The second day of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland was held under the slogan: “Get America back to efficiency.” Paul Ryan, Chris Christie, Ben Carson, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, as well as Trump's children: son and daughter, addressed the delegates.

Trump is the only Republican candidate

Billionaire Donald Trump has been approved as the Republican Party's candidate for the US presidency. This was the result of a roll call vote from state party delegations, which was a roll call. It went “smoothly” and was predictable. The only complaint came from Alaska representatives. It was that they cast 12 votes for Cruz, 11 for Trump and 5 for Rubio, but they were recorded as 28 votes for Trump.

As a result, after counting votes from all states and territories, Trump received the support of 1725 ​​convention delegates. The billionaire's former rivals, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Ohio Governor John Kasich and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, received 475, 120 and 114 votes, respectively.

Kids in support of Papa Trump

It's no secret that a number of prominent Republicans are not in a hurry to line up and support Trump in Cleveland. However, the billionaire can count on their children, and on Tuesday evening they led quite convincing arguments.

First, Tiffany Trump, the billionaire's daughter with his second wife Marla Maple, spoke at the convention and spoke about her father's soft side, who helps his children "find their own path and their own gifts."

Then Donald Trump Jr., picking up a convenient moment, spoke out against Hillary Clinton, saying that she would be the first White House visitor who could not pass the test.

Trump Jr. claims that by electing his father, "...we will make America great again - more than ever before."

In the end, it was an effective way to personalize and soften Trump's image through relatives who know him better than ordinary Americans.

All against clinton

Speakers at the congress attacked Clinton, presenting her participation in the elections as an attempt to continue, in their opinion, the failed policy of President Barack Obama. Speakers called her a liar who put the country in danger due to her use of a personal email server.

House Speaker Paul Ryan accused Democrats of sowing discord among people and "pitting one group of people against another."

“We live in a time when men and women of both parties are clearly and unequivocally demanding a major change in the direction of America, a clear departure from a bankrupt system,” Ryan said. – What does the top of the Democratic Party offer? What is their idea of ​​a clear departure? They are proposing a third Obama term to be carried out by another Clinton."

Headquarters Clinton showed marked activity throughout the evening, issuing statements and tweets in response to the speeches of each major speaker.

“Despite repeated attacks on Trump's divisive rhetoric and dangerous policies, Speaker Paul Ryan chose politics over country and fully supported Donald Trump and his candidacy for President,” one statement said.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who was also running, turned his convention speech into something of a public trial of Clinton, leading the audience to chants of "guilty."

“Hillary Clinton was much more concerned about protecting her own secrets than protecting American secrets,” Christie said.

Christie’s criticism mainly concerned Clinton’s work as Secretary of State during Obama’s first term. The governor blamed her for mistakes in Libya, Syria, Russia, Iran and Cuba, пишет "Voice of America".

“We cannot make commander in chief a man who has made the world a more violent and dangerous place,” Christie said.

After Donald Trump was officially approved by the Republican presidential candidate, delegates to the Cleveland Congress will hear out the most influential party officials on Wednesday who will try to convince voters that he is a better choice for the country than Democrat Hillary Clinton.
