I&&num;8217&semi;m telling you&period;&&num;8221&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>While Mr Trump dismisses the effort as invented&comma; more Republicans in Congress are saying they will not attend the party convention and are not endorsing his candidacy&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Meanwhile&comma; a movement exists among some conservative delegates to change party rules to allow a different nominee&comma; although it&&num;8217&semi;s a long shot effort lacking sufficient backing and a candidate to offer as an alternative&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Mr Trump wondered aloud who his opponents would pick as a replacement&comma; a problem that has plagued the &&num;8220&semi;Never Trump&&num;8221&semi; movement for months&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&&num;8220&semi;Who are they going to pick&quest; I beat everybody&period; But I don&&num;8217&semi;t mean beat &&num;8211&semi;

Tourists carrying beer and wearing bikinis watched the crowds with amusement&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Mr Trump mistakenly blamed the delays on the Transportation Security Administration&comma; which sometimes handles audience screening but was not involved in screening at Treasure Island&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Casino security&comma; metro police and the Secret Service were handling those efforts at the Las Vegas event&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&&num;8220&semi;I&&num;8217&semi;m not happy about it&comma; but I have to put up with it&comma;&&num;8221&semi;
