Donald Trump says he's no "masochist" -- so if one day he finds himself plummeting in the polls, he'd drop out of the Republican presidential race.
Right now there's no reason to go anywhere: The real estate mogul has consistently led national GOP polls for months.
But in an interview with CNBC's John Harwood, he said he'd drop out of the 2016 campaign if he found himself alongside Republican contenders who are struggling to get off the ground.
"Well, I'm not a masochist," Trump said. "Right now I'm leading every poll, and in most cases big. That's good. If that changed, if I was like some of these people at 1% and 2%, there's no reason to continue forward. If I fell behind badly, I would certainly get out."
He said he isn't planning to return to his business empire soon....

hear that Karl? You’ve got your work cut out for ya
WELL....I certainly never expected something like that from TRump. Of course, I don’t think he’ll ever get down to 1 or 2 percent, so just what is the subtext here?
He’s telegraphing to the bottom dwellers to simply get out already.
Graham, Jindal, Gilmore...
So I suppose now we will get a slew of even more phony polls showing Trump “crashing”???
Implication: if you’re at 1 or 2% and haven’t dropped out...you’re a masochist.
HINT, HINT, HINT... LOL
No subtext, he was offering some free advice to a certain group of Republican Contenders.
It is going to be Trump/Cruz
Diversionary tactics
Trump calls it "being unpredictable"
Good for hundreds of column inches and hours of free MSM discussions.
“It is going to be Trump/Cruz.”

Yep.
It sure seems that way.I really want them to band together and wear out the rinos.

Part of Trump getting down to one or two percent is getting this FReeper to no longer support him.
It’s possible - at the beginning, I supported Walker. Then I learned a bit more about Walker...and I dropped him like a hot potato.
I’m not sure there’s much more for me to learn about Trump, but to borrow a line from H. Ross Perot - I’m all ears.
