Trump: ‘I Want To Thank The Special Interests and The Lobbyists’ For Driving My Numbers
Breitbart ^ | 03/09/16 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 03/09/2016 5:16:47 AM PST by Enlightened1

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sarcastically thanked “the special interests and the lobbyists” for driving his numbers up at a press conference in Jupiter, FL on Tuesday.

Trump began by saying, “One of the things I’m most happy about is that the turnout has been just massive, for every week. … No matter where you go, it’s records. I think it’s actually the single biggest story in politics today. It’s what’s happening at the booth. The tremendous number of people that are coming out to vote. Some of the states are getting — in fact, one has 102% increase over four years ago. It’s amazing. 102%. On average, you’re talking about probably more than 50. You’re talking about millions and millions of people, whereas the Democrats are down 30, 35%. they’re down from what they were. We’re up by 50%, and even more than that. You’re talking about millions of people. So, I actually think it’s the biggest story in politics today. And I hope that the republicans will embrace it. We have — don’t forget, we have Democrats coming over, very importantly. We have independents coming over, and they haven’t done that ever, probably ever. And with all of these people coming over, we’re going to have something very, very special. If I win, and if I get to go against Hillary, polls are showing that I beat her. And some of the polls have me beating her easily, because when you take advantage, we will take many, many people away from the Democrats.”

The Mitt Romney endorsement helped Trump a lot.

[Yes, I know Mitt endorsed Rubio; that’s what helped Trump so much.]

I bet the smoke was coming out of the RNC/GOPe’s ears for hours after that! Good.

Can anyone say ‘tsunami’?

....Utah’s percentage of Mormons is more than double the proportion in any other state: Idaho ranks second with 24 percent of its residents belonging to Mormon church. And 4 percent to 5 percent of Nevadans are Mormon.....

Beck and Romney combined with their Mormon brothers and wives to get the Idaho win. Not many states left where either will have influence

Let's face it. If the GOPe strategy of the last 12 years had been working, Obama wouldn't have gotten a second term. In Trump parlance, the entire GOPe leadership is a bunch of losers.

They don't know how to win, and they don't know how to handle themselves when they stumble into a win.

We vote to give Congress to the Republicans to stop Obama, and what do they do? Give him practically everything he asks for.

When it comes to leading this country, we're tired of Democratic Socialism. The Democrats embrace it, and the GOPe won't stand up to it.

We'll find another way. Thank you.

I laughed when I saw that and then I saw Cruz state that he has no problem with a contested convention and now it is clear after taking bush on his team and now saying this that he is doing the establishment bidding to stop trump.

Very happy I switched my vote from Cruz to Trump after seeing that last night.

I think their strategy was working very well.

They are only there to keep conservatives in check.

GOPe = Democratic Operatives

That “press conference” is hilarious. It certainly does serve to dismantle Romney’s integrity. And not only that, Romney gave Trump the opportunity to hawk the Trump brand for free!

It's true ... Trump's most appealing attribute is that he is hated equally by both the liberal democrats and the liberal republicans. It is reason enough for me to support him, though I still favor Cruz's far more conservative positions. Ideally we need Trump's populism and Cruz's conservatism; wish we could have both.

The shots he took at people last night were pretty good - more humorous than ‘nasty’ (while still taking no guff) and I think it played well - certainly had me smiling & laughing out loud a couple of times.

“Very happy I switched my vote from Cruz to Trump after seeing that last night.”

I could understand that. I am still in favor of Cruz, but my state has already voted so I will wait for the general to cast my vote. It will go to the Republican nominee as long as it is Trump or Cruz. If neither is the nominee, then hello President Clinton.

What we’re seeing is the systematic tar and feathering of eastern elitists. I would prefer actual physical applications of these products but it sure is fun to watch. Even the Cruz holy pure conservative supporters will be getting on board soon. Those supreme court pics will bring them around soon enough. The avg American is slapping down the only trump card they’ve not had in their hands in years.God bless you America. Coming off the deck and shaking off a standing eight count may take more work. But I haven’t seen people so excited since Reagan put an end to the fab Jimmy c years. The look in the eyes is the same. Get the f##k out of the way and let americans getr done.
