Donald Trump accepts Republican nomination Updated

The former GOP chief tried holding back from blasting Cruz but then blurted out: “I sort of think it’ll backfire on him”.

“There will be a lot of cameras on our section tonight”.

“We don’t want them in our country”, he said.

“I was actually a Kasich supporter at first and switched over because we have to band together to beat Hillary”.

“I have no interest in helping continue this controversy”, he said.

The GOP presidential nominee paused for almost a minute while waiting for police to remove her. Trump concluded his speech with the promise he has made the slogan of his campaign: “We will make America great again”.

The most unifying aspect of the convention has been savage assaults on Clinton, portraying her as a criminal and a liar who should be jailed, with cries of “lock her up, lock her up”. For all of the complaints about Cruz’s behavior, there must also be criticism of the Trump team for allowing this to happen.

As the last speaker in a four-day marathon of events in Cleveland, Trump has his biggest chance yet to try to end the bickering among various factions of the Republican Party and foster a spirit of unity.

Ted Cruz refused to endorse Trump when he appeared on stage, leading to members of the audience attempting to attack his wife, Heidi Cruz, who was sitting in crowd.

Illegal immigrants, Trump said, “are being released by the tens of thousands into our communities”, where he said they were straining resources, taking jobs away from American citizens and in some cases, committing crimes.

After ascending the stage to the theme from the action film Air Force One, Trump said he “humbly and gratefully” accepted the Republican nomination to the presidency.

Hillary Clinton on Friday said Sen.

Cruz stuck to his non-endorsement Thursday, reminding a meeting of the Texas delegation that Trump has criticized his wife’s looks and all but accused his father of participating in a plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy. “It was surreal” and shows the divisions within the party.

In a rarely used teleprompter speech, Trump covered issues including law and order, national security, immigration, trade, tax-cut and the threat of terrorism.

She continued, “I’ve never heard of an American leader, or at least somebody who wants to be an American leader, claiming that he’s all we need”.

“Now more than ever, we must put all our support behind Hillary Clinton”, Stephanie Schriock, president of Emily’s List, a super PAC that supports female candidates.

“Don’t let anyone tell you that America is second rate, especially somebody running for president”, George H.W. Bush said at the 1992 Republican National Convention in Houston.

In an interview with the New York Times yesterday, Trump said the collective defense of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation should only be activated if the targeted countries have paid their contribution to the Alliance.
