Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump concluded his speech to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, by promising to be the American peoples’ champion in the White House.

Melania Trump’s debut in the political big league Monday was a speech full of earnest warmth, except the words weren’t entirely hers.
It transpired that Trump’s third wife, an ex-model, had included sections from a speech given by First Lady Michelle Obama in 2008.
Ted Cruz gets booed off stage. “I think that looking at his children and how great they all are and how much they all love their father tells you a lot about the man as a parent”, Kiernan said. Ted Cruz, a contender for the nomination who was bested by Trump, failed to endorse the candidate in his prime-time speech.
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.
Donald Trump’s spirited, hour-long address to the Republican National Convention was heavy on law and order, from the crimes of illegal immigrants to terrorism.
He still regularly boasts about his victories on the campaign trail and occasional falls back into mocking his vanquished rivals. “I didn’t do anything”.
Trump raised questions about the story at the time.
Trump formally accepted the party’s presidential nomination, saying “I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States”. So have comments he’s made throughout the campaign, like alluding to Fox anchor Megyn Kelly’s period, or his admission that he’d date his daughter if they weren’t related.
Trump defended himself during his remarks against charges that he had peddled a conspiracy theory linking Cruz’s father to the assassination, insisting that he did not himself claim and direct association. He defended the credibility of the National Enquirer.
“When a secretary of state illegally stores her emails on a private server, deletes 33,000 of them so the authorities can’t see her crime, puts our country at risk, lies about it in every different form and faces no effect, I know that corruption has reached a level like never before in our country”. “So far, I think he’s done a good job and over the next four months I think you’ll see the party coalesce”, said Makan Delrahim, a California delegate.
He will also criticise her willingness to bring in thousands of refugees from the Syrian civil war.
“They sent out the first picture. Please remember that”, Trump responded on Friday during the news conference. Jackson is one who argues that Trump’s high profile means he doesn’t need to spend the same amount of money as Clinton in order to be competitive. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told CNN that he “totally” disagrees with Trump’s suggestion that USA support could be conditional.
Cruz, in May, had denied that his father was in the photo.
Some members of Congress, such as South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford, are also unlikely to endorse Trump. “And resentment but no solutions about anything that he even talked about”, she said. I like her better “and Avery Atkinson agreed, tweeting: “Can ivanka run for president?”
Mr Trump’s 75-minute speech was created to set the tone for the general election campaign against Hillary Clinton, an answer to Republicans who say the best way he can unify the divided party is to detail why she should not be elected on 8 November.

Sandford explained his personal dilemma this way: “You know if you’ve spent your life working on debt, deficit and government spending, and you have someone who says we’re not going to touch entitlements, you don’t know how quite how you get there”.
