Around 400 police officers from other departments were among those sworn in in Cleveland Saturday ahead of the Republican National Convention, as one of the first protests was held downtown before the possibly contentious event. Marco Rubio in the Mach 1 primary, by the end of the coming week party faithful hope the divisions are behind them so they can concentrate on retaking the White House. Ted Cruz, and one of those still conflicted over Trump. “But what a lot of conservatives are wondering about Trump is if he’s telling us the truth” about embracing conservative principles.
While not endorsing Trump, Dent said he’s not supporting Clinton “under any circumstances”.
MORTON BLACKWELL: There’s always some people who have hurt feelings, disappointed ambitions, who don’t come to a convention.

Originally a Bush supporter, the 15-year congressman campaigned with Trump in Virginia Monday and has endorsed the brash billionaire as someone “who has what it takes to shake up the status quo and entrenched bureaucrats in Washington, D.C”. I mean, you’re going to have his family speaking.

While officially presenting his vice presidential running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, he detoured frequently to hit Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and tout his own business record. Pence, who once described his style as “Rush Limbaugh on decaf”, is expected to offer a calming contrast to Trump but can be hard-hitting when he wants.
Still, a floor fight by anti-Trump forces over convention rules is “for sure”, Graham said, while noting that Arizona rules committee members were solidly backing Trump and noting he thought a successful challenge wasn’t in the cards.
