American tycoon Donald Trump believes that only the 'perfect candidate' can defeat presumed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2016 election.

He added that that candidate could end up being 'Donald Trump'.

He believes it's too early to make a decision about 2016, but added that fighting within the GOP needs to stop if the party hopes to recapture the White House.

According to the Washington Times, he added that internal disputes with the party, if allowed to continue and grow deeper, could be the GOP's undoing in 2016.

He said that unless they get together and things really happen for the better, the Republican Party is going to have a hard time, probably against Hillary.

 

Trump said they need the perfect candidate, adding that if the Republicans are going to win, they've got to stop the division.

Clinton is widely expected to run for president in 2016, and many political analysts and pundits believe she'll capture her party's nomination, the report added.
