Trump to GOP: "That's a nice convention you plan on having there...

it would be a shame if something were to happen to it."

Donald Trump will tell his supporters not to riot if he’s denied the Republican presidential nomination, but he suggested it could happen anyway.

ABC News host George Stephanopoulos had to ask three times to get Trump to say he’d tell his supporters not to riot if he’s denied the nomination at the Republican National Convention this summer.

“I would certainly tell them that, but, you know, look, these people are — are fervent,” Trump said.

“I don’t want to see riots. I don’t want to see problems,” Trump continued. “But, you know, you have — you have millions of people who we’re talking about, George, millions of additional people have gone. You know, I’ve gotten more than 2 million votes more than anybody else, 2 million votes, more than anybody else.”

That's exactly what he's telling them to do. The GOP convention will be interesting, but not in a good way. All we can hope for is that Trump takes the whole party down with him.

Donald Trump wants violence, it brings him attention and it entertains him.

Those willing to give him the violence are the ones who will be running this country if all of us dont show up in November to vote against fascism.

That is what this comes down to, simple and straight.

Trumps butt for ratings. Trump just made a total fool out of little Gerogie,even though they are on the same Cocktail Circuit. This my fiends is the Image of Corporate News today. Love to see a interview with Dan Rather or Walter Cronkite and Trump.

Democrats have offered up alternatives only to have them marginalized by media and party leadership. The Republicans have fallen so far from the establishment candidate they have conceded that spot to a Democrat Hillary Clinton and are now banking on Ted Cruz a man reviled by the GOP. The large sums of money promised by Citizens United have only further alienated the electorate. We have faced worse problems say 1860 election which eventually was corrected. The world was a less dangerous place in 1860.
