Trump: 'I'm not getting out'
THE HILL ^ | OCTOBER 6, 2015 - 7:46AM EDT | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 10/06/2015 5:28:53 AM PDT by onyx


Real estate tycoon Donald Trump insisted Tuesday that he was nowhere near ending his 2016 White House bid, despite slipping a bit in some polls.

"Not even a thought, not even 1 percent of the thought," Trump said during a phone interview broadcast on CNN's "New Day."

"Why would I get out?" Trump asked, pointing out that he is still leading polls for the Republican presidential nomination. "I'm not going anywhere."

Trump has suggested in several interviews that he may end his White House bid if he dropped into the low single digits, like several other candidates in the field.

"The media is so dishonest, it's so disgusting," Trump said of how his remarks were interpreted in coverage of his campaign. "I'm not getting out. I'm going to win."



Immediately following the interview, Trump retweeted two supporters who called CNN’s Chris Cuomo and his questions “pathetic.”

"@LindaRicker6: My choice @realDonaldTrump just finished a great interview on CNN. Pathetic questions from Cuomo but Trump cleared the air."— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 6, 2015

"@Lisa_Steen: seriously Cuomo hates DonaldTrump he was a pathetic interviewer AS USUAL! Please don't go anywhere Mr Trump AMERICA NEEDS YOU"— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 6, 2015




Trump, who has led in the polls for more than two months, saw his lead shrink in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire in polling released Sunday.

The businessman saw his 16-point lead over his nearest rival get cut to 5 points in New Hampshire, according to NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polling.

He is also leading by just 5 points in Iowa, besting neurosurgeon Ben Carson there 24 to 19 percent, compared to a 7-point lead last month.

Trump Sez. What has he done other than talk about being “severely conservative”? Like say, where has he ever worked to shrink government, just over the last four years?

Let’s just drop his views on marriage. Clearly his serial monogamy and trophy wifeism makes him more conservative than Bill Clinton. I mean if his last name were McCain would we really be having this conversation?

LOL. People say that Trump has no military experience, but I say the biggest battle we have is with the media.

Roger that.

From Agitprop through Triumph of the Will up to and including President Phone-and-a-Pen, propaganda is the battlefield pitting Freedom versus Tyranny.

Virtually everything Trump says in public without fear, are the conservative viewpoints we have all been thinking for years and wishing someone would articulate for us. Trump has. He is conservative enough on all the major issues that count. He’ll get my vote and votes from million of others. All hail President Trump.

Trump has built a company with assets of $10,000,000,000.
What have “conservative” politicians done?

Obamcare scrapped?
Illegals deported?
Wall built?
Anchor babies outlawed?
Abortion restricted?
National debt reduced?
China trade deficit reduced?
Food stamp growth curbed?
Welfare growth reduced?

Nothing! Zero! Zilch! Shunya!!

Career politicians are all talk and no action.
They simply obey their rich donors, ordering them
to expand foreign workers with H1-B visa’s, to
increase profits with the cheap labor express.

A new American Caesar.

Farewell republic. Conservatives murdered you to elect a NY Democrat who talks conservative enough.

Trump underperformed as a businessman versus the standard measure the US stock market which appreciated an average of 10.4% over 43 years since he got the $100 million+ from his dad.

The Trumps have been political insiders since the 1930s in NY and in DC since the 50s. He’s not who he is pretending to be.

Before you condemn conservative politicians, tell me what Trump’s done conservatively that Democrats haven’t? What actions has this master marketer taken?

He cares so much that he won’t spend a penny of that $400 million annual income (which I don’t believe BTW) on the very causes he says are his most critical. His goal is to elect a Democrat. He’ll do that with the help of “conservatives”.

Biden will jump is, as the plan is for Obama and Jarrett to pull the strings and feed him the lines to say, like a marionette, so that the TPP and other NWO treaties that NEED 6 YEARS to have other language inserted for anything a sitting POTUS wants to throw in it can ‘ripen’ with as much unconstitutional crap as possible. Then, Biden can have a stroke or some such and have to retire gracefully, while Fauxcahontas rolls on, strings and all, continuing the treaty-cementing such that the United States of America ceases to exist...while Obama and Jarrett sit back and gladly pay themselves their due: offshore accounts, private islands, hookers, boys, girls, hazarra/bacha boys and all. Maybe they’ll have permanent homes in Tehran, in Shiraz or the mountains outside Baku.

And us? US? You think global communist Muslims will give a fu$king freckle about what they’ve done? Or that the free sh#! army from the 3rd world inner cities will give a care?

All those Democrat. Will Just. Laugh. Their. Asses. Off. Rinos. Too.

Perot dropped out when he was leading.

Of course that was because the plan wasn’t to win but to elect Clinton.

1. Build the Wall
2. Deport Illegals
3. Deport Muslim refugees from Syria(?) imported by Buraq Hussein.

Those are my main requirements. Everything else pales in comparison over long term degradation of country caused by those 3 items. I made my money by choosing urgent priorities. It works every time.

The “conservatives” do not resonate with voters. They have never been in majority in congress and only 1 president in 100 years can be called somewhat conservative, even though he was once a democrat union operative, divorced and increased national debt by a large percentage.

Since I live my life in reality, I will support those who resonate with voters and have 3 items in their agenda:

1. Build the Wall
2. Deport ALL illegals
3. Deport Muslim refugees from Syria(?).

Only 1 candidate is offering me that agenda.

That’s how I see it too.

Look, Trump is not perfect. Name on of them that is.

He can get elected and will get elected.

His stated platform is good.

I realize he hasn’t been a died in the wool Conservative in all ways. That will haunt us at times. He still has a good serious love of this nation. I think he’ll do good work for us.

Why don’t you just cut to the chase and tell us what you don’t like about his platform.

(this ought to be good)

Hey 1010RD. Tell ya what. Several of us have been here years prior to you and some of us actually know one another in person, but we know nothing about you and your FReeper page is void of personal info, so rather than us satisfy your concerns and questions, how about you answering some of ours like D-1 suggested?

For starter’s:
Do you reside in a Red or Blue state? Are you either within 5 years or Social Security age? Male or Female, Married, Single, Divorced, Widowed? Occupation? Retired? Military, Ever?

I’d like you to know that I linked folks in only because you had made your comments to them.

It wasn’t my intention to bring a swarm of people into our discussion, to gang up on you.

If you’d rather not discuss this, I’ll understand no hard feelings.

Take care.
