Emmer: “Republicans are the only hope for a return to prosperity.”
Republicans Tom Emmer addressed the delegates with a firey speech and literally ended with some pyrotechnics.
Speaking before a large Emmer hockey jersey on the stage, Emmer told the delegates that "now is the time for a new style of leadership" and called for redesigning government.
Throughout his speech, Emmer stressed sticking to core constitutional principles and mocked critics who called the Republican Party the "party of no."
"There's no shame in saying 'No' to bad ideas," Emmer said.
