Hillary Clinton is not the change candidate she claims to be, former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said Wednesday.

Barbour told Neil Cavuto on Fox News that Republican Donald Trump will beat Clinton in next Tuesday's presidential election if voters make their vote based on the issues.

"If this election is about issues, then Hillary Clinton's going to lose, because the American people want change," Barbour said. "She's trying to make the election about, 'I know you want change. But Donald Trump is unacceptable change.'

"Well, I got news for her. Hillary Clinton being the candidate of change is like me being the spokesman for weight watchers. It's not going anywhere."

Barbour, who served as Mississippi's chief executive from 2004-2012, said this election is boiling down to choices.

"I think millions of Republicans who, if Donald Trump is not their cup of tea, it wasn't their first choice, but they're down to this choice . . . they'd rather have Trump," Barbour said.
