Donald Trump said Saturday night that the man who rushed the stage as he spoke earlier at an Ohio rally was probably “ISIS related” (using an acronym for Islamic State), but offered no evidence for the accusation.
At a raucous rally in Kansas City, Trump told supporters that he would have fought the man if Secret Service agents had not tackled him in a high-drama clash on stage at Trump's morning rally in Dayton.
The Republican presidential front-runner criticized an unnamed judge for releasing the suspect, identified by the Dayton Daily News as Thomas Dimassimo, 22, of Fairborn, Ohio.

As Marco Rubio fights in Florida to keep his own presidential aspirations alive, he's pitching to supporters that something else is at stake in next Tuesday's primary: the conservative movement.
"I won't beat around the bush here. If Donald Trump is our nominee, we're going to lose," Rubio told a crowd of a several hundred people in Pensacola on Saturday evening. "And by the way, if Donald Trump is our nominee, he will define conservatism for a generation."
Hours after a morose Rubio said it was "getting harder every day" to pledge to support Trump if he were the GOP nominee, the Florida senator swiped at the front-runner for "going to Americans who are angry and who are frustrated and is telling them to get angrier and more frustrated."

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz added to his delegate total on Saturday, grabbing a majority of delegates in Wyoming's GOP county conventions, one of a handful of contests being held this weekend.
Cruz won nine of the 12 delegates that were up for grabs, according to the state party. Republican front-runner Donald Trump and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio each won a single delegate in Wyoming, while one delegate was uncommitted. Next month another 14 of the Wyoming’s delegates will be awarded at the statewide convention.
On Saturday, Cruz also picked up a delegate in Guam, while, according to CNN and the Associated Press, the island’s remaining five delegates remained uncommitted.

Lawyers for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday contested an Orange County woman's request to withdraw from a lawsuit she filed against Trump University, saying the entire case was built around her and it would be unfair to the defense for her to bail out now.
"We've passed the point of no return," attorney Daniel Petrocelli told U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel in San Diego.
Tarla Makaeff — one of four class representatives bringing the case against Trump's real estate instruction program — had asked to be removed from the lawsuit, citing stress and health problems caused by the closely watched case.

Sen. Marco Rubio is making a last stand in Florida that is as much about reigniting his once-hopeful presidential campaign as burnishing his own legacy after romping in the gutter with Donald Trump
Acknowledging he is the underdog now in his home state, Rubio was downcast Saturday as he took stock of the fractured condition of the GOP -- and his role in the messy fissure.
The violence that has erupted at Trump’s rallies left him doubting his own resolve when asked what has become the defining question for Republican leaders in the Trump era: Yes, he would still back the billionaire if he ended up the party’s nominee.
