Forget The Polls and GOP Infighting, I’ll Win in November - Donald Trump
Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump told NBC’s “Meet the Press”
on Sunday
that he will win the U.S Presidential election in November 'one way or the
other'.
The Billionaire businessman said everyone should forget the polls, forget the
short list of important endorsements and forget the GOP infighting, that he'll
win the elections.
“We're going to go onto a great victory. It would be nice if the Republicans
stuck together,”
“I'm a different kind of a candidate, I think that I win either way. I can
win one way or the other,” he said.
When asked specifically of the reports regarding a mutiny of the
Republican delegates, Trump dismissed the chatter at once.
“Number one, they can't do it legally. Number two, I worked for one year
and we won all of those delegates. And, you know, I guess I'm at almost
1,600,” he said, referring to the 1,542 delegates he’s secured. To win the
nomination on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention next
month and avoid a contested convention, Trump needs only 1,237 delegates.
Prominent Republican, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), said
Sunday
that he would stand by Trump, even if it was out of obligation in order not to
create party divisions.
“I feel like I have certain responsibilities, as not just Congressman Paul
Ryan from the first district of Wisconsin, but as Speaker of the House. And
imagine the Speaker of the House not supporting the duly elected nominee of
our party, therefore creating a chasm in our party to split us in half,
which basically helps deny us the White House, and strong majorities in
Congress,” Ryan said on the same NBC program.
“Now … if something is done and said that I don't agree with that I think
puts a bad label on conservatism, then I'm going to speak out on it as I
have, as I will continue to do, and I hope I don't have to keep doing,”
added Ryan.
