RUSH: By the way, Trump says that he would get out of the race if he falls behind in the polls.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Anyway, on this Trump business, this is a story from the New York Post. "Sinking poll numbers would be the one thing to force Donald Trump out of the presidential campaign, he said Thursday. Asked whether he’d quit if he could no longer boast he’s 'leading in every poll,' Trump told CNBC: 'Well, I’m not a masochist. If I fell behind badly, I would certainly get out. I’m in this for the long haul.' The RealClearPolitics average of recent national polls has Trump at 23 percent, ahead of Ben Carson’s 16 percent. They are followed by Carly Fiorina (12 percent)," blah, blah, you know the deal.
This is not a good thing for Trump to say. I mean, we were just talking about institutions that have been corrupted. I mean, all the Rubio pollsters have to do or anybody else's pollsters is show a poll that shows Trump's dropped five points and keep going 'til he's behind somebody. I don't know about this. But that's what he said.
Qualifier: Trump said he’d go back to his business world, if like several current candidates, he was HANGING between 0 and 4%.
He’s a long ways from there. Let’s not rush him.
