2016 US Presidential Election - Republicans Formally Nominate Donald Trump for US Presidency

The Republican Party on Tuesday July 19,2016 officially nominated real estate magnate Donald John Trump as presidential candidate for November general elections in the US.

Donald Trump, who joined politics only a year ago and stormed the Republican party defeating as many as 17 top GOP leaders in the process, is expected to deliver his acceptance speech at the convention in Cleveland on Wednesday July 20,2016

"Donald Trump having received the majority of the votes cast has been selected as the Republican Party nominee of the president of the United States," announced Paul Ryan, House of Representatives Speaker and also chair of the Republican National Convention

Donald Trump welcomed Republican nomination as "great honour" and vowed to work hard.
Such a great honour to be the Republican Nominee for President of the United States. I will work hard and never let you down! AMERICA FIRST!
Donald Trump
 
As announced by Ryan, Donald Trump received 1,725 votes, followed by Senator Ted Cruz (475), Ohio Governor John Kasich (120) and Senator Marco Rubio (114)

Donald Trump would face Hillary Clinton of the Democratic Party in the November 08,2016 presidential elections.

Donald Trump, whose election theme is "Make America Great Again" was declared the party's nominee after his son Donald J Trump Jr cast the vote of elected delegates from his home state of New York, that gave him the requisite 1237 votes required to cross the half way mark.

"Congratulations Dad. We love you," screamed the Junior Trump as the giant screen inside the Quicken Loan Arena showed that the billionaire is on top of the delegates


If elected, he would be the first successful businessman without any political experience to become the president of the US.
