6. I can't stand listening to him

so pretty much it all goes right by me. But on its face, it makes absolutely no sense for any candidate to tell their people that he doesn't need their votes. He said he already had the votes. And all Rachel does is point this out. He is saying something which doesn't make sense. But he does seem to be implying that he does not need their votes to win.
