Republican party wants me to lose – Trump

Donald Trump

 

Republican Donald Trump has said the party’s leaders do not want him to win the US presidential nomination.
The system was “stacked” against him, he said in New York, accusing the Republican National Committee (RNC) of conspiring against him.

His comments come after his rival Ted Cruz was awarded all the delegates in Colorado without a state-wide vote.
Mr Trump leads the race but may fall short of getting enough delegates to get the nomination outright.
The Washington Post reported yesterday that Mr Cruz is likely to win on a second vote.
Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus rejected Mr Trump’s charge that the rules in states like Colorado had been changed against him.
Most states have opted to hold state-wide primaries or caucuses to determine the number of delegates pledged to a particular candidate.
But Colorado decided last summer to select its delegates in a different way, at its own state convention.
