I don't understand what he is doing here...
He has also said that he might consider rescinding on promise not to run as an independent. Basically, he is tell the GOP if he gets enough delegates to win the nomination if they party tries to do something to screw him out of it his supporters will riot (and likely not support whoever the GOP picks as a candidate) and Trump may run as an independent which would all but guarantee Clinton the win.
