"It's the person that got away. The old days, it was a little different than to it," Trump said referring to the GOP's inability to win earlier.

Pointing to the media, Trump said he would use the original phrase, except for the media. "I would do it except for these people up there. They would say, did you hear what Trump said? Did you hear what he said?" he said imitating reporters.

"So, there is an expression, but we'll change the expression. was always the person that got away. That's pretty good," he said amidst applause from the audience.
