it would be a shame if something were to happen to it."
ABC News host George Stephanopoulos had to ask three times to get Trump to say hed tell his supporters not to riot if hes 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 dont want to see riots. I dont want to see problems, Trump continued. But, you know, you have you have millions of people who were talking about, George, millions of additional people have gone. You know, Ive gotten more than 2 million votes more than anybody else, 2 million votes, more than anybody else.

(4,176 posts)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.

(15,253 posts)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.
