“They said to me you didn’t even look nervous”, Pence told the delegation.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was loudly booed by the crowd Wednesday when he refused to endorse his former primary election rival. And if Trump presents himself in some radically different way from what we’ve seen of him up until now – say, as a thoughtful, informed leader who wants to heal divisions between Americans – that’s worthy of discussion, but it’s equally important to note how everything he has done in this campaign contradicts that picture. Team Rubio must be cutting it into a 2020 attack ad as we speak.
As you watch the 2016 Republican National Convention, you’ve probably noticed that Donald Trump’s children have been playing a major role. I need a drink.
Trump promised to be the voice for the “forgotten men and women of our country”, portraying Clinton as a corrupt elitist while arguing he’s the only one who can save the republic from a world he portrayed in apocalyptic terms.
As Trump put the final touches on his speech and did a walk-though of the stage set-up, the Republican nominee took to Twitter to proclaim the convention a success. Three-quarters of voters in the poll said their pick for president is motivated by a desire to cast their ballot against either Clinton or Trump. “I don’t think that view would be prevalent or held by anybody he might make secretary of state or secretary of defense”. “The well-connected in Washington are standing behind Hillary Clinton because Hillary Clinton is one of them”, Walker said.
With that said, I will acknowledge that Trump was strong in the area of law and order and on Hillary’s e-mails. Unclear is whether the gambit will backfire on the Texan by prompting Republicans to blame him for refusing to get in line and help unite the party when it mattered most.
On Monday, the convention’s opening day, a group of anti-Trump delegates that included Cruz backers tried to force a roll call vote on convention rules in a bid to force an “open convention” in which they could vote for any candidate they wanted.
Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination for president on Thursday night as the Republican National Convention concluded in Cleveland. “They want more of the same”. “I have seen him fight for his employees”, she said. But Trump has tried to woo Sanders’ supporters with protectionist positions on worldwide trade and criticism of the influence of Wall Street and corporate lobbyists. Iowa Senator Joni Ernst wasn’t as diffident, but the most she managed was to promise, “Donald Trump is focused on you”. The remarks, in an interview published online Wednesday by The New York Times, deviate from decades of American doctrine and seem to reject the 67-year-old alliance’s bedrock principle of collective defense.
“Decades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher unemployment for our citizens, especially for African Americans and Latino workers”, Trump said.

It’s those independents that Trump’s campaign hopes it can peel off – if it can keep up a steady drumbeat of negativity about Clinton.
