"action news" anchor jim gardner and sarah bloomquist are live in cleveland ohio for us tonight. jim let's start for you inside convention hall. >> reporter: thk monica. let's set the stage this way. the delegates are now out having dinner spending their money the way the city of cleveland wants them to so there is a break in the action but about 4 o'clock there was plenty of action on the convention floor >> roll call vote. >> reporter: first day dustup a couple of hours ago when the anti-trump movement made a last gasp effort to bring a vote to the convention floor, a vote to change the rules and let delegates vote for any candidate not just the candidate who won the primary in their state. when the chair called a voice vote to approve those rules of the convention including the binding of delegates, the anti

trump forces erupted in protest. >> the whole thing lasted for about 10 to 15 minutes and it appears that the anyone but trump movement has officially breathed its last breath. now, while this convention was getting under way, anti-and pro-trump demonstrations were going on within a half mile of each other. among the anti-trump protestors, black lives matter. and police report that some of the trump protestors were carrying guns and showing them. as we have been telling you ohio is an open carry state. there was no trouble with these protests this afternoon. at a pennsylvania -- the pennsylvania delegation has front row seats on the convention floor and the delegation is also getting top flight speakers. this is what happened this morning. the pennsylvania delegations breakfast this morning was an overflow crowd because one of the biggest names at this convention was the featured

guest. house speaker paul ryan will also serve as chairman of the rnc and his presence this morning was another demonstration of how important pennsylvania is to the gop. everyone here is convinced that pennsylvania is absolutely in play and in fact, it has become a key ingredient a trump winning strategy. but political observers are well familiar with what has been paul ryan's discomfort with much of trump's rhetoric during this campaign. and this morning he mentioned trump's name only twice and both times to make this point. >> look, i know this is a tough primary, this is a tough election. this is a it is trump or clinton. that's your choice. we've sloane we've got the guts. we're shown we're willing to put our necks out on the line. many delegates in the room this morning seem much more emphatic in their support of

donald trump. >> young people just swearing by trump. it's like a, uh -- sort of reminds you of the days of reagan in 1980. >> this is my eighth convention, jim, and i can tell you the energy here is palpable. the people are so enthused. they're so excited. they want to get out and get going. it's really remarkable. >> i think the most important issue that's facing urban america is jobs. he's been a builder in his life and i think he will be able to bring that kind of energy to what we need to eradicate some of the ills in our society. >> repr: back to paul ryan. he did have emphatic praise for a member of the national ticket. >> this is a man out of the conservative movement. this is a man who really does know his principles. this is a man who has the courage of his convictions. >> reporter: the speaker was referring to his former house

>> reporter: the they agree the convention will be good for their city. the people of cleveland are less sure if donald trump will be good for the nation. >> i like people who can show their opinions. i just think he could be a little more articulate and caring in the way that he presents himself. >> i said some friends if trump becomes president i'll probable have to move to canada but i can't 'cause i can't get my social security.
