N. Texas Republicans Head To GOP Convention in Cleveland
“Nothing Donald Trump could do at the Republican National Convention will change the simple fact that America has never had a candidate less qualified and temperamentally unfit for the presidency than him”, said Iowa Democratic Party Chairwoman Andy McGuire.
Ohio Republicans starting with Gov. John Kasich (KAY’-sik) aren’t putting out the welcome mat for Donald Trump at the GOP convention in Cleveland.
Members of New Mexico’s delegation to the GOP convention reacted to Donald Trump’s announcement today of his vice presidential running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
It’s a big four-day event, and there is potential for disagreement – inside as well as outside. Some Republicans complain that Trump could be ahead if he were to make a more specialized effort in the state. He presence on the ticket will reassure conservative Republicans who have voiced suspicions that Mr Trump is not really one of them.
Flint says among them were 30,000 people who had never voted in a primary before, and he credits Trump with attracting them.
“If you had some mass confusion, even if you had a civilian who was carrying who would attempt to help out, I think the mentality of any law enforcement officer would see an individual with a gun, would see an individual possibly shoot and would react to that”, Kazy said. “It took a while, probably, to adjust to that reality”.
“Trump will get his way in the end”, Pitney said. Only if Trump does not reach the minimum number of 1,237 delegates, a second vote would happen.
Donald Trump dodged a bullet and Sen.
Since I will be “in the arena” at the convention, I will have an enviable position from which to observe and report the various goings on that perhaps aren’t obvious to television viewers.
“I don’t foresee any problem – I’ve been at six other conventions, and I don’t recall there being any problems”, he said. “The voters have spoken, and you have to take into account the will of the voters”.
The “acceptance speech is critical”, Simpson said. “We started out with 17 (candidates) a year ago. Whether I agree with it or not is another issue”. I respect the process.
Tom Rath, a New Hampshire delegate and longtime adviser to GOP campaigns, called Pence a “solid pick” who “should be reassuring to a lot of people in the party”. This is disorganized somewhat because Trump did not run a classic campaign in modern America. Barack Obama in 2008 carried the county that includes Cincinnati over Sen. But he must win some places where 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney lost, and he has pointed to the upper Midwest, where his tough talk on trade resonates with some blue-collar workers. Hillary Clinton’s email scandal had apparently hurt her, and both candidates had record-breaking unfavorables in Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania.
Iowa Republicans are ready to rock “n” roll in Cleveland.
He noted that Trump drew an enthusiastic, overflow crowd in a visit this month to the northern Cincinnati suburb of Sharonville, and he said Trump has cross-over appeal that can augment the Republican vote. “I am still thinking this will be somewhat formulaic, with Trump securing the nomination on the first ballot”.
