Trump threatens delegates

Trump threatens delegates

So Donald Trump, being ignorant of how delegates are selected and not bothering to try to get his supporters chosen, thinks he is being cheated.  So now he is threatening delegates who try to “steal” the nomination from him.  His campaign is saying that they will reveal their hotels and room numbers and send people to “find them.”

From, Michael Gerson: Let Trump play the victim | News OK:

Welcome to Donald Trump’s banana republic. “We’re going to have protests, demonstrations,” says Trump surrogate and confidante Roger Stone. “We will disclose the hotels and the room numbers of those delegates who are directly involved in the steal. If you’re from Pennsylvania, we’ll tell you who the culprits are. We urge you to visit their hotel and find them.”
