Trump: With or without GOP support, 'I think that I win either way'

Donald Trump declared in an NBC interview Sunday he doesn't need the support of Republican leadership to win the general election. "It would be nice" if his party got behind him, the presumptive nominee said, but "I think that I win either way."

"I obviously won the primaries without them," Trump added. "You know, I'm an outsider and I won the primaries. I do believe that we can win either way, but it would be nice if we stuck together."

Previously, at a Saturday evening event in Las Vegas, Trump complained that Republican leaders are not helping him even "a little bit," and accused former candidate Jeb Bush of fomenting revolt among GOP convention delegates.
