Tucker Carlson, first WaPo/ABC poll showing rump over Clinton 46-44, do you expect to maintain that? Trump hopes so. Clinton is ineffective, Bernie is right, she is not qualified, Libya, Benghazi, bad judgment, and that is Bernie saying that. Bernie didn't go after the e-mails, I will
Hillary went after you, plays clip from Hillary last night. Guns in classrooms - picture more kids at risk of violence and bigotry. Trump says "that's just words, she reads off a teleprompter, she doesn't have her own words. Trump is for teachers having guns, not the students. as far as bigotry, country has never been as divided as it is now.
Female host says some say the GOP is divided, does the NRA endorsement signal some coming together? Trump says the endorsement was powerful, he is honored by it, found out about it just before he spoke.
Carlson says what about the list of donors that won't donate to his campaign? There is a list of them. Trump says no access to WH, Ricketts family mentioned particularly, singles out Pete Ricketts, who endorsed him. Trump says also that he won't be beholden to donors. Plays a clip of Bernie saying Trump is probably as broke as everybody else is. Q: are you prepared to self fund all the way? Trump says he was committed to self-fund through the primaries then would make a decision. Now he is helping the RNC fund raise, and will continue to pour in his own money. Trump says he is helping other GOP candidates, governors, senators, etc. Trump says the story should have been on GOP unification. Refers the NYT as the "failing NYT," and says he is not surprised at the story. Reiterates no access to those who are outspoken opponents.
Do you think the reason they don't donate is open borders? He doesn't know, but thinks in general the opposition or refusal to donate is because the usual donors won't donate unless they also get some control over the political agenda in exchange.
Plans to woo Bernie supporters? Reference to Bernie wanting to fire Wasserman-Schultz. Trump says he hears many Bernie supporters would vote for Trump rather than Hillary, 30% of them in west Virginia. Many of the Bernie supporters do not like Hillary, she is "crooked Hillary." Trump says Bernie right about trade agreements. we have the worst trade agreements, they are done for the donors who don't want to support Trump. Interview over.
All in all its looking better for Trump every week.
