Even Trump’s most trusted advisors didn’t expect him to fare this well ” the goal was to get The Donald to poll in double digits and come in second in delegate count. That was it. The Trump camp would have been satisfied to see him polling at 12% and taking second place to a candidate who might hold 50%. His candidacy was a protest candidacy.
I don’t think even Trump thought he would get this far. And I don’t even know that he wanted to, which is perhaps the scariest prospect of all. He certainly was never prepared or equipped to go all the way to the White House, but his ego has now taken over the driver’s seat, and nothing else matters. The Donald does not fail. The Donald does not have any weakness. The Donald is his own biggest enemy.
What was once Trump’s desire to rank second place to send a message to America and to increase his power as a businessman has nightmarishly morphed into a charade that is poised to do irreparable damage to this country if we do not stop this campaign in its tracks ” He doesn’t want the White House. He just wants to be able to say that he could have run the White House. He’s achieved that already and then some. . . . The hard truth is: Trump only cares about Trump.

He never wanted to win...check his premise...
Worth repeating
BTW I posted a reference, I will repeat it here to you
Back then:
Trump Now :"Lyin’ Ted Cruz had the Governor of Wisconsin, many conservative talk radio show hosts, and the entire party apparatus behind him"
Trump :GOPE good for me but not for thee,.
Dream on. I have never heard of “Salon” but their little essay is cute. I would call it fictional. It provides no legitimate facts. Donald Trump is going to run the full gamut. He doesn’t quit and he doesn’t lose. He’s DONALD J. TRUMP, large and in charge and our next POTUS! Get used to it.
Trump Now :"Lyin’ Ted Cruz had the Governor of Wisconsin, many conservative talk radio show hosts, and the entire party apparatus behind him"
Trump :GOPE good for me but not for thee,.
It reminds me of the Obama candidacy. The personalities are nearly identical.
Great speech Ted, WI picked the right guy.
Not ‘lyin’ Don
Only in the functionally retarded mind of a Cruz supporter are those two things contradictory.
Whoa! I am not a "people" Ya learn something every day.
So, you’re a slimeball hack just like your candidate? Good for you. Birds of a feather and all.
It’s doable. The GOP establishment would rather have the Clintons in the White House than Trump as their candidate. They would do that. They know that many Trump supporters would back him in a third party run. They don’t care. They won’t turn the Republican Party over to Trump.
Salon writes the biggest steaming pile of HS ever dreamed up. Of Course Trump wants to win and always did. If he didn’t think he had a good chance to win he would never have run. He’s still likely to win.
You are right on the money. I know madmen. I have friends who are madmen and Trump is no madman.
You sound exactly like Trump.
Showing why I wouldn't want a classless turd thrower like him in the WH.
And yet Ventura did become governor
:)
Just too much material handed to me by Trump and his supporters....
“If Trump doesn’t want to be President any more,... play martyr to his supporters for years to come.”
Or maybe he’ll take the opportunity to actually BE President, knowing that Hillary is eminently beatable once he moves into her head rent free and starts trashing the place.
Losing is for losers. Trump isn’t a loser. He may not always win, but not for trying to lose.
These guys were posting anti-Trump stories from Salon last night also.
Why are Cruz supporters not joyous this morning after their guy won Wisconsin. Wasn’t this supposed to be a “game changer” for the rest of the campaign? They seem angrier than ever! They are so full of rage over Trump, they can’t even enjoy their candidates win; this is beyond strange to me.
What’s equally strange is that the Cruz supporters are going to Left-wing rags like Salon to hit Trump.
Something just doesn’t seem right about this.
The so called ‘lies’ are the truth.
Trump wants single payer government run health care.
Lol, reality has a way of breaking through the fog!
