Donald Trump comments on the change of electorate since he entered the race and what would happen to that voting bloc if "for some reason" he's out of the race. On Tuesday's broadcast of Morning Joe, Trump complained he doesn't get credit from the Republican party for attracting millions of new voters, "instead they take out ads against me."



"If for some reason I'm out, you will lose millions and millions of potential voters out of the Republican Party and I don't think there's any track -- any way that the Republicans can win," Trump said on Morning Joe:





SCARBOROUGH: Donald, does it make it less likely that you can make peace with the establishment after this is all over, because they are spending so much money in attack ads specifically directed at you?



TRUMP: Well, you know, I have always gotten along with along with people, I think you understand that. I have always gotten along; I've had great relationships with people over the years.



And I -- you know, I've had feuds and I've had fights with people and I have been able to get along. We'll have to see. I think we can.



The bottom line is, you know, the biggest story in politics is how many people are showing up to these primaries. I mean, you know, there are 50, 60, 70 percent, millions of additional people over four years ago. Four years ago, they were dying, the Republicans, and now it's been energized. And you know, instead of being given credit, they take ads against me. And I will tell you, if I am out -- if for some reason I'm out, you will lose millions and millions of potential voters out of the Republican Party and I don't think there's any track -- any way that the Republicans can win.



Frankly, if you take all of these new energized people -- people come up to me, "Mr. Trump, I've never voted before," 40, 50 years old, "I've never voted before. This is the first time in my life I've voted. I'm so honored to vote." You have to see these people. They're incredible. They've never voted before, many of them and -- and others. They're coming from the Democrats, they're coming from the -- from the independents.



You know, it's the biggest story in politics what's happening with the Republicans and I've done a great job and I'm not being given credit, instead they take ads against me. And you know, the funny thing is if they're successful and if I don't win, all these people are going away, Joe, these millions and millions of people. They're not going to vote for Rubio, they're not going to vote for Ted Cruz.



SCARBOROUGH: Well, you -- if -- if they -- if they take this from you at a convention, will you run as an independent?



TRUMP: I don't know, Joe. I don't even want to think about it now. I mean, to be honest, I'm the front runner by quite a bit. CNN had me at 49 the other day, 49 to 15, I think 15 and 15 for the two of these guys. I hear Rubio is getting out. There was big stories all over the place that Rubio is getting out. I don't know if he's getting out. He probably should. He hasn't won hardly anything. He probably should get out and he's not popular. I mean, he's not popular in his own state.

"Millions of people have joined, but the establishment wants to throw that right out the window, because if I get out, all those people are coming with me," Trump threatened last week
