Establishment Democratic vs Outsider Republican. A preview.
Trump predicts he'll face Clinton, break turnout records
And he predicted he'd earn a "tremendous amount" of support from African-Americans.
"I'm going to do great with the African-Americans. African-American youth is 58% unemployed. African-Americans in their prime are substantially worse off than the whites in their prime, and it's a very sad situation," he said.
He even broached the subject of the military-industrial complex in lamenting the way Washington operates.
"The drug companies control the drug industry, I mean it's ridiculous, and the military companies -- I mean it's ridiculous," Trump said.
And he explained away a moment in Thursday night's CNN town hall in South Carolina in which he seemed to suggest he supports the individual health insurance mandate included in President Barack Obama's health care law.
"We were talking over each other, and it wasn't Anderson's fault," Trump said of CNN's Anderson Cooper, who was the moderator. "There's no mandate, no mandatory anything. We're gonna end Obamacare, we're gonna terminate it. It's going to be repealed and it's going to be replaced by something much better."
Still, he expressed his support for at least some forms of government-provided health care.
"People are not going to die on the streets of any city or of any place if I'm president," Trump said. "And every time I say it, I get standing ovations from Republicans. ... We have to take care of people."
In an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation," Trump also defended his foreign policy credentials, saying other Republicans could "start World War III over Syria."
Note: I think different people will view Trump as either a Republican, a Democrat, or an Independent.
