Why Republican women say they’re rallying behind Melania Trump
Cleveland – Donald Trump told the Republican National Convention on Tuesday that he would win the White House in November, saying he was “so proud” to be their nominee for USA president. Here are some of the night’s top moments that you might have missed. The article criticized Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, as a “new liberal”.
“It is my honor to be able to throw Donald Trump over the top in the delegate count tonight”, he said.
“Congratulations, Dad, we love you”, he said.
A wealthy NY real estate developer and a reality TV celebrity, the 70-year-old Trump was a long shot when he entered the race for the Republican nomination more than a year ago, having never held elected office. Kasich has not endorsed Trump and the OH governor has refused to attend the convention in his home state.
Washington, D.C.’s delegation tried to award 10 votes to U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich to Trump, including all 19 from the District of Columbia. All of its votes went to Trump.
It was one of the occasional flurries of dissent on the convention floor, including jeers as states that Trump did not win recorded their votes during the nominating roll call vote. In an interview with CNN, Republican National Convention chief strategist Sean Spicer said, “Melania Trump said, ‘The strength of your dreams and willingness to work for them.’ Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony said, ‘This is your dream”.
Sessions rallied the delegates inside Quicken Loans Arena, saying Trump is the candidate best suited to solve the nation’s problems both foreign and domestic. He was proud to be the Republican nominee, he said.
Themed “Make America First Again”, the day’s speakers will make the case that United States’ leadership role in the world has slipped under Obama and could be restored by Trump.
Christie, who is governor of New Jersey and leads Trump’s White House transition team, told dozens of donors the campaign was drawing up a list of federal government employees to fire if Trump defeats Clinton.
“To think that she would be cribbing Michelle Obama’s words is insane”, Paul Manafort said on CNN. “She never fights for us”. But the weeklong gathering pales in comparison to the scope of a president’s responsibilities as head of the USA government.
Manafort also acknowledged the fierce opposition to Hillary Clinton that arose from the convention floor Tuesday, as delegates chanted “Lock her up!” and cheered speakers who labeled her a liar. “I don’t believe for a minute that Melania and Donald were sitting around going, “Hey, let’s plagiarize Michelle Obama’s speech”. Thirteen months after launching an improbable bid for the White House, Donald Trump captured the 2016 Republican presidential nomination yesterday, having vanquished 16 party rivals, warred with much of its establishment and provoked controversy at every turn.
Donald Trump brought momentum back to his campaign on Tuesday, clinching the nomination for president at the Republican National Convention after a day dominated by lingering questions about Melania Trump’s speech.
He was put over the top by his home state of NY. “That’s how he approaches business projects”.
“Donald is, and always has been, an wonderful leader”, said the 46-year-old.
“We didn’t learn from MBAs”, the son said. “We learned from people who had doctorates in common sense”.
“Who cares? It was her speech”.
One thing Trump didn’t mention: the plagiarism controversy over his wife Melania Trump, who delivered a speech Monday night that has passages that bears strong similarities to an address given by Michelle Obama in 2008. NBC News reported that the original draft of the speech did not include the disputed section.
Trump simply said he and his wife had an “unbelievable evening” on Monday.
Asked about a report that Cruz will not endorse Trump during his Wednesday speech, Manafort said he’s confident that Cruz will focus on criticizing Clinton and the administration of Democratic President Barack Obama.
