Giuliani: Momentum, Enthusiasm Will Carry Trump to the Finish Line

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is confident Donald Trump can, and will win the election, despite Hillary Clinton's campaign ground team.

"I'm quite happy because what I saw yesterday, it tells me that we have the enthusiasm to win," Giuliani said on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program Tuesday morning, referring to his time campaigning with Trump on Monday.

"The enthusiasm is over the top, and I think that's going to pull them in, the difference in enthusiasm between her and him. She has to manufacture it with Beyoncé, and this one and that one and he has it because the people really want him."

"It's the momentum vs the machine," host Steve Doocy added.

"Yeah. That's a good way to put it. She's got the machine. The machine can get out a certain number of votes, but there's nothing that beats the fact that somebody wants to come and vote for you and really is willing to wait on line as these people were," the former mayor replied.

"I mean, we had 5,000 people outside in Michigan last night after 12:30 in the morning. I mean, that's crazy.

"When they talk about ground game, the so-called experts say the ground game is not big crowds, it's a willingness to knock on doors and get people out in a big way to get to the polls and actually vote. Does it worry you that this unorthodox campaign can't execute on the last day?"

According to Giuliani, Trump has "a much better ground game than people think. Every headquarters I was in was overwhelmed with volunteers and it didn't seem like there was a phone that wasn't being manned by someone."

So their ground game may be better, but it's not as if we don't have a ground game," he continued. "To me, if I had to pick between ground game and people wildly enthusiastic about me? I would pick people wildly enthusiastic about me because then nobody has to come and call them.

"Nobody has to come and drag them to the polls. If they are going to wait in the cold for four hours to come and see me, you sure to heck are going to be pretty confident they are going to come out and vote for you," he added.
