A senior Australian government minister on Thursday called Donald Trump's campaign for the U.S. presidency "terrifying" and warned it risked casting the Republican Party into the wilderness if he wins nomination.
Australian government ministers rarely make critical comments about elections in other countries, especially stalwart allies like the United States, which Australia relies on heavily for military backing in the Asia-Pacific.
Australian Industry Minister Christopher Pyne, a cabinet member of the ruling conservative Liberal-National coalition, criticized the violence at recent Trump rallies and said that his rise was casting a pall over American democracy.
"Now, democracy should be robust but it certainly shouldn't be violent," Pyne said in an interview on Australia's Channel Seven television network.
"And I think the Donald Trump phenomenon is a real problem for the United States, making their democracy look kind of weird," he said.
Republican front-runner Trump warned on Wednesday of riots if he is denied the party's presidential nomination, only days after Trump supporters and protesters clashed at a rally for the Republican in Chicago that was later scrapped.
Republican Party leaders are appalled at Trump's incendiary rhetoric and reject policies such as his vow to deport 11 million illegal immigrants, temporarily ban Muslims from the United States and build a wall along the Mexican border.
The party tried to play down Trump's riot comments, which have raised the temperature even more in a heated White House race.

Did anybody ask for his opinion.
But where does he stand on BREXIT?
ROTFLMAO!
Frightens all the LEFT people
Trade wars and Syrian invasions tend to make folks overseas nervous.
Note to Supreme Minister of Cosmic Australian Government:
You’re just encouraging us!
Oh look a foreigner who thinks Americans give a shit about his opinion
He better hope Trump doesn’t call for a boycott of Outback Steak House. .................................. BoyCott? If they aren’t American, kick them out. Start out own, Call it Wyoming Range.
I love those ideas.
Another foreigner who has absolutely no idea what is happening in this country.
Thanks for your input. I was about to ask you what you thought.
er...the correct analogy would be “soiling their underwear” or possibly “pissing in their pants”.
The term “wetting their panties” denotes a level of positive female excitement, which is not really descriptive of any typical leftists response to Mr. Trump’s campaign.
Just saying.../grin//
The ruling class fears Trump.
100%
There’s nothing more American than an Outback Steakhouse, and just to prove it, we lost ours! The building’s still there, though, with vaguely discernible lettering. They ain’t the only ones.
It’s the new age.
Seeing the canadian saying prayers in a mosgue said all I needed to know about our back not being covered from the north.
They’re frightened because we’re giving their people ideas. Look at what happened with the election in Germany last week.
Read a post on another board two weeks ago that America does have influence overseas. If we stand up, it gives them the courage to follow.
The “Brexit” thing right now began with two shots. The first was the rise of Trump and the destabilization of the PC culture. The second was the refugee crisis. Both happened at the same time and added tinder to the flame. (Couldn’t have happened without the internet. That’s been weakening the PC BS for years now and getting the population’s mind prepared.)
Just as we saw the destabilization of the middle east with Obama, we’ll see the rise of the right in Western nations all over the planet with the election of Trump.
Chrissy the “minister” needs to immediately go this his “safety space”, put his thumb in his mouth and curl up into the fetal position. He’ll be okay.
Liberals no matter what country they’re in are terminally afraid of conservatives and conservative values.
