Wisconsin delegates disappointed in Cruz, await Trump

Cruz said Trump never asked him for an endorsement. Trump formally won that title on Tuesday.

The encounter was the talk of the Washington delegation that night at the Middleburg Heights hotel bar where delegates have gathered each night after the convention.

“I approached them and said, ‘Here’s the situation, how do you want to proceed?'” Currier recalled telling the Kasich delegates that day on the floor. “Trump!”. Cruz uttered Trump’s name just once – to congratulate him.

Cox said he was “pleased” to hear the NY delegates shouting from their seats near the stage at the Texas senator.

“The Republican National Convention showed exactly why we must elect Hillary Clinton to the White House and other Democrats up and down the ticket into office”, said Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Martha Laning in a statement.

Palin insisted that Cruz’s refusal to endorse the Republican nominee will end his career.

We deserve leaders who stand for principle. “This is not politics”, Cruz added. Trump also criticized the appearance of Cruz’s wife, Heidi. “I’m probably the biggest Ted Cruz supporter you can find”.

Now it’s up to Trump to try and salvage the convention when he accepts the presidential nomination Thursday night.

Some leading Republicans are rejecting Donald Trump’s suggestion that if he becomes president, the USA may revisit NATO’s policy of defending its allies against possible Russian aggression.

There’s a surprising supporting actor at the Republican National Convention: the teleprompter. In Westchester County, where money-not ideology-determines who clinks glasses at parties, the county executive said he doesn’t doubt Trump’s Republican bonafides-even if he has donated cash to Clinton. He can swallow Trump because, he said, Trump’s clearly a better choice than Hillary Clinton. Wednesday was supposed to be his big night when he accepted the nomination. Ted Cruz and five for Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Paul Manafort told NBC’s “Today” Thursday that Trump invited his primary opponents to address the convention in Cleveland because “he views the primary process as over”.

Pro-Trump delegates were furious with him.

Manafort said that Cruz “understood what the responsibilities are, someone in his position”.

The GOP presidential nominee told ABC’s “Good Morning America” Thursday that he appreciated Meredith McIver’s apology.

In his speech, Trump did not repeat comments made to The New York Times that the United States might abandon its North Atlantic Treaty Organisation military commitments if he were president.

Trump forged his own way at first on Israel as well, calling himself “neutral” on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and suggesting that Israel pay back the aid money it’s received.

Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort had led a chorus the candidate’s surrogates denying Mrs. Trump’s speech contained any plagiarism, despite clear evidence to the contrary. A Trump speechwriter came forward Wednesday to take the blame.

Starr would like to see Kasich run again in 2020, but in the meantime he hopes the vacant Supreme Court seat is reason enough to support Trump in November. “Shoulder-to-shoulder with Donald Trump all across this nation”.

The same goes for the feud with Kasich, who refused to show up at the convention being held in his home state.

“This was a magazine that, frankly, in many respects, should be very respected”, Trump insisted.

Unconditional support for Israel has been the one sacred cow Trump will not slay. The Georgia chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police said it was mulling holding a counter-rally outside of the event in protest of Cruz’s involvement in Crane’s campaign – given the state senator’s past remarks on no-knock warrants.
