Open discord and revolt broke out on the floor of the Republican National Convention Monday as GOP officials crushed an attempt to change party rules, a maneuver that could have embarrassed presumptive nominee Donald Trump.
In a highly unusual show of disunity and anger on the floor of a modern party convention, a group of states tried to force a state-by-state roll call vote on the rules of the convention. The rebellion apparently caught Trump's campaign team by surprise, and his lieutenants were seen frantically whipping votes on the floor to squelch the effort amid scenes of deepening disarray.
Trump's convention choice: Bring the party together or blow it apart
The dramatic scenes that unfolded around a normally routine procedure in passing the convention rules effectively turned into the last stand of party forces who had opposed the billionaire in the contentious Republican primary. Those holdouts were not trying to deprive Trump of the nomination -- in the knowledge they didn't have the votes.
he mother of a victim of the Benghazi attack told Republicans gathered in Cleveland on Monday that Hillary Clinton "should be in stripes."
"This entire campaign comes down to a single question: If Hillary Clinton can't give us the truth, why should we give her the presidency?" Patricia Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, said to cheers on the opening night of the Republican National Convention.
"That's right," she said. "Hillary for prison. She deserves to be in stripes."
Melania Trump stepped to center stage Monday for the highest-profile speech of her life, offering testimony to the character of her husband Donald Trump.
The former fashion model, who rarely takes a leading role on the campaign trail, was the star attraction on the first night of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
"With all of my heart I know that he will make a great and lasting difference," she said. "He will never give up and he will never, never let you down," she said.
In an unusual move for a nominee, Trump appeared on a stage bathed in smoky light to introduce his wife to the sound of Queen's rock anthem, "We are the Champions."
"We are going to win, we are going to win so big. Thank you very much," Trump said in an uncharacteristically brief appearance in the spotlight.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
"I'm doing just fine, Dana," Christie told CNN's Dana Bash, in the wake of getting passed over as Trump's VP pick.

Pat Smith, mother of Sean Smith, who died in the Benghazi attack
"I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son ... If Hillary Clinton can't give us the truth, why should we give her the presidency? That's right, Hillary for prison. She deserves to be in stripes."

Willie Robertson, star of A&E's "Duck Dynasty"
