Donald Trump warned Wednesday "you'll have riots" if Republican National Convention tried to deny him the nomination in July. "I think we’ll win before getting to the convention," Trump said on CNN a day after he won several states, including Florida. "But I can tell you, if we didn’t, and 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 — because we’re way ahead of everybody — I don't think you can say that we don't get it automatically.

Trump also said Wednesday he will not attend the next Republican debate but instead will address the American Israel Public Affairs Committee convention.
