Donald Trump said Saturday that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will soon be old news, but has spoken more truth than his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.

"Our crowds are much bigger than Bernie, by the way," Trump told supporters at a rally in Bridgeport, Conn., on Saturday. "But Bernie did make a couple of statements. Should I read the statements? Because in a month people are going to forget about Bernie. They're going to say 'Who is Bernie? Who the hell is he?'"

"Unless Hillary gets indicted, in which case Bernie will win," Trump added.

Clinton leads Sanders in pledged delegates 1,446 to 1,202. She leads 502-38 among so-called superdelegates. To win the nomination, Sanders would have to win 73 percent of the remaining pledged delegates. That would be a massive upset according to polls that show Clinton positioned to win Tuesday primaries in states like Pennsylvania and Maryland that award the most delegates.

As it looks increasingly likely that Clinton will be Democratic nominee, Trump has ratcheted up his attacks on Clinton, who polls show beating him in a general election matchup.

"Bernie said that she's not qualified to be president," Trump said. "But I'll tell you one time when he was right, and they're not happy with what Bernie said. He said she suffers from bad judgment."
