Trump congratulated Bernie Sanders who beat Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primary.

"I heard parts of Bernie's speech, he wants to give away our country folks," Trump said as his supporters booed. "We're going to make America great again, but we're going to do it the old fashioned way."

Trump said he would end New Hampshire's opioid problem by building a wall at the Mexico-U.S. border.

"We're going to end it, we're going to end it at the southern border," Trump said. "It's going to be over."

Kasich finished in second place. Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush were battling for third.
