donald Trump is the GOP nominee. No more presumptive. He’s it.
Ivanka missed her one chance to date to vote for her father: she hadn’t changed her party registration from Democrat to Republican in time to cast a ballot in the April 19 NY primary election.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has vowed to improve the nation’s crumbling infrastructure, including cities like Cleveland, and to create jobs. “These are the forgotten men and women of our country, and they are forgotten, but they will not be forgotten long”.
Some attendees at the convention expressed the hope that Trump would align himself with many of their cherished conservative values but admitted they just didn’t know what he would do once he was in office.
“The real message I get from Trump is like, ‘If you’re down, I’m going to keep you down but if you’re up I’m going to look out for you, ‘” said Jefferson.
Foreigners from terror-linked countries would be banned, a wall will be built on the Mexican border and trade deals would be ripped up and renegotiated. He also said that he’d stop companies from sending jobs overseas.
His comments will empower zealots who oppose both legal and illegal immigrants. He said he’d unite the country. To overcome the parade of horribles who appeared at the podium on his behalf, Trump would have had to deliver a speech that was as epic and memorable as, say, a mashup of the Gettysburg Address, Churchill’s “We Shall Fight on the Beaches” speech, and Trump’s own rebuke of Gilbert Gottfried from season seven of “Celebrity Apprentice“.
“The irresponsible rhetoric of our president, who has used the pulpit of the presidency to divide us by race and color, has made America a more unsafe environment”, Trump said. Overall sentiment on her was more positive than negative by a ratio of three to one, according to analytics firm Zoomph. 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”. Trump pledged as president to restore a sense of public safety, strictly curb immigration and save the nation from Clinton’s record of “death, destruction, terrorism and weakness”.
Trump said the administration of President Barack Obama has been weak on crime. “Again I think reaching out to the gay community, and he covered all of them right down to the que”. Trump’s isolationist approach, bombastic rhetoric and ignorance of issues are not things we can be proud to support. (Presumably, Mr Trump’s shoulders are yuge.) “To my sisters Mary Anne and Elizabeth, my brother Robert and my late brother Fred, I will always give you my love”.
Not so for Ivanka, who has taken flak in recent months for standing up for her father, a candidate with a history of making misogynistic statements and whose campaign has been accused of failing to condemn the anti-Semitism of some of its supporters. More important, he gave them good example: Reject expediency, stand for what you believe is right and base your decisions on principles that transcend any one election or candidate. She’s made a lot of mistakes but she pushes on. “Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo”.
Mmm, nationalism. That’s never caused any problems. “Well, I don’t know”, he said.
Still, the speech played to the cheap seats, and by cheap, I mean racist. Along with the delegates, outside agitators-the Ku Klux Klan!
He says no matter what people think of him as a Republican, “If you’re a great believer in the Constitution, you have no choice”.
They would have found little solace in Gingrich’s remarks to the diplomats. I don’t want his endorsement.

Trump answered: “Let’s defeat her instead”.
