Then he took a victory lap. Trump, addressing reporters at a news conference in Florida—instead of supporters as he typically does on election nights—painted himself as someone who was growing the Republican Party into a potent force that could defeat Clinton in November. He even sounded like a candidate looking toward the general election. “We have expanded the Republican Party,” Trump said. “I am a unifier. Our party is expanding, and all you have to do is take a look at the primary states where I’ve won. … I think we’re going to be more inclusive. I think we’re going to be more unified.” And he made clear he would hit Clinton hard on her use of a private email server if they meet in the general election. “If she’s allowed to run, honestly it’ll be a sad day for this country because what she did was wrong,” Trump said. “Other people have done far less than her and they have paid a very, very big price.” Watch the highlights above. ## Transcript [00:00] I am a unifier. Once we get all of this finished I'm [00:04] gonna go after one person, that's Hillary Clinton on the [00:06] assumption she's allowed to run. I watched Hillary's [00:09] speech and she's talking about wages have been poor, [00:12] and everything's poor, and everything's badly but [00:14] we're gonna make it. She's been there for so long. [00:16] [ LAUGH ] I mean, if she hasn't straightened it out by [00:19] now She's not gonna straighten it out in the next four [00:22] years. It's just gonna become worse and worse. She [00:24] wants to make America whole again and I'm trying to [00:27] figure out what is that all about. Make America great [00:30] again is gonna be much better than making America [00:32] whole again. They're declaring Marco Rubio the big [00:36] loser of the night, which is true. He didn't win anything. [00:39] He hasn't won anything period. And by the way, and I [00:41] have to tell, and he was very, very nasty. I've never [00:45] heard a person get up and speak on an evening like [00:47] this and be so nasty, but he's got a right to be nasty. [00:49] He hasn't won anything and he's not gonna win very [00:51] much. And I think, honestly, we've done something that [00:54] almost nobody thought could be done. And I'm very [00:57] proud of it. And I just want to leave you with this. I am [00:59] a unifier. I would love to see the Republican party [01:04] and everybody get together and unify. And when we [01:07] unify, is nobody, nobody that's gonna beat us. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4244264/super-tuesday-primary-results-donald-trump-victory-speech-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4244264/super-tuesday-primary-results-donald-trump-victory-speech-video/"},"headline":"Donald Trump Calls Himself a 'Unifier' in Super Tuesday Victory Speech","datePublished":"2016-03-02T04:58:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:49:32.917Z","description":"“We have expanded the Republican Party”","url":"https://time.com/4244264/super-tuesday-primary-results-donald-trump-victory-speech-video/","keywords":["Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0b4bad9b8a753eb4/69887fd9f887dc6e3de94db0/donald-trump-chris-christie-gop-republican-super-tuesday.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0b4bad9b8a753eb4/69887fd9f887dc6e3de94db0/donald-trump-chris-christie-gop-republican-super-tuesday.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, USA","caption":"Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks after being introduced by New Jersey Gov.
