Donald Trump has said the 2016 general elections is the last chance for the Republican party to win presidential elections because undocumented migrants "legalised" under a Hillary Clinton presidency will give Democrats an electoral advantage in future elections.

"I think this will be the last election if I don't win," Trump told the Christian Broadcasting Network's "Brody File" in an interview yesterday.

"I think this will be the last election that the Republicans have a chance of winning because you're going to have people flowing across the border, you're going to have illegal immigrants coming in and they're going to be legalised and they're going to be able to vote and once that all happens you can forget it," he said.

"You're not going to have one Republican vote. And it's already a hard number. Already the path is much more difficult for the Republicans. You just have to look at the maps," Trump said.

"I think it's going to be the last election that the Republicans can win. If we don't win this election, you'll never see another Republican and you'll have a whole different church structure. You'll have a whole different Supreme Court structure," he said.

In his interview, Trump said he wants to win the election for the evangelicals.

"I do want to win for the evangelicals because they have been so supportive of me. You know that better than anybody. They have been so totally supportive of me and I'm going to win for the evangelicals among many others," he said.

"We want to win for jobs, we want to win for strong military and for the vets, we want to protect our Second Amendment but I want to win for the evangelicals because they have been so good to me," Trump said.

Responding to a question, Trump called Clinton a "bad person" and alleged that she would be a "disaster" for evangelicals.

"Win. That's all I want to do. I want to win. She's a bad person. She's a person has done a horrible job. Her judgement is flawed," he said.

"As for as the evangelicals are concerned, you can just forget it. She would actually be a disaster," Trump said.

"Hillary Clinton is unfit to be President, for many reasons, the biggest of which her judgement is so bad," Trump said in his address to the Values Voters summit.

"Our enemies probably hacked into Hillary Clinton's emails. These are the same emails she destroyed after receiving a federal subpoena -- using a software called bleachbit. She even mysteriously lost 13 different phones before the FBI could get them - some were even destroyed with a hammer," he said.

"The other night in the Commander-in-Chief forum, Hillary Clinton answered questions on her emails horribly - it seems with each week, she has a different answer. But there can be no answer when she deletes 33,000 emails, bleaches them so they can never be recovered, an unheard of practice, and then hammers her phones into total silence," Trump said.
