Donald Trump confident of winning Republican nomination

February 21, 2016 21:24

Controversial Republican front-runner Donald Trump exuded confidence that he was on his way to win the party's presidential nomination, defying the projection of political pundits who have been "wrong forever".

"So far, I'm really on my way," Trump said after he netted back to back wins in South Carolina and New Hampshire following a close second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.

Trump's win gave him a critical burst of momentum heading into Nevada's Republican caucuses on Tuesday.

When asked if a strong opposition inside the party against him would result in a brokered convention in Cleveland, Ohio in July, Trump said he doesn't think "we're going to have a brokered convention. I think it is unlikely."

Trump said it was only the political pundits who were saying that he would not win the presidential nomination. "I think most of the smart people are saying there's not going to be a convention. Interestingly, the ones who say

there's going to be a convention, usually, they are the pundits that have been wrong forever, the ones that have been wrong about me," he said.
