LAS VEGAS — An ebullient Donald Trump greeted his blowout win in the Nevada caucuses by mocking the idea that the Republican nomination could be anything but his.

Gone was the Trump who predicted he would "do very well" in New Hampshire and the Trump who would have been happy with a one-vote win in South Carolina. In the shadow of his namesake hotel, in a ballroom owned by a longtime friend, and propelled by an angry electorate hungry for an outsider to shake things up, Trump could even claim, at last, the victory he had long predicted among Nevada's Hispanics.


He concluded his victory over the rest of the Republican Party was only a matter of time -- and not much time at that.

“It’s going to be an amazing two months,” said Trump, flanked by his two adult sons, his campaign manager, his press secretary and his Nevada state director. “We might not even need the two months, folks, to be honest.”

Visualizing his conquest in detail, Trump name-checked the home states of his three remaining serious rivals as he hailed polling in primaries set for March 1 and the two big winner-take-all contests set for March 15.

“And we’ve had some great numbers coming out of Texas. And amazing numbers coming out of Tennessee and Georgia and Arkansas and then in a couple of weeks later, Florida. We love Florida. We're going to do very well in Ohio. We’re beating the governor,” Trump said, referring to John Kasich.

Inside the second-floor ballroom at Treasure Island on the Las Vegas strip, Trump also named-checked the building's owner, his friend and business partner, Phil Ruffin, as well as casino magnate Steve Wynn, whose properties lie directly across the street. Both men were on hand with their spouses to ring in the victory.

Surrounded by allies and riding his highest vote-share yet, the idea that Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz or Kasich could catch him sounded -- to Trump -- more desperate and ridiculous than ever.

Donald Trump's victory speech in Nevada

“Tonight we had 45, 46 percent and tomorrow you’ll be hearing, ‘You know if they could just take the other candidates and add them up, and if you could add them up, because you know the other candidates amount to 55 percent, so if they could just add,'" said Trump, imitating pundits and political analysts. "They keep forgetting that when people drop out we’re going to get a lot of votes.’”

The businessman was already thinking long past tomorrow, past the primary, and past the general election. “You're going to be proud of your president," he said. "And you’re going to be even prouder of your country.”

For Trump, the realization of his vision for the country had drawn closer than ever before. “Make America Great Again," he said. "We’re going to do it, and it’s going to happen fast.”
