The "NewsHour" caught up with a few of them before the convention started.

查尔斯·赫勒维格：我是北卡罗来纳州共和党中央委员会的成员。能做的我都做了，挨家挨户上门，打电话，帮助候选人。

CHRISTINE ONG COTHRUN: I think that that's one thing that this president has done for so many people out there is, he didn't need to get involved, but he did. And, as a result, so many of us have realized the need within ourselves to do the same.

克里斯汀·翁·科斯伦：我认为这是这位总统为这么多人所做的一件事，他不需要介入，但他确实做到了。因此，我们中的许多人已经意识到我们自己也需要做同样的事情。

理查德·琼斯：我想，我之所以被选中，是因为我是一个非常坦率的人，而且我非常支持总统。

CHARLES HELLWIG: I was also a delegate in 2016 at the national convention in Cleveland. I joke sometimes -- I have been to one Grateful Dead concert of my life. I wasn't a Deadhead. I wanted to go one time for the experience. Glad I did it. Wouldn't go again.

查尔斯·赫勒维格：2016年，我也是克利夫兰全国代表大会的代表。我有时会开玩笑--我一生中曾去过一次感恩而死乐队的演唱会。我不是那种光吃饭不干事的人。我只想去体验一次。很高兴我做到了。不会再去了。

理查德·琼斯：我从来没有参加过大会。我在电视上见过他们，所以我要错过这次经历。但随着疫情的蔓延，我们别无选择。从来没有经历过这些。所以，一切都会不同。

CHRISTINE ONG COTHRUN: So the thing that I'm most looking forward to is getting this president reelected. We at this point have to replace, I would say, electability with electricity.

CHARLES HELLWIG: You can say what you want about President Trump and his tweets, but it's fun to hear the man talk in person, and the room gets fired up. And we have had great speakers live who would have gotten everybody fired up. I think he will do a good job, even in the virtual setting.

查尔斯·赫勒维格：关于特朗普总统和他的推文，你可以说出你对此的看法，但是听他本人讲话非常有趣，整个会场的气氛热火朝天。我们的演讲者都很棒，他们会让每个人都兴奋起来。即使是线上直播，我也认为他会把工作做得很好。
