Trump dismisses riots, focuses on battle against Clinton
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican front-runner Donald Trump on Sunday dismissed reports of a riot outside his rally in California, pressing ahead with his claim that Democrat Hillary Clinton is only in the presidential race because she's a woman.
The change of subject reflects Trump's conviction that the race for the Republican presidential nomination is essentially "over," with GOP rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich unable to catch up to Trump's delegate haul — but Trump himself is short of the 1,237 delegates required to clinch the nomination.
Even as he focused on the general election, Trump was among the candidates courting Indiana voters Sunday ahead of the state's vote with 57 GOP delegates at stake.
On ABC, the first question posed to former CIA director and defense secretary Robert Gates was about what a Trump candidacy would mean for the nation's national security.
On CBS, Sen. Lindsey Graham, who has endorsed Cruz even though he has said he loathes the Texas senator, said Trump's foreign policy amounts to isolationism.
