Resigned to Trump, half of S.C. delegation to attend GOP convention

If the idea of Tim Tebow speaking in support of Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention blew your mind on Thursday, you’re not alone.

Though a proud Republican and supporter of the party, Webb was initially shocked at Trump’s rise, and seemed to be hesitant with him becoming the party’s nominee. He commented roughly 12 hours after Donald Trump’s campaign announced his status as a convention speaker.

Morrill said the country was founded on the rule of the law, but she feels something has changed in America.

Some of the GOP’s biggest names were not on the list because they refused to participate in four-day convention, which begins on Monday. “People are frustrated, people are angry, people are not using good direction right now, but I think we will be OK in Cleveland”.

Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal, caused a stir in May when he revealed that he financed several lawsuits, including the one brought by Hulk Hogan, against Gawker. Either way, without Tebow and Trump’s buddy Tom Brady, quarterbacks won’t be by the boisterous politician’s side.

Dana White, president of Ultimate Fighting Championship – a professional mixed martial arts organization – will also be speaking at the convention on the second night alongside Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, a vice presidential candidate; Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky; Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

But he could be destined for the prime time speaking slot reserved for Trump’s prospective vice president. Ted Cruz. Conservative convention delegates allied with Cuccinelli have proposed “unbinding” delegates so they would not have to back the candidates they were committed to by state primaries and caucuses. They also said they expect Kansas Republicans to be united by their strong antipathy for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in a state the GOP nominee has carried in every election since 1964.

Two finalists in Trump’s search for a running mate made the list as well: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Newt Gingrich. The list was obtained by The Associated Press and other media outlets.

Meanwhile, Trump said on Twitter that he will be making the announcement of his Vice Presidential pick on Friday at 11am in Manhattan.

Therefore, in this very moment, the businessman is dealing with a minority of delegates who don’t want him as a nominee. It will be interesting. “I said there is no way that you’re going to take this celebrity and just, no way, but the people spoke”.
