Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Sunday that he believes Donald Trump is actually helping Republicans by attracting more interest in the primary race.
“I think it’s getting very interesting and unlike a lot Republicans I think Trump is making it interesting,” Giuliani told on John Catsimatidis on his radioshow AM970 The Answer .Giuliani said he didn’t agree completely with his comments on Mexican immigrants but argued that “Trump has enlivened the race.”
He said more people will watch the first Republican debate in August because Trump is in it, and the massive audience will help any candidate that performs well.
“I think Trump is helping them in a way, unlike other Republicans. First of all that debate–the first week of August on Fox–because Trump is in that debate it’s going to get three times the audience. Which means, if anyone of these people performs well, they’ll be three times as many people who get affected by it than if Trump is not in the race.”
