Just three hours after the four-day convention?kicked off in Cleveland, anti-Donald Trump delegates and those supporting the presumptive Republican?nominee shouted at each other on the floor of the Quicken Loans Arena.

A delegate from Virginia wore a neon-colored?baseball hat that read, “Vote no on rules.”?Those who support the real estate mogul?said, “We want Trump!”
The delegates?opposing Trump’s?nomination had gathered signatures and demanded a state-by-state roll call vote on allowing delegates to cast ballots freely on their choice?for president, rather than having to fall in line behind Trump.
