Trump thinks he'll face Joe Biden in the general election


Breitbart News, which recently conducted a "wide-ranging interview" with Donald Trump "in his office on the 26th floor of the Trump Tower," reports that Trump envisions himself going head to head against Vice President Joe Biden in the general election. "I think Hillary has got huge problems right now," Trump added.
In his interview with Breitbart — which, according to BuzzFeed, may be favorably covering Donald Trump in return for money — Trump went on to compare Clinton to disgraced former Gen. David Petraeus.
"What she's done is 10 times worse than what Gen. Petraeus did — far more sensitive documents, top-of-the-line sensitive documents, far more of them," Trump said, comparing Clinton's email scandal to Petraeus providing classified information to his mistress while serving as the director of the CIA. "What she did is 10 times worse. It destroyed him, so I don't see how she’s going to possibly be able to run. It’s pretty conclusive right now, too."
