Donald Trump Blasts NBC During Live 'Today' Show Interview [Puts anchor on the defensive]

Donald Trump put NBC’s “Today” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie on the defensive Monday during a live telephone interview when he called the network out for promoting a CNN poll over an NBC poll because the billionaire had a smaller margin in the CNN survey. The exchange occurs at minute 4:36 of the 5:35-minute interview.

“The only poll you didn't put up was the NBC poll where I'm way at the top, I’m much more than double,” said Trump. “I don't understand why NBC is using a CNN poll, which was also a good poll, I'm leading by a lot.

“Why aren't you talking about your own poll? Why are you showing a CNN poll, which is very good, but not as good as the one you put up yesterday?” Guthrie acknowledged that “I should have mentioned the NBC poll by name.”

Trump didn’t let it go. “You put up the CNN poll, you didn't put up NBC poll and you’re the ones that are paying for the NBC poll so I don't get it other than in the NBC poll is a very good poll for Trump.”

The CNN poll, conducted in the days after the second Republican debate, found that Trump continues to lead the pack of GOP presidential candidates, but that he dropped eight points, going from 32 percent support to 24 percent. In that same poll, Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina jumped from 3 percent to 15 percent.

In the NBC poll, Trump’s margin over Fiorina was much larger (29 percent to Fiorina’s 11 percent) and the billionaire gained 7 points from a month earlier when that poll showed him with 22 percent support of Republicans and independents.

If Trump is Not the nominee (with exception of Cruz) it will be a huge disappointment. Anybody else is just going to be like all the others.

Well said, we are sick of wusses like the bushes. We want a warrior and a wrecking ball to bring the prison walls of socialism down on their filthy heads.

Trump doesn’t take any crap. That’s why I like him. He is real, and says it like it is!

“think Savannah was wet after this was over?”

Probably in the wrong areas after Trump refused to fall for her pushing the Communist News Network poll.

Yeah, Savannah, who in NBC told you not to use NBC’s poll?

“Trump missed an opportunity with George Stephanopoulos over the weekend, when asked about Barack’s religion.

...Trump said Barack could defend himself.”

Trump handled it perfectly. That is why he is decimating his opponents on tv and in the polls and people, who don’t understand what is happening are posting potshots on blogs.

He knows we want to see a candidate that’s AGGRESSIVE as h*11, especially against the perfumed, expensively quaffed, botox saturated metrosexual pretty boys of the media.

He should have told him that he once heard Barack Obama refer to his "muslim religion".

If you seek out the transcript, you'll see that there is NO way that OMuslim could have been referring to his "Christian" religion by mistake.

The Uniparty Media covered up a blatant admission by Obama in that interview.

Refreshing, isn’t it

Guthrie. Just another pretty no-nothing liberal face.

As I have said before, I would put more faith in a stripper’s pole than an NBC, CBS or CNN poll.
