"I think well win before getting to the convention," Trump said on CNN's "New Day." "But I can tell you, if we didnt, and if were 20 votes short or if were 100 short, and were at 1100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400 because were 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. I'm representing a tremendous many, many millions of people."

Take that whole putrid party down with you! Don't let them disrespect you Trump, for you KNOW you are the chosen one.
Like your fascist hero Mussolini said: "Don't go out with a whimper, go out with a bang!"
ROAR like a lion! BURN THAT BITCH DOWN!!!
Then police will shut them down.
