Donald Trump said Thursday that Republicans wary of his campaign have little choice but to vote for him anyway.
"If
you really like Donald Trump, that's great, but if you don't, you have
to vote for me anyway. You know why? Supreme Court judges, Supreme Court
judges," Trump said at a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
"Have
no choice, sorry, sorry, sorry. You have no choice," Trump continued,
calling the late Justice Antonin Scalia a "great guy" and acknowledging
tied decisions at the Supreme Court after his death.
Trump
said the next president "will probably have three, could be four, could
even be five" appointments to make to the Supreme Court, alluding to
the ages of senior justices.
Trump dismissed critics who speculate he may appoint liberal judges and said if Hillary Clinton appoints judges: "You're going to end up with another Venezuela. You're going to be Venezuela."
Senate
Republicans have denied hearings and a vote on President Obama's
Supreme Court pick to fill the seat vacated by the death of Scalia in
February, arguing the next president should make the pick.
Trump
scheduled his rally Thursday night to counteract speeches in the final
night of the Democratic National Convention, where Clinton will
officially accept her party's nomination.
