Billionaire oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens said he doesn’t think Hillary Clinton is physically fit enough to be the next president, and maintained she likely won’t be the Democratic Party’s 2016 presidential nominee.
His remarks came during an interview Tuesday with NewsmaxTV’s Steve Malzberg.
“You don’t think Hillary, if I hear you right, is going to be the nominee?” the show’s host asked.
“I’ve said that for two years,” the businessman answered.
Pickens, who revealed in the interview he recently offered GOP front-runner Donald Trump tips on oil and economic policy, added he doesn’t think Clinton’s chief rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., will be the Democratic nominee either.
“I think it’ll either be Joe Biden or John Kerry,” he said.
“Why? Will Hillary be indicted beforehand you think?” Malzberg asked, referring to the ongoing scandal surrounding her use of a private email server when she served at the State Department.
“She seems to be on her way to get the number of delegates,” he added.
Pickens replied, “I think she’ll get the delegates, but I just haven’t felt — I don’t think she’s physically up to it. But that’s not going to eliminate her. It’ll be some other reason. I just don’t think that she will ever hear the starter’s gun.”
Trump will not only win the Republican presidential primary, he added, but the casino tycoon will also win the White House.
