Australian Ambassador to the U.S. Joe Hockey and former Cleveland Brown Bernie Kosar, also, never mentioned Trump by name, talking broadly instead about the values of the United States, or, in Kosar’s case, talking about Ohio. “He could very easily do some kind of executive order or something – I don’t care if it’s constitutional or not at this point”, Loomis told CNN.
It is Trump’s moment – a week that few could have imagined when the NY billionaire entered the race a year ago. The lineup of speakers would be aimed at showing off “Trump the man”, his advisers said.
Melania Trump, the candidate’s wife, will also deliver a speech during prime time programming.
Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King, who has not yet endorsed Trump, said Ryan’s approach is problematic. It would also highlight Trump’s contentious candidacy. The Republican National Lawyers Association bills McGahn as an expected attendee at its Monday afternoon event at the offices of Baker & Hostetler, which that firm is sponsoring.

Mike Deighan, a 28-year-old restaurant employee in the downtown area, seemed to be enjoying the fanfare near the Quicken Loans Arena as he purchased a hat from one of several pop-up stands that were selling shirts disparaging Trump and Clinton. That group includes former Republican president (George W. Bush) and presidential nominees, Mitt Romney and John McCain.

Leaders and staff from the Republican National Committee and Trump campaign have not taken their foot off the gas since the Rules Committee late Thursday night voted several times to preserve rules binding delegates to state primary results – all but assuring the nomination for Trump.
Some rebellious delegates threatened to walk out if they are thwarted. Ted Cruz, the GOP primary runner-up to Trump, who has yet to endorse the nominee-to-be.
Asked about their difference of opinion about the war during their first joint interview on “60 Minutes”, Trump was dismissive.
“It’s not a movement,”Manafort said”. “It’s some rogue, recalcitrant delegates”.
While Trump is not scheduled to speak until the final night of the convention, organizers said that he may frequently appear.

Federal US law permits the open carrying of firearms, but some states including California, New York, Washington and Florida have state-imposed restrictions or outright prohibitions in place.
On Monday, he quickly linked the shooter to “radical Islam”, despite early indications the man had no known ties to any extremist group. The city also has drawn unwanted national attention because of high-profile police shootings and use-of-force incidents that helped lead to an agreement with the U.S. Justice Department to reform the 1,500-member police department.
Trump has promised to add some “showbiz” to what he says is the usual boring convention formula.
