TAMPA, Florida (AP) — Campaigning in the crucial battleground state of Florida, Donald Trump bashed Democrats and Republicans alike Saturday, from Hillary Clinton to former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on the right.

Addressing a crowd of thousands at the Tampa Convention Center, Trump tore into "Crooked Hillary," as he calls his likely general election opponent, for the State Department email controversy and called Romney a "stone, cold loser" for not backing him as the presumptive Republican nominee.

Trump said the Republican Party "has got to get their act together, come together to win" and slammed GOP senate candidates who are not backing his run for president.

He spoke confidently of his own ability to win the presidency, but warned that down-ballot races for the House and Senate could be at risk if Republicans don't rally behind his campaign.
