Trump has defended Sanders, blasting the Democrats for treating his candidacy unfairly.
“This is the real world that we live in”, he said, following up his call to elect Clinton.
“Trump is a bully and a demagogue”, he said.
Trump waved away Republican disunity as essentially isolated pockets of resistance and made an apparent reference to US Senator Ted Cruz, who was booed off stage in Cleveland when he did not endorse Trump after losing to him in a bitter primary race.
