CLEVELAND — Donald Trump officially became the Republican Party’s nominee for president here Tuesday night, a landmark moment in American political history that made complete the celebrity mogul’s unlikely conquest of the GOP.
But Republicans who gathered for their national convention celebrated Trump’s triumphant milestone not by promoting his personal virtues and policy ideas so much as by leading a three-hour prosecution of Democrat Hillary Clinton.
There were allegations that she had enabled sexual abuse at the hands of her husband. She was accused of having sympathy for Lucifer. There were so many references to her private email server and the 2012 Benghazi attacks that it was hard to keep count.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie led a call-and-response prosecution of her actions as secretary of state, turning the audience into an ad hoc jury: “Guilty or not guilty?”
The crowd interrupted him four times: “Lock her up!” the delegates chanted. “Lock her up!”

The Republican National Convention’s first two nights have been striking for the unusual amount of time spent demonizing Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, as opposed to rounding out the image of the party’s polarizing standard-bearer.
Tuesday evening’s program was choreographed to promote party unity under the banner, “Make America Work Again,” but there were sparse references to economic policies or job growth.
Instead, convention viewers were served a buffet of scattered messages and discordant themes, underscoring the party’s divisions and discomfort with Trump. For instance, overhauling trade deals has been a cornerstone of Trump’s economic agenda, yet there was relatively little mention of his ideas about trade.
Nor were there many mentions of his other signature ideas:building a wall on the southern U.S. border, temporarilybarring foreign-born Muslims from entering the country and deporting undocumented immigrants en masse.
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (Wis.) gave the most substantive and muscular speech about conservatism. But the man who four years ago got a rock-star reception at the GOP convention as Mitt Romney’s vice-presidential running mate was coolly received by Trump delegates in the convention hall.
Ryan, who has uneasily endorsed Trump, spoke mostly about his own agenda for House Republicans. Addressing the turmoil Trump has wrought on the party, Ryan said, “Democracy is a series of choices. We Republicans have made our choice.”
