Real Estate mogul turned politician, Donald Trump is now more confident about picking the sole ticket on the platform of the Republican Party while warning of an unrest if he is denied nomination.

In an interview with CNN, Trump said if he got a large number of delegates yet was denied the nomination: “I don’t think you can say that we don’t get it automatically. I think you’d have riots. I think you’d have riots. I’m representing many, many millions of people.”

Meanwhile, Trump strengthened his lead in the race to pick his party’s sole ticket for White House as he floored Marco Rubio in primaries staged in Florida.

On the other hand, Democratic favourite Hillary Clinton swept five primaries against Bernie Sanders as she powers on to pick her party’s ticket in the race to become the next American President.

Trump dealt a bitter defeat to his rival Marco Rubio, a senator from the state, who dropped out of the race afterwards.

The former US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, increased her lead in the number of delegates against her opponent Senator Bernie Sanders in the Democratic race.
