Some pictures from 5 years ago today at the RNC-- an excerpt below from #TheBriefing, get a copy to read more about the #bts stories from that eventful convention: 

The 2016 convention had its occasional, minor breakdowns, and it had the Never Trumpers who tried to derail it, but overall it ran like a well-oiled machine—thanks in large measure to the steady hands of the staff and volunteers of the Committee on Arrangements and convention veterans like Steve King, Jeff Larson, Bill Harris, Sara Armstrong, Mike Miller, Kirsten Kukowski, Phil Alongi, and John Zito.
With the delegate fight behind us, we thought the drama was over. But that would not be the case. Enter Ted Cruz. The Texas senator had been asked to speak, but no one knew what he was going to say. There were many assumptions but no agreements about the content of his address. The two candidates had sparred during the primary season, and this was an opportunity to turn a corner. At the event, he gave a speech that went on...while we waited for him to endorse Donald Trump...and went on...while we waited for the endorsement...and approached the conclusion without an endorsement of the nominee.
... 
As Cruz continued to go on and on, and it became obvious that he wasn’t going to say those magic words, Trump did what Trump does. He changed the narrative."
