WORDS HAVE MEANING. LEADERS LEAD. Donald Trump is the ONLY candidate to openly encourage violence. Some of his supporters have listened.

Trump continues to bully, threaten, and intimidate to further his platform of xenophobia and bigotry.

On March 16, 2016 Donald Trump said:

"if we’re 20 votes short or if we’re 100 short and we’re at 1,100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400…[and] we don’t get it automatically…I think you’d have riots…I think you would have problems like you’ve never seen before. I think bad things would happen, I really do.” (Begley, 2016)

The Republican Nomination is not “The Price is Right” — it’s not enough to have the ‘nearest number of delegates without going over’. The nomination requires 1237 delegates, whether that’s achieved in the primaries or through second or subsequent ballots at convention.

• A responsible leader will KNOW the process and prepare his supporters for that process
• A skillful leader will be able to negotiate for delegates, make the deals, and form the necessary coalitions to acquire required delegates

It is IRRESPONSIBLE to predict, suggest, or otherwise threaten violence.

Donald Trump:

WE REJECT YOUR CAMPAIGN OF HATE, FEAR, AND INTIMIDATION! 

• WALK BACK THE VIOLENT RHETORIC used in your campaign
• EDUCATE supporters rather than INFLAME them
• ACKNOWLEDGE the ONLY PATH to nomination is by capturing the required CONVENTION VOTES OF 1237 DELEGATES
