Donald Trump on Wednesday morning brushed off questions about a Monmouth University poll released this week that showed Trump and Ben Carson tying for the lead among likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers.
During an interview in ABC’s “Good Morning America,” host George Stephanopoulos asked Trump about the poll and “the threat posed by Ben Carson in Iowa.”
“I like Ben a lot. He’s a good guy,” Trump responded. “But he’s been spending a tremendous amount of advertising money out in Iowa.”
Trump noted that he is still “leading by quite a bit” in other polls, dismissing the outlier with a tie.
“One of them came out, and a little bit surprisingly there was a tie, and I think that’s great,” he said. “But Ben is spending money in Iowa and I’m not. I am out in Iowa quite a bit. I’ve made speeches, quite a few of them, and we have tremendous response and tremendous audiences. But Ben is spending a lot of money in Iowa.”
Carson doesn’t have the luxury of the national media fawning over him, either.
Please tell me we’re nearing peak Trump. I’ve had my fill of reading about every tweet, exhale and fart, thank you very much. (And this picture of him looks exactly like butter Trump.)
That’s an interesting comment about advertising coming from a reality TV “star”
I could TOTALLY see Rump having Carson as his “running mate.” Yep.
I feel your pain. Actually I am already election 2016 weary
