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.”

What’s not to love?
This is no surprise as it’s been reported on Reddit for over 24 hrs. I guess the Post needs to catch up.
When does she speak?
Usually the pres candidate doesn’t go to the convention until the final night. So this would be unusual.
Walk right in the front door Trump.
Screw ‘em ...
Maybe she got the hee bee jee bees and Trump said he’d be with her.
Trump keeps em guessing
It is ingenious of Trump to have his beautiful wife and kids speak at the convention to speak of their life, their dad, their struggles and their hope for America.
It will help the voters bond with Trump and the next First Family.
It’s his show! He has spent 55 million dollars of his own money, he can do whatever he want to do.
First Trump is asked to sign a pledge of support for the nominee. He agrees but others fail to honor the pledge.
Then Trump is told to unite the party. Trump makes peace with Preibus and others, nominates Pence, but NeverTrumpers refuse to allow unity.
Trump never was the problem.
It’s actually an AP article.
For those still looking for that final reason to vote Trump (like any more reason is needed beyond he’s NOT Hillary)...
Hottest First Lady EVAH!
Taking the “not Hillary” logic a step further, the alternative is the impeached corrupt rapist as First Dude.
You make the call.
how DARE trump use his beautiful, vibrant (female) wife in politics! He is only doing this because she has a vagina!
/s :-)
Reagan went to the convention before the final night.
Surprise? It’s been reported for a week.
