Sandy Tennant from Day 2 of the 2016 National Republican Convention in Cleveland.
BY SANDY TENNANT
Tuesday was an unbelievable day in Cleveland beginning with breakfast with the Illinois delegation followed by a Scott Brown event where we got in the middle of a Black Lives Matter demonstration. There appeared to be hundreds of demonstrators and almost as many police.
It’s been a very interesting day: A lot of great things happened and Donald Trump was overwhelmingly endorsed. It’s a unified Republican Party now. The speeches last night were riveting. Chris Christie I think stole the show and rocked the whole place. It was great to hear (Ultimate Fighting Championship President) Dana White and his family talk about Donald Trump as a human being. I think the more people learn about all the great things he’s done to help other people – black, white and Hispanic; everybody – they’re going to learn that he’s a decent man.
We were in the convention center when Donald Trump’s son spoke continuing a theme throughout the day of speaking about Donald personally, including Dana White and Chris Christie.
It’s clear that people on the campaign staff were trying to have people see Donald Trump as someone who really cares about people. There was case after case given today with personal testimonies about how Donald Trump has helped them and will help our country. So it was a great day. A lot of things were going on, and he is the nominee of the party.
