Trump Warns "There Will Be Riots" If He's Denied Nomination: "Bad Things Would Happen"
ZeroHedge
Two days ago, courtesy of Bloomberg, we outlined how the (extremely perturbed and after Tuesday completely decimated) GOP establishment would go about stealing the Republican nomination from Donald Trump.
“Although everyone now jokes about just how unstoppable the Trump ‘juggernaut’ has become, the establishment isn’t called ‘the establishment,’ for nothing,” we said. “Trump may have proven remarkably adept at whipping certain sectors of the electorate into a veritable frenzy, but he himself will tell you that he’s no politician.” The bottom line: he may be a wily, braggadocious, billionaire but he doesn’t know all of the tricks of the political trade. That could – and likely does – mean that Republicans are already working behind the scenes to figure out how to rob him at the last minute.
There’s all sorts of ways for crafty, career politicians to rig the delegates and use procedural maneuvers at the convention to undercut Trump and you can read the full account here, but suffice to say, a Trump nomination is far from a sure thing and the more he attacks the establishment the more willing they’ll be to use any means at their disposal to stop him.
But Trump has a …er… trump card.
He has an army (and that’s probably a more accurate characterization than any at this point) of supporters that would literally take to the streets if they feel as though the popular will has been subverted by the very same establishment politics that compelled them to vote for Trump in the first place. As Ted Cruz put it in Maine (although he was probably talking about himself, not Trump), “If the Washington deal-makers try to steal the nomination from the people, I think it would be a disaster. It would cause a revolt.”
Trump agrees.
Asked by CNN what would happen if he can’t muster the 1,237 delegates he needs to lock up the nomination and ends up getting robbed at the convention in Cleveland, Trump said this:
“I think you’d have riots.”
“[I’m] representing many millions of people. If you disenfranchise those people, and you say, ‘I’m sorry, you’re 100 votes short’ … I think you’d have problems like you’ve never seen before. I think bad things would happen.”
Yes, “bad things.” And if you’ve seen a Trump rally lately, you know just what he’s talking about.
Of course irrespective of whether you believe Trump incites violence among supporters he knows are already riled up, he’s unquestionably correct to say that no cadre of politicians commiserating in a smoke-filled backroom should be allowed to subvert the will of the electorate.
But this is deeper than that for the GOP. This isn’t about preserving democracy. This is about making one last stand to preserve the Party itself.
That is, it’s an existential crisis. If the Republican brand has already been deeply wounded by Trump’s success, it will die altogether with a Trump nomination.
And at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about in Washington: survival. Not democracy.
And that simple fact, combined with the fact that after last night, Trump has 621 delegates, is why we fear “bad things” may be more likely to happen than not in the months ahead.

I have no doubt that are robbing Mr. Trump at every election. They are stealing his votes and giving them to the guys competing with him to diminish the true numbers he is getting.
These huge last minute surges by others speaks volumes about the fact that the establishment will stop at nothing to stop their gravy train. If you think these counters are honest, I have a bridge to sell you.
Damn accurate post haha.
The Bush family in 1933 was found guilty of an attempted Coup of the US and White House! What a presidental legacy, so you know all roads lead to the Bush family of being criminal inside the US Gov!
Learn about the criminal Bush family history legacy of manipulating the US money. Prescott Bush was GW’s father, and was found guilty by Congressional Court in 1933, by money laundering the Nazi Germany looted stolen money inside the US. Bush did this at the exact time we were at war with Germany, with boots on the ground! Imagine that, the Bush family money laundering while the US and UK have troops on the ground fighting and dying. So you see, the Bush family has a 4 generation of manipulating and laundering US Gov money. Finally people are waking up but unfortunately, its too late.
To learn about the Bush families attempted coup of the White House in 1933, read the below link and share it with as many people as you can. The truth needs to be said, and can be proved once you read the entire story. Imagine how did Bushs become President after grandpa Prescott attempted to Coup the White House. See how you are controlled of media by the powers like Bush?
This story explained about the fake Ted Cruz’s wife was physically bribed with $5 Billion dollars during the Bush Wall Stret Bailout in 2008. Yeah, Teds wife Heidi got $5 Billion Dollars as Managing Director of Goldman Sachs. So Cruz is now Bushs puppet. To, Romney owns Bain Capital, another huge Lobbysist Wall Street company and he directly got $100s of million dollars from the US gov, so he is a puppet of Bush. Remember too, hillary and her speechs at Goldman Sachs where she gave 3 speechs and got $2 million dollars, and will not release what she said. You see, she is controlled by the Bush family and a piad puppet. See the proof? Now do you understand the true meaning of Prescott Bushs attempted Coup of the White House back in 1933? See the pattern?
If you want to learn more, please read the below linked story and pass on the truth to everyone you know, and to all websites. This blows open the criminal Lobbyists groups and the Bush family who control the entire US Gov today.
See why all Lobbyists of both parties are joining forces against Trump? You see, all their Lobbyists easily stollen money from the US Gov will be stopped, and no one will get another penny. Trump will put a stop to it, so that is why all Lobbyists from both sides are joining forces. Its better to share the wealth between criminals, then being totally cut off of their cash cow money.
