Donald Trump warned Wednesday that riots would break out if the GOP tries to deny him the Republican Partys nomination.
I think well win before getting to the convention. And if were 20 votes short or if were 100 short and were at 1,100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400 I dont think you can say that we dont get it automatically, he told CNN.
I think youd have riots, he added. Im representing many, many millions of people, in many cases first-time voters.
I wouldnt lead it, but I think bad things would happen, the tycoon noted.
The really big story is how many people are voting in these primaries, he said. If you just disenfranchise these people, I think you would have problems like youve never seen before.
Trump mentioned a hypothetical scenario in which hed go to the Cleveland convention in July with about 1,000 delegates and a rival would show up with 500.
He said he believes hell capture the nomination before the convention and said he couldnt imagine failing to get the partys nod virtually automatically in such a scenario.

I agree. Your post was much clearer than mine. In the future I will defer to you to write down what I was thinking. :-) Agree with that post 100%
We have involved the grandsons in political conversations for several years and they have heard Cornyn and Pete Olson, our Rep, speak several times. Fifteen-year-old commented after the last speech by Cornyn that he really thought Texas could do better and that if he were voting he would not vote for either him or Olson.
Have long battled with the issue of what kind of country we are leaving to our grandchildren. Of course the one we have now is all they have known, unlike someone my age. Our family vote which included the grandsons was that we would only vote for Trump or Cruz.
They will not riot in the liberals standard but that will be one very angry republican mob of both Trump and Cruz voters if the GOPe takes it from the base and chooses a rino.
Time for Trump and Cruz to band together and make a deal.

OK. I’ll let you know when I sense you having another original thought, Friend! LOL
Have a great day!
OK, Mr. all things Free Republic.
Start packing for Cleveland.
Bring your pitchforks.
That will make the screechy, Muslim-loving, feminist felon from Chicago the new King/Queen in a landslide. America will be finished as a country except as a place for the parasites, criminals, and Muslims to pick over.
Man I suck today. I am an engineer. I will stop posting as I can’t even add correctly.
To quote "The Clash"....White Riot....I wanna riot....White Riot....A riot of my own.
As a Cruz supporter I would not play that game with them if I was GOPe at this point and the anger out there in the base.
If he has the most delegates then let him have the nomination.....his people are energized and they will do the ground game better than anyone but Cruz who has the home schooler ground game.
Put both together on a ticket and you have an incredible chance at a landslide.
Which is why it is time for Trump and Cruz to make a deal. Between the conservative base and Trump voters only people left is that very small liberal GOPe and how many time did they tell us to hold our noses and vote for them for the good of the party, when they played their primary games with us?
I like the torches. It adds ambiance to the sincerity.
My 30 gallon cauldron for the tar is buried in the basement under Christmas decorations but I will have it ready to go in a few days.
I don’t think riot is the right word but it will not be pretty.
It also stops the GOPe from sticking a rino VP on to Trump as they did Reagan and adds a huge amount of angry betrayed voters to the GOPe betrayal if they do nominate someone else.
White people don’t riot unless they are college aged morons who want to prove to BLM that they aren’t rasis.
There would be lots of rage going around.
“A riot is an ungly zing....UNDT...I zink it’s about time that vee had von.”
