CLEVELAND, Wisconsin -- Republicans from Wisconsin are playing a prominent role in this year's Republican National Convention.

Ahead of his speech at the Republican National Convention Tuesday night, July 19th, House Speaker Paul Ryan offered a preview to the Wisconsin delegation Monday morning, saying the country's problems are fixable.

"So many people turn on the TV and just see people yelling at each other, all this acrimony, all this anxiety. What we are trying to do is say, there`s a better way," Ryan said.

His 15 minutes on stage included no talk of Donald Trump.

Badger State delegates are still split on Trump. Some, like Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald were early supporters.

"I think that Wisconsinites will get there and I think he will do better than most people think he`ll do as we stand here today," Fitzgerald said.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said he still wants to hear specific plans from Trump, but said Trump could have his support by the end of the convention, which runs through Thursday, July 21st.

"It just can`t be empty rhetoric. It has to be very specific ideas, and that`s what we`re going to hear this week," Vos said.

These lawmakers weren't the only Wisconsinites in Cleveland on the first day of the RNC.

A couple dozen from the pro-immigrant group Voces de la Frontera joined a large protest in downtown Cleveland. A Milwaukee family whose parents immigrated from Mexico said Trump stands against her family.

"We`re not going anywhere, and they can`t just throw us out like it`s just their land," Sofia Flores said.

Governor Scott Walker wasn't at the breakfast Monday morning -- choosing to address the Iowa Republican delegation instead. Walker provided some insight into his political future Monday -- saying he won't run for president again as a sitting governor. That means if he runs and wins a third term in 2018, he wouldn't run for president in 2020.
