DONALD TRUMP: ‘I ONLY CARE ABOUT THE FIRST BALLOT … WE’RE NOT GOING TO A SECOND’ BALLOT

“We’re like fighters” going into unfriendly territory, Trump said of himself and his supporters.

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump said on Sunday that he’s only interested in winning the GOP nomination on the first ballot by reaching 1,237 delegates before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, in July.

“I only care about the first [ballot]. We’re not going for the second, the third, fourth and fifth,” Trump told thousands of his supporters in Hagerstown, Maryland at the Rider Jet Center. “I think we get that 1,237.”

Trump later added that if the nomination went to a second ballot, he hopes all of his supporters will be in Cleveland.

“The only thing they can hope is we don’t get it on first ballot,” Trump said of his rivals.

I’ll tell you what, if a guy that’s losing by all those millions of votes wins, we’re going to have some people that are going to be very, very angry and I hope, but only in positive way, I hope that all of you and everybody that’s listening can go in July to Cleveland because we’re going to have something that’s going to be so beautiful, but you have to play the game. It’s a rigged system.

“We’re like fighters” going into unfriendly territory, Trump said of himself and his supporters.
