Trump officially introduces Mike Pence as running mate

“My support of Donald Trump is support of the Republican Party and the ideals and beliefs that Republicans do a better job in running the country than the Democratic Party”, said delegate John Roberts, 37, of Oklahoma City. Chapin Rose of Mahomet, who was elected in the March primary as a delegate for U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz – who was one of the last rivals standing after a lengthy, raucous and crowded GOP primary battle – will get 27 votes.

“Look, he’s all we’ve got now, ” Hartmann told WVXU.

The convention will host 2,470 delegates and 2,302 alternate delegates, including a trio from Dutchess County. “After that, they move on to the other things in life”. 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”.

“My expectations are very short”, Peelen said. Neither candidacy generated the electricity of Trump’s campaign, he said. “He laid out every trade deal we had and what was wrong with them”, Rankin said. “We’ve got to stop the nearly innumerable wars that we’re fighting”.

“There is more uncertainty on the Republican side than I’ve seen in any convention in my lifetime simply because of the unique nature of their nominee, the divides within the party over the nominee and just the turbulence that often surrounds Donald Trump”, said Christopher Borick, professor of political science and director of the Institute of Public Opinion at Muhlenberg College in Allentown. Byler said he hopes Cuccinelli will help bring the party together in Cleveland.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich (KAY’-sihk) says he doesn’t have authority to suspend the state’s law allowing people to openly carry guns.

Brandishing his running mate’s job-creating credentials, Trump ticked through a list of statistics he said showed how Pence had pulled IN out of economic recessions: an unemployment rate that fell to less than 5 percent on his watch, an uptick IN the labor force and a decrease IN IN residents on unemployment insurance. Now he’s looking for the party’s various factions to unite behind Trump. Spokeswoman Katrina Valdes said since the congressman isn’t a delegate, he won’t go.

He’s not going to Cleveland this year, but believes the threat of surprises or even chaos on the convention floor to have been quashed.

Borick said he’ll be attending some events in Philadelphia but not going to Cleveland.

But she hasn’t agreed with Trump on some big policy issues, such as a restrictions on Muslims immigrating to the United States.

Authorities said three police officers were shot and killed Sunday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where the slaying of a black man by white police officers this month led to protests nationwide and heightened concerns about the state of race relations in America. “This is the land of the free, the home of the courageous. So we are a melting pot of cultures”, she said.

Delegates from California have started to arrive in Cleveland in preparation for the four-day Republican National Convention that will take place Sunday through Thursday. He said there’s growing unity among conservatives to support Trump.

“The establishment is never going to be wholeheartedly behind Mr. Trump”, Stewart said. But she said she and her allies, citing a belief that they already have a right to vote their conscience, will oppose Trump’s nomination in the gathering’s roll call next week. “I think the whole world will be watching this convention”.

“I think it’s somewhat ridiculous”.

The other three are the state party chairwoman, Pam Pollard, and national committee members Steve Fair and Carolyn McLarty.

The Republican National Convention is scheduled for July 18 through July 21 in Cleveland. Fredericks will broadcast from 6 a.m.to noon live, locally on WHKT-AM 1650.

U.S. Rep. Mario-Diaz Balart, who initially supported Jeb Bush and who represents eastern Collier County, won’t be there either.

But there are still delegates who would rather not see Trump at all.
