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.

CO2 from them is good.....
Four legs good, two legs bad.
I can say this-they couldn’t possibly be any worse than Meghan McCain, the media’s favorite GOP family member spokesperson. But then, nobody could be worse than that bimbo.
That is impressive, actually. He has all the money in the world to finance his own campaign, and of all candidates, he’s having to spend some of the least amount to get mega media play. Just imagine if he decides to double down, say after he wins the primaries.
Ivanka is expecting baby 3
Which is being offset by sales of Trump merchandise. The Donald will probably make a profit from his campaign.
Very good. Don’t sit back and take the cheap shots like a punching bag. Don’t be a “W”.
Jet fuel and bottles of TRUMP water. He’s been passing it out to press and guests when the temperature soars
Yet another excellent effect of Trump's campaign is that it has the Lamestream Mediots repeatedly using the politically verboten word "businessman." A man that nervy and brash, they for some reason don't feel comfortable referring to as a "businessperson," as if he might be Pajama Boy or Carly Fiorina.
We should respond by renewing our counterattack to reclaim our language and our national soul through vigorous use of fireman, policeman, mailman, crewman, serviceman, foreman, chairman, point man . . .
. . . spokesman. What else have I forgotten? Help me out here.
I hardly ever see her unless it’s in a very controlled and scripted situation. It’s very strange how some people want to see somebody like that as president. Even aside from the constant scandals and the constant lying and the criminal behavior. She’s just a very, very strange person.
Ivanka could be a Trump secret weapon if he gets her out in public and on TV ads. She’s beautiful, intelligent, articulate and genuine. You’d expect her to be a NYC version of Paris Hilton but she’s the polar opposite.
I think her real, one and only ambition is to become as rich as she can before she dies, and what better position from which to wheel and deal than as “Most Powerful Politician In The World”? I mean, what has she used every position and job she’s ever held, to mostly do? Rack up the dollars.
Agree. Attractive, smart women add interest to the campaign.
I respect the way he raised his kids, to be hard working.
I was not sure about Donald in the beginning but as I get to know him more and more. He reflects me. And no he is not perfect for the rest of you who are.
Same with the ladies even more so.
She’s had a lot of national exposure from appearing on The Apprentice every week. The only people who don’t know Ivanka have been sleeping under a rock.
IMO, Bush’s not smacking down the MSM gave us Zero!!
I've never seen an episode of The Apprentice, watched a few episodes of Celebrity Apprentice because my wife wanted to see Trace Adkins. Not everybody stays glued to their TV's.
Love that!
Soon he will put it in gear and give the pedal a push.
Might even spend another couple mil, lol.
