Trump keeps up heat on Republican Party leaders
Donald Trump late Saturday highlighted several messages from supporters warning the Republican Party of consequences if the GOP presidential front-runner were not treated fairly.
Trump initially retweeted a post from conservative author Ann Coulter, who said the GOP was “trying to steal” the nomination from Trump.
"@AnnCoulter: GOP is trying to steal nomination from the winner (Trump) not block an insurgent catching up 2 frontrunner (Sanders).

He next forwarded a message to his 7.5 million followers that “millions will walk from the GOP” if the party “screws Trump.”
"@metalmom888: @Theresa_Cali If the GOP screws Trump, his millions will walk from the GOP never to return! They better think long and hard"

The last message he retweeted was also sent to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, warning that millions would “burn their Republican registration” if the GOP “continues to subvert the will of the people.”
"@becker_berta: @vivhall3 @Reince Millions more will burn their Republican registration if GOP continues to subvert the will of the people."

{mosads}Trump said last Sunday that he has concerns the Republican Party may try to “steal” the nomination from him if he doesn’t make it to the convention with the necessary 1,237 delegates to clinch the nomination outright.
During an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” he said he wouldn’t rule out a third-party run if he doesn’t win the GOP nomination.
“It’s not a question of win or lose; it’s a question of treatment,” Trump said. “I’m by far the front-runner. I want to run as a Republican. I will beat [Democratic presidential front-runner] Hillary Clinton. I’m going to have to see how I was treated.”
