CLEVELAND — Braced for uncertainty and struggling for unity, Republicans opened their convention to nominate Donald Trump for president on Monday as dissident delegates pursued one last chance to deny him and the nation reeled from yet another outburst of violence.
A day after a deadly ambush of police in Louisiana, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus welcomed delegates to the convention hall with a brief acknowledgement of the “troubling times” swirling outside. The chairman called for a moment of silence out of respect for “genuine heroes” in law enforcement.
“Our nation grieves when we see these awful killings,” he said.
Weeks of racial tensions and violence are shadowing the Republicans’ long-awaited showcase of their presidential pick and putting both participants and the convention city on alert.
True to form, Trump himself provided the first curveball of the week, announcing he will make an unexpected swing to the convention hall Monday night to introduce his wife, Melania, on the first night of speeches.
“I want to watch,” Trump said on Fox News. “It is going to be very exciting.”

She must be a nervous wreck. I would be.
Agreed. And she seems to be a very private person.
I guess Hillary can bring out her crooked daughter and her crooked husband too. They won’t compare to the Trumps
This is very revealing of Donald Trump. It shows he is very sensitive to the needs of his wife. He knows this speech takes great courage. He is willing to take the extra effort with his love and encouragement to make her feel better. We know Melania is doing it with the love that only a woman can have for the man of her life. And Donald, likewise, does it for her, the love of his life.
I have said it before. Melania is a woman who could have selected any man in the world as her husband. Anyone! That she selected Donald Trump to be the love of her life says a lot about the human qualities of him. Any woman who has sexist misconceptions about him, had better see the reality of him through the relationship he has with Melania. This is a no-brainer.
What a beautiful first lady she will be, compared to that %%^^^^^&**(*&( piece of #$%^*@$%^&* we have now.
He is the ringmaster, the MC. Of course he is going to be there.

IN fairness to past first ladies, I don't think you want to see them in bathing suits.........
Not funny when it’s about someone as beautiful a Melania.
My bet is she’s gonna knock it out of the park!
