Donald Trump Says Republican Rules Are ‘Stacked Against’ Him
Donald Trump has claimed that the Republican party’s rules have been deliberately “stacked against” him as part of an establishment scheme to stop him winning the presidential nomination.
He made the accusation in a CNN town hall meeting on Tuesday ahead of next week’s Republican primary in New York which Mr Trump is expected to win easily, despite party grandees openly professing dismay at the prospect of him being the GOP candidate in November’s presidential election . . .
Mr Trump told Anderson Cooper, the CNN moderator, that the award was “very unfair” and happened because party leaders changed the rules to prevent him getting the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination – although he predicted he would still reach that figure, despite the “shenanigans” . . .
He dismissed suggestions that he had lost in Colorado because he was unfamiliar with the rules and that Mr Cruz had a better organisation on the ground.
“”I know the rules very well, but I know it’s stacked against me by the establishment,” he said. “They changed the rules a number of months ago. You know why they changed the rules? Because they saw how I was doing and they didn’t like it.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Says Republican Rules Are ‘Stacked Against’ Him” HERE)
