Donald Trump called into the Washington Post today to discuss the state of his campaign.
Trump told reporter Robert Costa he didn’t need FOX to win the election.

On the other hand, if Trump wins the nomination, as it appears at this point he very well may do, then I'm all in.
If the current front runner Trump can't defeat Hillary, as you claim, who in your estimation who can defeat her in a head-to-head match up?
I am furious at the lying jackasses (male and female) who are black, brown and white. I'm tired of the trillions and trillions of dollars of national debt, the illegal immigration, the EPA, Homeland Security, the Department of Anti-Eduction, the IRS, the DOJ, the Department of NON-Energy, the Department of Agriculture,..............
He should wonder why their anger is focused on him saying blood was coming out of Megans nose or whatever, but zero anger that the President of the USA compared American citizens to those Iranians that chant death to America. The press acts like a bunch of teenagers.
Voter fraud?
My prediction is that Trump is going to be proactive on this issue, encouraging people to become involved in poll watching, and various other activates as the election proceeds.
I predict actual hand to hand battles at voting booths across the country.
Most of us a damned fed up with the corruption.
IATZ. Damn.
My friends who are not political and hate politics can’t stop talking about Trump. Every drunk in the bars in Oregon talk about the Donald. I know because I travel every week and make it a habit to stop at different locations to measure the pause of the residents.
Trump has more experience in meeting payrolls, finance, project management and meeting goals than all of the other candidates combined.
“hillary will be in prison”
And Elizabeth Warren will be the Democrat nominee
Yeah, that’s funny...as if he doesn’t get that.
The whole bombastic shtick is a marketing gig. Eventually he needs to modulate a bit, but for now it’s good.
That sort of comparison would be to insult bunches of teenagers!
I think you are greatly underestimating Trump. I’ve read four of his books, waiting on number 5 to arrive. Trump hasn’t even warmed up yet.
Trump is the only one
1. that is not owned by big daddy donors
2. Stands up to the media and GOPe . The others would fold like a cheap suit
3.fights and won't apologize.
4.The only one that made illegals an issue everyone is now talking about
5. The only one talking against China. the other owned by China
6. Is successful and will know how to deal with China and Mexico and not back down
7. Is successful in business so he'll make the economy prosper
8 politicians are corrupt and have destroyed the USA
9. politicians have done nothing conservative only helped Obama pass obama trade, Iran deal, highway deal etc.
10. The others are career politicians Trump isn't
many more these are just some off the top of my head
I should have read your profile first. God bless you for all the work you do in that beautiful state!
He’s had some spectacular failures... and some spectacular successes.
One who never dares anything great is guaranteed never to have a great failure either... but what sort of philosophy is that?
Where are you getting that Trump is finished? His poll numbers are through the roof and is the talk of the common man. I hear him being spoken of positively most every time I engage someone in conversation between the grocery, gas station, hardware, walmart, restaurant and every place in between.
Where or who is that from?
Does this have its own current thread on FR?
There is a growing contingent of people in this country who are totally and completely fed up with our entire political system. They don’t care about pragmatism, or policies, or outcomes. They just want to give everyone from the pundits to the politicians both middle fingers and they don’t care who else is looking when they do it.
For his part, Trump hasn’t merely knocked over the chessboard or set the rulebook on fire as Jazz postulated. That’s more like Ted Cruz level stuff. No Trump’s going the full Reservoir Dogs on our entire political process, dancing around as he cuts off its ear and pours gasoline on it while it begs him not to burn it alive. (Explicit content warning for those who haven’t seen the movie.) The reality is most people are just looking for a candidate who reflects how they feel, and right now what most people feel is anger, frustration, and resentment. They’re tired of the games and have absolutely had it with political parties and the rich old white guys in Washington running them. Trump’s very existence as a political entity is as an expression of that anger. Indeed, anger itself is probably too weak a word. This is not merely some mild irritation with the GOP establishment. His support comes from raw, unadulterated fury directed at all the levers of power that have failed us all again and again and again. After all these years of being lied to, stabbed in the back, and disappointed at every turn, some people have just decided they want the entire structure burned to the ground, and if they have to immolate the whole country to do it? So be it.
Bingo.
