In a freewheeling back-and-forth, Trump touched on his wins in multiple states and some recent issues in the presidential race. Here is the full transcript. --- > “” --- ## Transcript I am a unifier. Once we get all of this finished I'm gonna go after one person, that's Hillary Clinton on the assumption she's allowed to run. I watched Hillary's speech and she's talking about wages have been poor, and everything's poor, and everything's badly but we're gonna make it. She's been there for so long. [ LAUGH ] I mean, if she hasn't straightened it out by now She's not gonna straighten it out in the next four years. It's just gonna become worse and worse. She wants to make America whole again and I'm trying to figure out what is that all about. Make America great again is gonna be much better than making America whole again. They're declaring Marco Rubio the big loser of the night, which is true. He didn't win anything. He hasn't won anything period. And by the way, and I have to tell, and he was very, very nasty. I've never heard a person get up and speak on an evening like this and be so nasty, but he's got a right to be nasty. He hasn't won anything and he's not gonna win very much. And I think, honestly, we've done something that almost nobody thought could be done. And I'm very proud of it. And I just want to leave you with this. I am a unifier. I would love to see the Republican party and everybody get together and unify. And when we unify, is nobody, nobody that's gonna beat us. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4245134/super-tuesday-donald-trump-victory-speech-transcript-full-text/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4245134/super-tuesday-donald-trump-victory-speech-transcript-full-text/"},"headline":"Read Donald Trump's Super Tuesday Victory Speech","datePublished":"2016-03-02T18:42:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:49:33.618Z","description":"Here's the full text.","url":"https://time.com/4245134/super-tuesday-donald-trump-victory-speech-transcript-full-text/","keywords":["Donald Trump","2016 Election","Chris Christie","Super Tuesday"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt50f78bf37d723627/69887ff12dce01106a9e8063/donald-trump-move-to-canada.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ryan Teague Beckwith","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ryan-teague-beckwith/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt50f78bf37d723627/69887ff12dce01106a9e8063/donald-trump-move-to-canada.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald Trump Holds Super Tuesday Election Night Press Conf.
