Thank you, thank you everybody. Thank you.
Tonight—well, we have a long time, right? It’s like whatever day. You know, I’ve been doing this, so... I want to thank you all for being here. You know, I made this trip sort of at the last moment. I said, "I want to get to Louisiana. You gotta get to fantastic people."
You know Willie Robertson? We love Willie, right? Willie supported us. He endorsed us the other day, and I just want to thank Willie and his family—great people. Great people.
So CNN just came out with a poll: Trump: 49%, Lyin’ Ted Cruz: 15%, Kasich: 6%. So there’s your poll. We like it! Do we like those numbers?
Don’t you love it—they're always saying, “Why is Trump playing with the polls?” But when you’re number one, you read them out all the time. If you’re number two—no good. And how about when we had 17? If you’re number 17, don’t talk about the polls. But number one—we talk about the polls.
A lot of things have happened. We had the debate last night, and Drudge and all of the different online polls—you know we were number one by far. In fact, we were in the 70th percentile. You get 71, 72, 68, 74—that means you did well. We like that.
But you know, in terms of debates, I think we’ve had enough, right? I mean, how many times can you ask and answer the same question? I hear there’s another one coming up, and I’ll tell you what: the networks are doing so well with them, they won’t give them up for anything. They’re like gold.
Four years ago, those debates didn’t sell too well—nobody watched. They weren’t doing well, and the networks didn’t even want to do them. Actually, the government forced them to take the debates. Now they’re fighting and fighting—they want more debates! And I said, “You know what folks, we’ve had enough.”
We just want to win.
Tomorrow’s a big, big day. You gotta get out and vote. No matter what you’re doing—no matter how you feel—if you feel so sick, if your doctor says you’re not going to make it through the day, you’ll be dead within four hours—doesn’t matter. Go out and vote. Leave yourself something. Leave a great mark in our country, even if you won’t be around for another few hours. Okay?
No seriously—it's a big day.
We have a movement going on, folks. Look at this—this big hangar! We have a movement going on like we haven’t seen—ever—in our country. You read the cover of Time Magazine from three weeks ago? We're doing things that have never been done politically in our country before.
It’s really been amazing. Really amazing.
I was in Maine yesterday—Maine looks good. Louisiana looks really good. I tell you, we have about a 20-point lead—20 points! So whatever you can do, you gotta get out there. Movements are no good if you lose, right?
Losing—Muhammad Ali was a friend of mine. Great guy. He would talk and talk—but he’d win. Okay? He’d win. I’ve seen guys that talk really well, athletes, fighters—they had a lot of talk, the great stuff—but they didn’t win. You don’t win, the talk doesn’t mean a thing.
I’d say, “Muhammad, be careful. This guy’s tough.” He’d say, “No, I’m the greatest!” And he was. But he won. That’s the difference.
So what we have is an amazing movement. But we’ve got to win. And we’ve got to win big—not just by a little—because we are really creating something very, very special.
And I’m just the messenger. Remember: I’m just the messenger. We’re in this together, folks.
[Applause]
You look at this—you look at this big hangar—we have a movement going on like we haven’t seen, they say, ever in our country. We’re doing things—you read the cover of Time Magazine from three weeks ago—we’re doing things that have never been done politically in our country before.
It’s really been amazing. Really been amazing.I was in Maine yesterday, and Maine looks good. Maine is looking really good. And Louisiana is looking really good. I tell you—we have about a 20-point lead. Twenty-point lead.So whatever you can do, you’ve got to get out there. Because, you know—movements are no good if you lose, right? Losing is… you know.
Muhammad Ali was a friend of mine. He’s a great guy. And he would talk and talk and talk—but he’d win, okay? He’d win. And I’ve seen guys that talk really well, and they get up, and they’d fight—and they talk—fighters, athletes—they had a lot of talk, they had great stuff—but they didn’t win.If you don’t win, the talk doesn’t mean a thing. Right?
I remember Muhammad. I’d say, “You know Muhammad, you gotta be a little cool—this guy’s tough—don’t talk too much.” He’d say, “Oh no, I’m the greatest!” Say: “I’m the greatest!” And when he knocked them out, it was fine.If you don’t win, though—you just can’t get there.
So what we have is—we have an amazing movement. But we’ve got to win. And we’ve got to win big—not just by a little bit. Because we are really creating something very, very special.
And I am just the messenger—remember: I am just the messenger. We’re in this together, folks. We’re in this together.
And you know, when you have guys like Romney, who had no idea how to win—that was a joke artist—and then he gets up, and he’s upset. He’s upset because when he sees this happening—he never had it happening with him. And then he gave up in the last month. He just gave up. It was a race that should have been won—remember that? And he gave up.
And now he comes on, and he’s not looking at me—he’s looking at all of us, okay?
We have had one of the greatest things politically to happen in many, many decades. Millions of people are going out to vote that never gave a damn before. True.
If you look at what’s happened—it doesn’t matter where. In South Carolina, in Nevada, in New Hampshire—you look at some of these states. You look at Alabama—how do we love Alabama, right?
Tennessee!
So we’re just sort of running the table. We’re doing great. And this is so important. You have this beautiful day. The world is going to be focused largely on Louisiana.
So let’s keep it going. Big league. And I will be toasting you tomorrow night—from wherever I’ll be. But we have something special. All the cameras are going—[Applause]—thank you, thank you, everybody, thank you.
Tonight we have a long time, right? It’s like, whatever day. You know, I’ve been doing this so, so I want to thank you all for being here. I made this trip sort of at the last moment. I said, “I want to get to Louisiana.” You’ve got to get to fantastic people. You know Willie Robertson—we love Willie, right? And Willie supported us. He endorsed us the other day, and I just want to thank Willie and his family. Great people. Great people.
So CNN just came out with a poll—[Applause]—Trump: 49%. Fantastic people. You know, Willie. Lying Ted Cruz: 15%. And Kasich: 6%. So there’s your poll.

Tomorrow’s a big, big day. You’ve got to get out and vote. You know you’ve got to get out and vote. Tomorrow is going to be big.
We want Louisiana—you have to be right up there in front. So just—no matter what you’re doing, no matter how you feel—even if you feel so sick, if your doctor says, “You’re not going to make it throughout the day, you’re going to be dead within four hours”—that doesn’t matter. Go out and vote. Leave yourself something. Leave a great mark in our country—even if you won’t be around for another few hours, okay?
