Rudy Giuliani says he's voting for Donald Trump because he's a 'negotiator'

Donald Trump already has the vote of at least one New Yorker secured. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani revealed to The New York Post Thursday that he's planning to vote for the Republican presidential frontrunner in the state's upcoming April 19 primary.

"I support Trump. I'm gonna vote for Trump," Giuliani said, adding that while he doesn't necessarily support all of Trump's positions, he knows that he's a negotiator. "He negotiates from a high bar to get people’s attention. Threatening to withdraw from NATO will get a better deal with NATO," Giuliani said.

Giuliani is pretty sure New York's Republicans are on his page, too. He thinks it's hardly a question of whether Trump will win the state's Republican primary. "It's a question of how much he gets over 50 percent," Giuliani said.
