Trump Says There Will Be a ‘Bloodbath’ and Elections Will End if He Isn’t Reelected

Donald Trump appeared at a rally hosted by super PAC Buckeye Values in Dayton, Ohio, on Saturday supporting Bernie Moreno, the Senate candidate vying for the GOP primary who Trump endorsed.

Moreno is competing with state Senator Matt Dolan and Secretary of State Frank LaRose in the Republican primary, the winner of which will go head-to-head against Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown. Brown is one of the two Democrats (the other is Montana Democrat Jon Tester) running for reelection in red states. The two races will be pivotal in determining which party controls the Senate.

Trump’s endorsement of Moreno is not a slam dunk. Dolan has the recent backing of former Senator Rob Portman and Governor Mike DeWine, two leading Ohio Republicans, which gives Moreno a major challenge in the short stretch to the Ohio primary on Tuesday.

Trump’s speech was made partially without the aid of a teleprompter (apparently it was not working for him to refer to as he mentioned several times), and he meandered, riffed, made blunders, and mispronounced several words. Though, to be fair to the apparent failing teleprompter, these gaffes have become typical during Trump’s rally speeches.

Later, he went as far as ominously implying that voting as we know it won’t exist if he loses: “I don’t think you’re going to have another election in this country if we don’t win this election,” he said.
