2016 ELECTION: “I think I did win the [2016 election] popular vote on a true sense. I think there was tremendous cheating in California. There was tremendous cheating in New York and other places.
And if you take a look at the libertarian, they always talk about Jill Stein. Jill Stein took, what, half a percent. They talk about Jill Stein. Well, I have a libertarian – I’m somewhat libertarian. I have to be honest with you. Rand Paul will tell you that. I have a libertarian candidate on last time that got, what, 4.5 or so percent. Those are all Republican voters. They’re wasting their vote because they have to vote for us… If there wasn’t a libertarian on the ticket, I would win the popular vote. I would have won it last time.”
