Ted Cruz, R-Texas, after he didn’t endorse presidential nominee Donald Trump during his speech Wednesday at the Republican National Convention.

“But that’s OK”, Trump added.
“I will present the facts plainly and honestly”. He received big cheers as he declared, “We can not afford to be so politically correct anymore”. His nominating event has been consumed by a plagiarism charge, unusually harsh criticism of Clinton, and Texas Sen.
When Texas Senator Ted Cruz walked onto the convention stage at prime time Wednesday, Team Trump had some hope that a unifying endorsement might be in the offing.
The convention has been focused on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton rather than any conservative principle.
“I am certain that it was a decision that President Obama truly regrets”. She was even more direct in interviews outside the ballroom.
On the final day of Cruz’s campaign in May, he charged Trump with being “a pathological liar”, “a narcissist” and “utterly immoral”, the Guardian reported.
“I have made billions of dollars in business making deals – now I’m going to make our country rich again”, he said.
Some Americans oppose Trump’s rise, lambasting his controversial campaign statements, which have included calling Mexican immigrants rapists and drug dealers whom he would deport if elected president. We will be a country of generosity and warmth.
As the crowd chanted: “Lock her up” for her handling of USA foreign policy, Trump waved them off and said: “Let’s defeat her in November”. Now he seems equally fine to be loathed by Trump and his supporters. “And more than 3,600 have been killed in the Chicago area since he took office”. And then they said there may not be unity.
In typical Trump fashion, he cast himself as the only one who could solve America’s problems. It reads: “‘I’m With Her.’ I choose to recite a different pledge”, he said.
Mocking the pro-Clinton slogan – “I’m With Her” – Trump told delegates: “I’m with you, the American people: I am your voice”.
Later, he said: “I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people that cannot defend themselves”. So they gave it. They came to me.
But the Republican party rank-and-file lapped it up, rising to its feet in standing ovation after standing ovation and displaying none of the divisions that have plagued the 4-day convention.
He had been introduced by his eldest daughter Ivanka, who spoke about his work with women and minorities in a bid to reach out to groups Mr Trump has struggled to win over.
“At my father’s companies, there are more female than male executives”.
She said he was really compassionate and generous. They also cited Republican infighting over Trump, including the refusal of many high-profile Republicans to endorse the party’s new standard-bearer. Trump asked after the pause, drawing another roar from the crowd.
“We have terrorists coming over our border, infiltrating our communities, and causing massive destruction and mayhem”. Chants of “Build a wall!” broke out after Trump claimed that enormous numbers of people in the country illegally “are tonight roaming free to threaten peaceful citizens”.
Speakers lined up to denounce Clinton for the deaths of their loved ones and for putting national security at risk.

“That is why Hillary Clinton’s message is that things will never change”. Well, I have one word for all this hypocrisy and corruption.
