In his latest interview with talk-host Michael Savage, Republican presidential primary front-runner Donald Trump was asked what he will do if the GOP establishment tries to "cut him out" of the nomination. Trump drew on his experience hosting prizefights, including 17 bouts featuring Mike Tyson.
"When the fighter goes into the other fighter's home territory, his home territory, they'll always say, the only way I'm going to win is, 'I gotta knock him out,'" he explained.
"The way you knock him out is to just win the primaries. If I win the primaries, if I can win in Iowa and win in New Hampshire and win in South Carolina, where I have very big leads, you know, there's nothing anybody can do, frankly."
A new Fox News poll has him beating Democrat front-runner Hillary Clinton in the general election, 47-44 percent.
Asked about his popularity with African-Americans, Trump pointed out some polls show him getting 25 percent of the vote in that demograhic.
He recalled an "announcer" remarking, "Well, wait a minute, if this is true, that means the election is over. Trump wins automatically."
Savage said he believes Trump will also do well among Hispanics, because of a "macho culture" that prefers male leadership.
While it's assumed that a tough stance on illegal immigration will erode support from Hispanics, Trump argued Hispanics don't want people coming into the country illegally and taking their jobs. He pointed to a Quinnipiac poll released Monday has him ahead in Iowa, which means he has the lead in every state, according to some polls.
"We're doing well, and people want to see something happen," he said.
He said he hates to use the term "change," because it was Obama's campaign theme in 2008.

Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again
Everyone should read this book and then give it to an undecided friend
An Amazon review
Awesome book and perfect antidote for the âTrump has no ...â¨By N. Haug on November 3, 2015â¨Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchaseâ¨Awesome book and perfect antidote for the âTrump has no specificsâ lie. Trump, if anything, is the ultimate pragmatist, he wants results and uses common sense to D.C.âs troubles.
Subjects covered include taxes, education, immigration, foreign policy, military, veterans, trade, jobs and much more.â¨The solutions presented are not ideological, but really common sense that seems to evade D.C. and the press. What impressed me most is how Trump comes across: Honest, really loves America and wants to genuinely fix the broken system. And with his extensive success in the business world, I believe h
Even a casual review of the extreme Cruz supporters (and I support Cruz AND Trump) shows that they brought on the current state of affairs. I have had nothing negative to say about Ted Cruz, I have taken issue with some of his strategy, but I would be more than ok pulling the lever for him.
Trump supporters did not go looking for a fight with Cruz supporters, and my esteemed FRiends DoughtyOne and StephenJohnBanker can tell you all about that.
As for the “other candidates”, to hell with them. My tagline (for this post) explains that perfectly.
Look at Hillary....campaigning to vaginas, fornicators, abortionists, ethnicities, skin colors, chaos, anarchy....and all the Foundation donors she and Bill are beholden to, waiting for payback.
Either that or NBC told him to shut up. If it is a choice between ratings and Ramos, they will choose ratings all day long.
RIP GOPe, you won’t be missed.
âNotice how the Chamber folks and their allies have stopped talking about a ââ¬Åbrokered conventionââ¬Â?â
.....Yep. I have heard nothing about it lately.”..........
Perhaps the bastards are using some of Trump’s tactics like, “Never tell them what you’re planning”, “Don’t give up your advantage”.
“Trump supporters did not go looking for a fight with Cruz supporters, and my esteemed FRiends DoughtyOne and StephenJohnBanker can tell you all about that.”
The reality is that many Cruz supporters are telling outright LIES about Trump. I don’t see the same vitriol and lies coming from the Trump folks. Sure there are some Trump people unfairly portraying Cruz, but no nearly as many. Let’s hope everyone calms down a bit here.
The only problem I have with Cruz is he is on the Cheap Labor Express. He want to increase the H-1B visa quota 5 fold. I can never forgive him for that.
“The only problem I have with Cruz is he is on the Cheap Labor Expressâ¢. He want to increase the H-1B visa quota 5 fold. I can never forgive him for that.”
This is EXACTLY my problem with Cruz, and it is a deal killer for me. Our country will live or die on stopping legal and illegal immigration, and on deporting the 20-30 million illegals here. Tens of millions of Americans who want to work, are out of work. Both parties are CRIMINALS in this regard!
Next time someone tries to hang Trump on charitable giving, remind them of this.
He was in good company.....these ‘good’ conservatives also gave $$ or their time to promote the Clinton Foundation/initiative.

Many Republican Party-affiliated individuals have attended and supported Clinton Foundation-affiliated events, including the annual Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) meetings. They include former first lady Laura Bush, Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch, former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Sen. John McCain, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, Republican billionaire T. Boone Pickens, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former Bush Treasury secretary Hank Paulson, and former first daughter Barbara Bush.
Romney spoke to CGI in the middle of his 2012 presidential campaign and praised President Clinton for having “devoted himself to lifting the downtrodden around the world. One of the best things that can happen to any cause, to any people, is to have Bill Clinton as its advocate.”
McCain spoke to CGI in September 2008 during his own presidential run, and also praised its efforts, stating: “You know something about great change at the Clinton Global Initiative, because you are striving every day to bring it about. I thank each one of you for the good work you have done to relieve suffering across the earth, and to spread hope. I thank you for the even greater works that you seek to accomplish in the years to come, under the leadership of the man from Hope.”
Laura Bush appeared at CGI in 2006 and said she was “delighted to be a part of this year’s Clinton Global Initiative. Thank you for inviting me, and thank you for the terrific development work you’re doing through your foundation.”

I don’t like this source either, but there are plenty of others. Facts are facts no matter where you find them.
Thank you for your detailed analysis of FACTS.
God bless you.
Say it, L.L.!
I’M GONNA KNOCK YOU OUT!
MAMA SAID, ‘KNOCK YOU OUT!’
He has!
Cruz is my #2. I get tired of being called. “Liar” by nameless Freepers because I happen to think Pres. Cruz would be far, far less effective than Pres. Trump.
Your are right. Trump would be much more effective than anyone.
;-)
” I get tired of being called. âLiarâ by nameless Freepers because I happen to think Pres. Cruz would be far, far less effective than Pres. Trump.”
You are correct. There is really no comparison in leadership ability or experience. For 35 years, Trump has successfully commanded an army of employees, and has dealt with politicians from cities, counties, state and federal. Not even in the same ball park.
