Donald Trump is going to win the Republican Party's nomination next month, but "if Donald Trump loses, it's on his head," political commentator Michael Reagan told
Newsmax TV on Thursday.
"The Republican Party you may not like or people listening may not like, but they're not stupid," Reagan, the eldest son of former President Ronald Reagan, told "The Hard Line" host Ed Berliner in an interview.

Michael Reagan's new book is
"Lessons My Father Taught Me: The Strength, Integrity, and Faith of Ronald Reagan."
"They're not going to find a way to get rid of Donald Trump at the convention and have a riot on their hands," he told Berliner. "They'll let it play out. Donald Trump will win or he will lose the election of the United States.
"What I'm worried about and concerned about now is that it seems the Trump supporters are already trying to find a group to blame or someone to blame if in fact he loses.
"If Donald Trump loses, it's on his head," Reagan said. "It's not on anybody else's head.
"It's on him because he didn’t have a message beyond a message to the base."
