Even though the Republican convention in Cleveland, Ohio is still four months away and current GOP front-runner Donald Trump does not have the necessary delegates needed for a first ballot nomination, Trump is already issuing threats to the powers-that-be in the party: Nominate me or there will be riots.
Speaking to Chris Cuomo on CNN shortly after he had been named the winner of the Florida primary, Trump remarked:
“I think there’s a natural healing process. Once the battle is over, once the war is over, I think there really is a natural healing process. And I’ve gotten along with people all my life. This is actually a little bit unusual.”
How in the world do you manage to use the words “healing,” “battle,” and “war” in the same sentence and expect any kind of unity in a party that has been taken hostage by a dillhole narcissist such as Trump? The Donald then went on to the threat portion of the evening:
“I think we will 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 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 would have riots. I think you would have riots.”
But Trump wasn’t quite finished setting the stage for the violence he plans to unleash if he happens to lose:
“If you disenfranchise those people and you say that I’m sorry but you’re 100 votes short even though the next one is 500 votes short, I think you would have problems like you’ve never seen before. I think bad things would happen.
“I wouldn’t lead it, but I think bad things would happen.”
The good news is the Justice Department and FBI now know who to question first should such a thing happen in July during the GOP convention.
