		</div><p>The Republican Party has formally nominated Donald Trump for president, completing the billionaire&#8217;s rise from political outsider to major party candidate for the White House.</p>
<p>A day after a disruptive fight over the party&#8217;s rules, there was little drama as delegates to the convention in Cleveland, Ohio, united behind the property mogul and reality TV star.</p>
<p>Mr Trump&#8217;s campaign hoped the formal nomination would end the dissent surging through the party and overshadow the convention&#8217;s chaotic start, including a plagiarism charge involving Melania Trump&#8217;s address on opening night.</p>
<p>Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions opened the nominating process with a hearty endorsement of Mr Trump, declaring him &#8220;a warrior and a winner&#8221;.</p>
<p>There were flurries of dissent on the convention floor as states that Mr Trump did not win recorded their votes, but he far outdistanced his primary rivals.</p>
<p>He was put over the top by his home state of New York.</p>
<p>This week&#8217;s four-day convention is Mr Trump&#8217;s highest-profile opportunity to convince voters that he is better suited for the presidency than Hillary Clinton, who will be officially nominated at next week&#8217;s Democratic gathering.</p>
<p>But the rocky start raises fresh questions about his oversight of his campaign, which gives voters a window into how a candidate might handle the pressures of the presidency.</p>
<p>The plagiarism accusations centre on Monday night&#8217;s speech by Mr Trump&#8217;s wife.</p>
<p>Two passages from her address &#8211; each 30 words or longer &#8211; matched a 2008 Democratic convention address by Michelle Obama nearly word-for-word.</p>
<p>Mr Trump&#8217;s campaign managed only to keep the controversy alive on Day 2 of the convention by insisting there was no evidence of plagiarism, while offering no explanation for how the strikingly similar passages wound up in Mrs Trump&#8217;s address.</p>
<p>The matter dominated news coverage from Cleveland, obscuring Mrs Trump&#8217;s broader effort to show her husband&#8217;s softer side.</p>
<p>Mrs Clinton pounced on the tumult, saying the Republican gathering had so far been &#8220;surreal,&#8221; comparing it to the classic fantasy film Wizard Of Oz.</p>

<p>&#8220;When you pull back the curtain, it was just Donald Trump with nothing to offer to the American people,&#8221; Mrs Clinton said during a speech in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>Top Trump adviser Paul Manafort said the matter had been &#8220;totally blown out of proportion&#8221;.</p>
<p>He told The Associated Press: &#8220;They&#8217;re not even sentences. They&#8217;re literally phrases. I was impressed somebody did their homework to think that that could be possibly done.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although the nomination meant it was Mr Trump&#8217;s night, Mrs Clinton was frequently the focus inside the convention centre, while outside several protests erupted into skirmishes.</p>
<p>New Jersey Governor Chris Christie energised the crowd with a full-throated attack on Mrs Clinton, imploring delegates to shout &#8220;Guilty!&#8221; as he listed numerous accusations of wrongdoing.</p>
<p>Mr Trump addressed the convention briefly in videotaped remarks, thanking them for formally nominating him as the party&#8217;s White House candidate. &#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a movement, but we have to go all the way,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Mr Trump&#8217;s family again took centre stage, underscoring the campaign&#8217;s urgent task to reshape the image of a candidate seen by many voters as harsh and divisive.</p>
<p>Two of Mr Trump&#8217;s children testified to his character, casting him as a man undeterred by challenges.</p>
<p>[quote_box_left]&#8221;For my father, impossible is just the starting point,&#8221; said Donald Trump Jr, the oldest of the Republican nominee&#8217;s five children.[/quote_box_left]</p>

<p>Tiffany Trump, the candidate&#8217;s 22-year-old daughter with ex-wife Marla Maples, sprinkled her remarks with rarely heard anecdotes about her father, including the handwritten notes he left on her childhood report cards.</p>
<p>&#8220;My dad is a natural born encourager, the last person to ever tell you to lower your sights,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>There were no big mistakes on Tuesday, but the event lacked the glitzy, Hollywood touch Mr Trump had promised, with a series of Republican officials parading on stage to level sharp, but repetitive, criticisms of Mrs Clinton.</p>
<p>The evening&#8217;s programme ended on an unusual note, with an actress-turned-avocado farmer delivering the closing speech &#8211; a spot normally reserved for prominent speakers.</p>

Trump has a solid family that rallies around him, whether or not we like his immigration policies, he looks stable and shows he wants to do something good for America.
