Campaign Action
The same day dozens of Republicans raised a panic with Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, urging him to cut loose Donald Trump to try to save Congress, Trump decided to really give them something to panic over.
Asked by Fox News’ Eric Bolling about the open letter by 70 Republicans asking the Republican National Committee to redirect funding from the presidential race to down-ballot campaigns, Trump said he didn’t need their assistance.
“One of the big things about the RNC is they have this whole infrastructure of data and information and contacts and email lists and mailing lists and phone numbers. That is something that is important to your campaign,” Bolling said. “That’s not at risk. Is that in jeopardy at all?”
“I don’t know. I will let you know on the ninth, on November 9th,” Trump replied.
“We are gonna have tremendous turnout from the evangelicals, from the miners, from the people that make our steel, from people that are getting killed by trade deals, from people that have been just decimated, from the military who are with Trump 100 percent,” he went on. “From our vets because I’m going to take care of the vets.”
“I don’t know that we need to get out the vote,” the Republican nominee concluded. “I think people that really want to vote, they’re gonna just get up and vote for Trump. And we’re going to make America great again.”
People just show up for me, you know? Look at my rallies! Huuuuge successes. Huuuuge crowds. (This is real: "At the rally last night I had 10,000 people. If Hillary had that rally, she would have had 200 people if she was lucky.")
He doesn't care about the Republican party. He doesn't care about Congress. He doesn't care about any of the stuff would-be public servants care about. He cares about Trump. And he's just what Republicans deserve.
