&ldquo;I know the rules very well, but I know that it&rsquo;s stacked against me by the establishment,&rdquo; Trump (69), told CNN during a town hall. He alleged that in some states despite him getting most of the votes his main Republican rival Ted Cruz is getting more delegates.
Similarly, he alleged that the Democrats have stacked rules against its presidential candidate Bernie Sanders so as to ensure that their favourite Hillary Clinton gets the nomination. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s stacked against him. It really is. In his case, it&rsquo;s super-delegates. In my case, it&rsquo;s the obvious. But it&rsquo;s stacked against him,&rdquo; he said.
Prior to his CNN interview, Trump had said at a rally on Tuesday evening, &ldquo;Our Republican system is absolutely rigged. It&rsquo;s a phony deal.&rdquo; Trump currently has 755 delegates, while Senator Ted Cruz has 545 delegates against the required 1,237 delegates to win the party&rsquo;s nomination.
Trump is a bully: Cruz Texas Sen Ted Cruz blasted rival Donald Trump in a radio interview, accusing the Republican front-runner of being a bully, inciting violence and using dirty tricks to intimidate voters and delegates. &ldquo;Donald&rsquo;s whole pitch is he&rsquo;s a great businessman,&rdquo; Cruz said, adding that given how Trump runs his campaign, &ldquo;it appears he can&rsquo;t run a lemonade stand.&rdquo;
