Ted has been organizing his small army of idiots that don't support the will of the people or the republican party.
He is supposed to speak tomorrow and it is reported he will lay out his platform for his party. He is only there to disrupt the convention.
A Civil Start to Protests, but Cleveland Is Bracing for Worse
Republican Convention: Floor Fighting on Day 1
By JEREMY W. PETERS and ALAN RAPPEPORTJULY 18, 2016
CLEVELAND — Here’s what’s happening at the Republican National Convention, and scroll through our best photos.
A faction of delegates tried to stage a last-ditch revolt against Donald Trump.
The convention floor momentarily turned into a scene discord and boisterous dissent on Monday. Those who were opposing Donald J. Trump broke into booming jeers and chants of “Roll call vote! Roll call vote!” in an attempt to demand a vote by all 2,472 delegates on a procedural motion that is required before the convention can formally get underway.

Their hope was that by starting a lengthy process so late in the day — just a few hours before the convention’s prime-time programming was set to begin — they could embarrass Mr. Trump by delaying the convention’s opening speakers.
Delegates who opposed them appeared to have the advantage. And they responded with their own noisy shouts of “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!”
But after several minutes of confusion, and a couple of musical interludes by the band to kill time, the anti-Trump delegates appeared to have been stymied.
When the chairman called for a voice vote on whether to have a roll-call vote, he ruled that the “no” votes prevailed.
Initially there appeared to be at least nine states that agreed to the roll-call vote, meeting the threshold of seven required under party rules. But faced with the possibility of a runaway start to the convention, the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee staffers working the floor went into overdrive to get delegates to withdraw their support.
In the end, only six states consented. And the crowd broke into chants of “We want Trump!”
Leaders of the rebellion conceded defeat. “It’s disappointing,” said Ken Cuccinelli, a delegate from Virginia who was coordinating the effort. “There’s nowhere to appeal.”
