Republican Convention

To avoid working the Republican National Convention when it comes to Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2020, some police officers are reportedly considering retiring early.

Ted Cruz’s non-endorsement speech not only drew Bronx cheers from Cleveland convention delegates who chanted “endorse Trump” throughout, but also is raising questions about whether it’s curtains for his political future – including a 2020 presidential run.

Everyone agrees the Texas firebrand’s speech at the RNC was a dramatic break from politics as usual. But will it ultimately hurt his prestige or raise his stock?

Marco Rubio, who exchanged nasty barbs with Donald Trump during the GOP primaries, urged voters in his speech to delegates at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland to vote for the real estate mogul.

So far there have been none. By night’s end there will be have been three. Call it Hispanic Night at the Republican National Convention.

State Sen. Ralph Alvarado is an unlikely primetime speaker at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night, joining U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz as the only Latinos to speak at the GOP convention.

Throughout his speech, which ended with him leaving the stage to boos and chants of “Trump,” Cruz sidestepped any other reference to Trump and barely touched on the candidate’s policies – and came far from endorsing his candidacy.  

Jesse Gonzales says he’s not brandishing an assault rifle in one of the city’s most crowded spots in order to cause a problem, but simply to exercise his rights under Ohio law and the Constitution.

To chants of “No Paper, No Fear” and “Undocumented, Unafraid,” about 200 demonstrators made their way from Cleveland’s Public Square to the entrance of the Quicken Loans Arena, where they fanned out to create a banner wall stretching the length of two city blocks and adorned with the slogan “Wall of Trump.”

For about six months leading up to the RNC, the Latino Coalition, one of the nation’s leading Hispanic conservative advocacy groups, has attempted to meet with Trump – without success.
