Donald Trump Warns There Could Be Riots If He Isn't GOP Nomineeby Jessica Schulberg at the Huffington Post

"SNIP.............
Party operatives hoping to stop Trump have looked to the possibility of a brokered convention, which could block his path to becoming the nominee should he only win a plurality of delegates.
Trump said such a scenario would outrage his supporters, who have shown increasing willingness to use violence against their political detractors.
"If you disenfranchise those people, and you say, 'Well, Im sorry, but youre 100 votes short, even though the next one is 500 votes short,' I think you would have problems like youve never seen before. I think bad things would happen," Trump continued. "I wouldnt lead it, but I think bad things would happen."
Over the past several weeks, journalists covering Trump's campaign and people protesting at his rallies have been manhandled, punched, threatened and physically removed from events. The candidate said he would consider paying the legal fees for a supporter who was charged with assault for punching an anti-Trump protester in the face.

didn't do the Democrats any good. He should be careful what he wishes for.

Which I doubt he does.

And only himself. He doesn't even stand by his own family.

Responsibility if things just happen to get out of hand. He will shrug his shoulders and say, "See? I should have won, and this wouldn't have happened..." why does this sound like a script out of the Sopranos... ???
