No, he didn’t. I think what was said was not in reference to the general election, but of being deprived of the nomination at the convention if he had the requisite number of delegates.
“I think what was said was not in reference to the general election, but of being deprived of the nomination at the convention if he had the requisite number of delegates.”
But that is not what he said. He literally said that if he was short of what his own party says the requirement should be but is ahead of everyone else and he loses, there could be riots.
“I think we’ll win before getting to the convention, but I can tell you, if we didn’t and if we’re 20 votes short or if we’re, you know, 100 short and we’re at 1,100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400, because we’re way ahead of everybody. I don’t think you can say that we don’t get it automatically. I think you’d have riots. I think you’d have riots.” - trump March 16, 2016
