After a summer of dominating the Republican presidential campaign, Donald Trump is moving into a new and uncertain phase that the billionaire businessman acknowledges will be more challenging than any project he has ever undertaken — even as he views the nomination as now within his reach. In an hour-long interview with The Washington Post at his 26th-floor office in Trump Tower, the Republican front-runner ruminated on the many obstacles ahead. Sitting at a desk piled high with magazine covers bearing his image and strewn with polls and other testaments to his early success, Trump said he is far from satisfied with what he has accomplished to date. “If you don’t win, what have I done? I’ve wasted time,” he said. “I want to make America great again and you can’t do that if you come in a close second.” Trump laid out for the first time in detail the elements of what will be the second chapter of his 2016 bid, signaling an evolution toward a somewhat more traditional campaign. Trump is preparing his first television ads with a media firm that is new to politics. Melania, his wife, and Ivanka, his daughter, are planning public appearances highlighting women’s health issues to help close Trump’s empathy gap with female voters. Trump is also publishing a book and planning to roll out policies on reforming the Veterans Administration and on trade and China’s currency manipulations. And he is deepening his political organization far beyond the early states, with top advisers vowing that his fight for the nomination will go all the way to the floor of the Republican National Convention. Trump, who is mostly self-funding his campaign, said he had originally budgeted up to $20 million through mid-September for television advertising.

Melania and Ivanka to hit campaign trail too!
GO TRUMP!!!!!!
This could get rather interesting
HOORAY Trump
NOW, I wish we watched tv. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
As popular as he is and given the ad rates he could command, Donald should have purchased or created his own network
As opposed to this year's TV schedule. TV viewers will want to know which shows the Trump ads will be on, and watch the shows for the ads.
Impressive.
That may not be a strong enough word, because if you're one of his opponents, it's devastating.
Has any other candidate even come close to getting the kind of media scrutiny Trump is getting?
How many interviews and press conferences has Shrillary Clinton given this year?
It will be on you tube
Let’s hope Melania and Ivanka are fully prepared to be media targets once they inject themselves into the race, because the media ain’t scoring nothing off Donald so far
Not saying they shouldn’t do it - family is almost required now in a Presidential campaign - just be prepared to be attacked relentlessly by a desperate media. This is the price of being a successful Republican.
$2 M , mostly on jet fuel, no doubt. LOL. Go get ‘em , Donald.
Agree. Attractive, smart women add interest to the campaign.
I know. We never miss a one. But I’d love to get the full effect. It’s gonna be Yuuuge.
If leftists try to blame the latest hurricane on Trump’s excessive carbon emissions, he’ll just remind them that it was hurricane Donald who steered it so it wouldn’t hit land.......
If Trump wants to do something which would not only shore up his defense of religious freedom but also be of practical effect, he should do something materially to help the people being impoverished by sodomites with an agenda to seek and destroy Christians who live their faith 24 hours a day and not just on Sunday for an hour. He doesn’t have to pay their fines, though that’s one avenue-he could finance them to appeal, or other things-there must be multiple ways in which he could help these persecuted Christians. Of course, he could also do this without fanfare, but I take into account that he’s running for President.
The media knows that Shillary doean’t come across well in person, so they’re doing her campaigning for her by proxy.
Gosh, yeah, must be intimidating for him. After all, what does Trump know about TV?
