Presidential hopeful Donald Trump has warned that his supporters 'will riot' if he doesn't win Republican party nomination
The
firebrand billionaire said if he was not to become the party’s chosen
White House candidate following their convention in July, it would lead
to serious repercussions.Trump won a further three primaries on Tuesday night - but crucially, he lost in Ohio to John Kaisch.
The defeat in the Buckeye State made it almost impossible for the businessman to secure the majority of delegates that would automatically give him the nomination ahead of the party’s July convention.
If he were to fail, it would be left to Republican party members at the Cleveland conference to vote for their chosen candidate.
Trump's victories have caused major headaches for the party as many senior members are concerned by his apparent lack of policies and anti-immigration tone.
Speaking after his victories in Florida, Illinois and North Carolina, Trump reminded the GOP's establishment that he represented “many millions of people.”
“If you disenfranchise those people and you say that I’m sorry but you’re 100 votes short even though the next one is 500 votes short, I think you would have problems like you’ve never seen before,” he insisted.
