Donald Trump warned Wednesday that “riots” would break out if the GOP tries to deny him the Republican Party’s nomination.
“I think we’ll win before getting to the convention. And if we’re 20 votes short or if we’re 100 short and we’re at 1,100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400 … I don’t think you can say that we don’t get it automatically,” he told CNN.
“I think you’d have riots,” he added. “I’m representing … many, many millions of people, in many cases first-time voters.
“I wouldn’t 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 you’ve never seen before.”
Trump mentioned a hypothetical scenario in which he’d go to the Cleveland convention in July with about 1,000 delegates and a rival would show up with 500.
He said he believes he’ll capture the nomination before the convention and said he couldn’t imagine failing to get the party’s nod virtually “automatically” in such a scenario.

Obama and the UniParty have turned us into an African 3rd world country.
WE knew something might come ... and now it’s pretty sure ... something WILL come down
..yes, and there WILL be riots whether he is nominated or not. Chicago all over again only worse. Not a year to attend a convention unless you are a martial arts black belt.
ymmv
The Republican back-stablishment
I had not even thought of that. If this thing even has the slightest chance of being contested angry emotional Trump voters will start flocking there from all over the US. There will be a show of force of Trump voters in the streets. Add to that all the liberals that always show up and will be there in greater numbers because of Trump.....
This convention is a serious recipe for blood in the streets. Add to that Trump with the most delegates not getting the nomination that anger and emotion will be impossible to keep out of the convention center without the National Guard in place. They will have to be stationed everywhere.
The GOPe is playing a very stupid deadly game at this point.
I think he’s right. It’s that close. Politicians don’t understand that people actually believe that things are nearly broken beyond repair in Washington so it’s no big deal if all of it gets burned down.
obumbles does not want to leave the protection of residency in the white mosque
We'll make '68 look like child's play.
The MSM is probably licking their chops at the prospect even as we speak.
truer words ...
She’s there because no one has the balls to serve her what she’s earned. They are all more like hillary than an honest patriot. If Trump is President, maybe he’d indict her. It’s for sure obama’s justice dept won’t. hillary and bill go back so far with their illegal dealings and missing persons. There is nothing they have not tried... and by this time, they are in the belief that they are untouchable Her voters are the brainwashed masses. No one with any sense would think she’s earned the office of the President. Our government has become rotten to the very core... and Trump being the one who can clean it out.. and they know it! So, when they try to circumvent our votes, it’s time to set it straight... he went the distance.. we have to follow suit.
lol..
GAW DAM RIGHT
Getting the GOP nomination will be more difficult than beating Hillary
The RINO establishment in DC is hard core!!!
But I really think RINO's at the state level ....many or most will go along with a Trump nomination to ride his coat tails. ``
If I was the GOPe, I would stop playing this game right now!
The games end NOW.
Yes, there will.
There are going to be no fenced off “Free Speech Zones”. The people massing in the streets are going to be massive. A show of force for Trump. They are not going to be able to control this thing.
i'm only 69 and already carry a lot of gravitas, probably an extra 50 lbs. ... it does comes from gravy, right?
