EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Anyway, so I fixed that. Nobody thought it was fixable and I fixed it. But even without that, I think we would’ve gotten the bill passed. With it, I think a lot of Democrats have to vote. I saw that a couple of Democrats said, 'I would like to be in charge of...' — I don’t know if you saw that. You have a couple of people that go on your show, that I assume are moderate Democrats, without mentioning names. Both of them said, 'I don’t know about you, but I think I’m going to be voting for this bill.' I think a lot of Democrats are going to be forced to vote for the bill because, you know, you add this element that if this bill passes, you will get a 50 to 90% reduction in prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals. When you add that in, how does a Democrat not vote? I don’t think they can win an election if they don’t vote for it. But even if you don’t include it, I think that the Republicans are very unified and something would happen where they will get this vote. I think it’s imperative they vote."
