Washington (CNN)Donald Trump on Saturday suggested Bernie Sanders is staying in the Democratic race because of an "FBI convention" that would lead to prosecution of Hillary Clinton over her private email server while secretary of state.

At a Las Vegas rally, Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, implied that Sanders is waiting for Clinton to be indicted so he can then claim the Democratic nomination himself at the party's convention in Philadelphia.

"Crazy Bernie," Trump said of the Vermont senator. "He's crazy as a bed bug, but he doesn't quit."

"He's waiting for the FBI to do what everybody thinks they're going to do," Trump added. "I think he's saying, 'Let's hang in there because its ultimately called the FBI... We'll see if the right thing happens. Everybody knows what the right thing is."

Clinton has called the private email server a mistake, but has insisted everything was legal and that she would be cleared.
Sanders came up well short behind Clinton in the Democratic delegate fight. Though the primaries are over Sanders has not dropped out and endorsed Clinton.

On Saturday Trump also pushed back on reports that Republican activists were plotting to deny him the GOP nomination at the Cleveland convention this summer. Trump noted he beat back 16 primary rivals and won a record number of votes.

"Who are they going to pick? I beat everybody. I beat the hell out of them," Trump told the Las Vegas crowd. "And we're going to beat Hillary. And it would be helpful if the Republicans could help us a bit," Trump added.

2. I don't understand all this hatred for Trump by the GOPukers...this is exactly the type of person

they usually love.

8. They use dog whistles to call the herd to chow

Their whole game has been talk one thing when no one actually wanted to do anything about it. Example - abortion -- talk about it but don't actually do anything. Those one issue voters are in their back pocket so there is no expense in wooing them. Same with fiscal restraint, guns, etc.

Trump has thrown away the dog whistles on race and exposed their base.

The lived "perception is reality" and let their marketing department (Radio and Fox News) take over. Trump is a disaster of an ad campaign exposing them and their base.

The Orange, SMALL-handed, racist, sexist, misogynist ignoramus.

5. Look who's calling crazy

Oh, and Mr. Trump? If you're going to beat Hillary (that's Secretary Clinton to you, Mr. Short-Fingered Vulgarian), why do you need any help? And what's with this emergency pitch for cash I saw earlier today? Aren't you self-funding your campaign?

The whinefest when Trump loses is going to be epic.

6. Trump reveals the details of a wet dream he has been having....

7. So the Cheeto Jesus

makes a stupid comment about the Sander's campaign and it's treated like a press release handwritten by Bernie Sanders. Good thing for her that we don't treat his comments about Clinton with the same veracity.

9. Mafia Don really needs to cool it about talking about prosecutions

Between Trump University and bribing state attorneys general to drop cases against him, Donald Trump is far more likely to be indicted than Hillary Clinton.
