good evening, everyone. i'm jim rosenfield reporting live once again from the quicken loans arena in cleveland, ohio. big night tonight for the republicans and donald trump. this is the night he speaks to the american people and accepts his party's nomination for president, and the campaign is hoping that speech will be what people remember and not the controversies we've seen this week. republican nominee donald trump made another brief appearance at the rnc arena last night as the latest convention controversy was unfolding on the stage. trump's entrance to his vip box stole the spotlight from the end of the speech by former rival ted cruz who was booed off the podium when he didn't endorse trump. >> stand and speak and vote your conscience. vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom. >> reporter: trump seemed to take the snub in stride later

tweeting, wow, ted cruz got booed off the stage. >> i think he did not respect the invitation. he understood what the responsibilities are of somebody in his position and he didn't meet them. >> reporter: this morning the texas senator told the texas delegation that he's not in the habit of supporting people who attack his family. cruz had pledged to support the nominee but that was before trump tweeted an unflattering photo of his wife and suggested his father had ties to the jfk assassination. >> that pledge was not a blanket commitment that if you slander and attack heidi, that i'm going to nonetheless come like a servile puppy dog and say thank you very much for maligning my wife and my father. >> it overshadowed the acceptance speech of indiana governor mike pence who took the opportunity to introduce himself to the nation. >> i'm a christian, a

conservative, and a republican in that order. >> 24 hours later people are still talking about ted cruz and the impact on this convention, the impact on the republican party. my colleague lauren mayk is joining me now right up here in our broadcast booth, and i know you've been speaking with members of the pennsylvania delegation about what cruz did last night and what they felt about that. what did they say? >> jim, things have calmed down a bit from last night, but i'll tell you there are still some emotions about this. take a look again at what we saw on the floor last night when ted cruz was speaking. boos and shouting from delegates who wanted to hear a full endorsement of donald trump. today i asked delegates how they feel about what happened. the first person you're going to hear from, the woman was a ted cruz supporter during the primary. are you disappointed in him? >> i thought he made a calculated mistake.

>> he turned into lying ted again the last 10% of the thing. it was amazing he wouldn't come up and show graciousness. >> i think when those boos occurred, it wasn't about disunity. it felt unity of people booing him. this is the team now. be part of the team. help us get and advance the ball. >> you know, and this issue actually came up during that pennsylvania delegation breakfast this morning sort of during the program, and you could just feel and hear the temperature in the room going up. one man said that both ted cruz and john kasich, the ohio governor who is not here at the convention, that both men were not honorable. >> one appearing and making a big splash and one not setting foot in this convention center. lauren mayk, thanks so much. another man making big remarks about ted cruz's speech and the impact on this convention is new jersey governor chris christie. he met today with the new jersey

delegation over breakfast. christie took questions and talked about everything from cruz to vice president pence. one delegate asked the governor if he thinks new jersey will be in play in november. >> i know donald thinks we're in play. he talks to me about it all the time. he feels a real connection to the state because of the business enterprises he has here now and has had before. >> so chris christie appearing before that breakfast delegation. that's a time, by the way, when a lot of these high-profile candidates and high-profile members of the party get to mingle with the delegations, really get to spend some one-on-one time with the delegates outside of the convention floor. it's an interesting time for our cameras to be there as well. with that, we'll send it back to you in philadelphia for now and we'll be here for more coverage coming up at 6:00. >> all right, jim. we'll see you then.

investments in education are a bit fuzzy. fact check urs found in raw dollars, pence is right. but when adjusted for inflation, there were larger investments in both 2010 and 2011. still, education spending is on the rise under pence's leadership. so politifact gave that claim also a half true. we'll be talking a lot more about about pence and donald trump in the week ahead. in the meantime, stay tuned for "nbc nightly news" tonight and for our special on nbc and the coverage of donald trump's acceptance speech. coming up at 5:30, we'll head back live to cleveland where nbc 10's jim rosenfield is previewing donald trump's headlining rnc speech tonight. now, your nbc 10 first alert weather. >> well, it's going to get a lot hotter than it is today. today is a little hotter than yesterday. plenty of sunshine helping to warm things up in new jersey. nice and clear outside.
