Michigan’s delegates at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland have already witnessed plenty this week. Monday brought an ill-fated attempt by anti-Donald Trump elements to open up the convention so he could be denied the presidential nomination. Michigan state Senator Patrick Colbeck, a Ted Cruz delegate, says most Republicans are united around the issues Trump is promoting, but at issue is how he goes about it.

“He’s been doing it by a slash-and-burn approach to party faithful and it’s kind of in violation to Reagan’s 11th commandment when he’s gone off and done that,” Colbeck said.

The 11th Commandment directed Republicans to not speak ill of one another. Colbeck says, for his, the main thing is to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House. 25 delegates from Michigan are bound to support Trump, 17 to Cruz, and 17 to John Kasich.
