Trump Cries Foul Over Process as He Presses Campaign Forward

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is blasting the way the country chooses presidential party nominees as "corrupt" and "crooked."

His harsh criticism comes as Trump grapples with the potential of a brokered convention that he risks losing.

Speaking to thousands packed in a frigid airport hangar in western New York on Sunday, Trump ripped the byzantine fight over delegates at the heart of his party's nominating process. He argued anew that the person who wins the most votes in the primary process should automatically be the GOP nominee.

The billionaire businessman, who has been leading throughout the GOP race, charged that "what they're trying to do is subvert the movement with crooked shenanigans."

He's coming to terms with the political reality of chasing delegates ahead of the nominating convention.
