Trump to Iowa Evangelicals: Hillary Clinton Will be Tough to Beat (Video)

Donald Trump told Iowa evangelical Christians gathered at the Family Leadership Forum he thinks former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton will be the Democrats' nominee – and a tough opponent for the GOP.

The next presidential contest -- with no incumbent -- will be a tougher race than the last election, billionaire Donald Trump said at Saturday's forum for Iowa evangelical Christians.

"Somebody is going to have to emerge who is really smart … the Republicans have to get it right. If they don’t find the right person – and I mean the right person – they are going to get drubbed in the 2016 election and that’s not a good thing. 

"This country has to be brought back from the edge," Trump continued. "There’s a point at which it’s going to be too late, and the Republicans have to get very tough and very smart, and they have to do it fast."
