A regular speaker at the event, the feisty Mrs. Palin made it clear she has no patience for Republicans who have said they will sit out the election rather than vote for the real-estate mogul.

GOP Chairman Steve House – who once received death threats from Trump supporters – introduced him.
Morse said his candidate of choice was Rand Paul, but Trump “won fair and square, and so I support him”.
Still, he said, he believes Trump has the best interests of the country in mind. “And then, all of a sudden, I didn’t get the delegates!”. It took place 17 days before the start of the Republican National Convention.
