Donald Trump thinks a general election matchup with Hillary Clinton would draw record voter turnout

Coming off of a big win in Saturday's South Carolina Republican primary, frontrunner Donald Trump said he's got the nomination locked up. He's already looking ahead to the general election, he said Sunday on CNN's State of the Union.

"I'll win states that aren't in play," Trump said. "I'll win states that Republicans don't even think of."

The billionaire business mogul also seemed confident the Democratic nominee will be Hillary Clinton, who won the Nevada caucuses on Saturday. Together, Trump said, they'll draw "the greatest turnout in history."
