Guilty or not guilty – that’s what Christie is asking his audience for a verdict about Clinton on her leadership on the Islamic State group, China, and an al-Qaida-linked group in Nigeria. The roll call unfolded largely according to plan after a day dominated by unwelcome attention over passages from an eight-year-old Michelle Obama speech that made their way into Melania Trump’s address to the convention, nearly word for word, the night before. Trump himself never seems short of words to talk about how great he is.

Mukasey did not mention Trump in a brief speech, but six months ago in an anti-Trump edition of the conservative National Review, Mukasey wrote “a Donald Trump presidency would imperil our national security”.
Based on these reports, we rate Christie’s statement as true. This is a red meat crowd. Speaking off script, he accused Hillary Clinton of serving Lucifer. Ted Cruz, the man Trump used to call “Lyin’ Ted”. Trump, Clinton said, wanted to “tear up Dodd-Frank and let Wall Street run wild again”.
“Guilty!” the gleeful crowd of delegates cheered.
While it was Trump’s night, Clinton was frequently the focus.
Duke Lowrie, a Louisiana delegate, acknowledged that Trump isn’t exactly ideal.
Fournier continued that the Clinton campaign has to try to make Trump seem worse, which he now is seen as. We can not promote someone to Commander-in-Chief who has made the world a more violent and unsafe place with every bad judgment she has made.
Many Republican leaders stayed away from the convention, still wary of being associated with the divisive candidate and unsure how his nomination impacts their own political futures. And in this case, what are the warts made of?
“Bizarre”, said the Democratic operative on CNN. “Our candidate, he has the warts of being a real person who is not scripted, he is not a professional politician”. “But when you pull back the curtain, it was just Donald Trump with nothing to offer to the American people”. In recent days he has been delivering a message to the party that no vote for Trump is a yes vote for Clinton.
“You’re going to hear about three aspects of my career – presidential candidate, governor, US attorney”, Christie told PIX11 News about his speech.
