\\n\\t* And then there was one; Donald Trump is now the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee for 2016
\\n\\t* I remember when this Republican Primary started and the field was very wide
\\n\\t* They had to split the debates up between the main event and the under card because there were so many candidates
\\n\\t* Nobody in the mainstream really gave Donald Trump a shot
\\n\\t* Even though I wasn't supporting, Trump - I was supporting Rand Paul and more recently Ted Cruz as the candidates who were ideologically closest to me
\\n\\t* I always thought that Donald Trump was a very serious candidate and thought that he had the best odds of winning and that's what happened
\\n\\t* I always recognized the appeal of his message
\\n\\t* I know the economy is much worse than is generally perceived and, for the typical American, living in a rotten economy, Trump seems to be the candidate that is going to appeal to them
\\n\\t* He's not talking about cutting social security or taking away government benefits, he's trying to be all things to all people
\\n\\t* It's a populist message - Everybody's going to win, just elect me and I'm going to make all your problems go away
\\n\\t* How am I going to make them go away? Because I'm different
\\n\\t* I'm not your typical politician, I'm a billionaire businessman who knows what I'm doing and everybody in government are incompetent fools
\\n\\t* He's right about that part - everybody in government is incompetent
\\n\\t* But that does not mean that Trump is a panacea to immediately make these problems go away
\\n\\t* But you know what? Why not take a shot at it?
\\n\\t* I knew that his message is powerful and would resonate
\\n\\t* Everybody is writing him off, saying he will lose to Hillary Clinton
\\n\\t* I don't believe so
\\n\\t* I think the media is still underestimating Donald Trump, despite the fact that they completely surprised them by winning the Republican nomination
\\n\\t* He might surprise them again by winning the General Election and being our next President
\\n\\t* Because, if you are anti-establishment, why would you vote for Hillary Clinton, even if you are a Democrat
\\n\\t* Why do you think Bernie Sanders continues to get so much support?
\\n\\t* He beat Hillary again in Indiana yesterday
\\n\\t* But of course Hillary has such a massive lead, thanks to all these super delegates, it doesn't even matter how many primaries he wins - he can win all the primaries from now until the election and Hillary is still going to be the nominee
\\n\\t* Unless Bernie Sanders can flip the super delegates
\\n\\t* Maybe if she gets indicted between now and the convention, well maybe that will do the trick
\\n\\t* But Hillary Clinton couldn't win in Indiana because there weren't enough minorities there
\\n\\t* When you just look your basic Democratic American, they're overwhelmingly going for Bernie Sanders
\\n\\t* The reason they're doing that is for the same reason that Republicans are going for Donald Trump
\\n\\t* I said many times I think Donald Trump will be able to tailor his message specifically to appeal to the Bernie Sanders Democrats
\\n\\t* He's not going to get all of the Bernie Sanders Democrats - the far left Socialists
\\n\\t* But there are a lot of people who are voting for Bernie Sanders because they can't stand Hillary Clinton
\\n\\t* Trump has a good shot at getting those people, in fact I think Donald Trump can do better with the Democrats than Ronald Regan
\\n\\t* And it was those Regan Democrats that really put Ronald Regan in the White House
\\n\\t* Many people are too young to remember, but when Ronald Regan first got the nomination, the media said, well that's it, he's going to lose in a landslide
\\n\\t* Nobody thought he could beat Jimmy Carter, an incumbent President and Ronald Regan was so far to the right, he was even more to the right than Barry Goldwater,\\n\\nOur Sponsors:\\n* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.com/ \\n\\nPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy"
