Democrats will "fight him and challenge him in every way that we can, in the Congress, in the courts and in the streets," congressman Joaquin Castro was heard saying.

"We fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore," Mr Trump told the rally.
