Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump said Wednesday morning while he’s confident he can unite “much” of the party around his candidacy, the remaining critics who don’t want to get on board can hit the road.
“I am confident that I can unite much of it. Some of it, I don’t want. There were statements made about me that those people can go away and maybe come back in eight years after we serve two terms,” Trump said during a phone interview on the “Today” show. “
He continued: “Honestly, there are some people I really don’t want. I don’t think it’s necessary. People would be voting for me, they’re not voting for the party.”
The billionaire also said while he had heard rumors that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was considering leaving the race, the senator’s Tuesday night exit surprised him.
While the two former rivals haven’t spoken on the phone yet, according to Trump, the presumptive nominee said, “I would certainly be expecting to be talking to Ted” soon.
Watch the interview via the “Today” show:
The level of hatred that he’s going to elicit from across wildly disparate demographics virtually guarantees nuclear-level defeat in the general.
already alienating Hispanics, Blacks, Women and Muslims Donnie Dimwit now proceeds to try to alienate any other voters in the Republican party except for ancient white guys and the KKK and White Power voters…
Today’s CNN Poll Trump favorable/ unfavorable rating among women, 32%/64%…Romney got 44% of the women’s vote in 2012…
I’m not so sure. My gut tells me he’s going to be a tough out.
Its kind of funny how last night all the pundits were oohing and aahing about Trump being “presidential”…that didn’t even last 8 hours.
Trump is like a kid with ADHD in a school play. MAYBE he can memorize a few words or even a line from the script…but something shiny will roll across the stage and his attention is gone…he is right back to being Trump. He has literally no impulse control, and his ego demands to be fed…so of course he is going to crow and thump his chest and sneer at everyone who disagreed with him.
Because the realities of a General election haven’t dawned on him yet. He probably believes he can sue every republican that doesn’t support him now.
For that matter, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump talks about suing the country after he loses in November.
