Trump: Pundits Wrong ‘Because They Don’t Know Me’

CAMEROTA: “Good morning, Mr. Trump.” 

TRUMP: “Good morning.”

CAMEROTA: “Thanks so much for being here. Let’s talk about these new polls hot off the presses this morning. You once again are leading the pack. As we just said, you have 27 percent. You’ve gone up three points since last month.”

TRUMP: “Right.”

CAMEROTA: “Your closest competitor is Ben Carson there. He’s gone up eight points since last month. But let’s talk about you, because you have defied all of the conventional wisdom. The pundits said by now we would be seeing the polls drop, your numbers plummet or you would have gotten out of the race or you would have imploded. What do the pundits not realize about you?”

TRUMP: “Well, they don’t know me. They don’t know where I come from. They don’t understand about winning, and I, you know, enjoy this. I’m seeing — as you know, I was at a place last night which was so incredible. We were — you know, the crowd of people that we have is incredible. It’s incredible. I was in South Carolina, and the place was packed. And the enthusiasm and the love in the room, I mean, it’s love. It’s beyond, like, a regular you’re going to make a speech. The love in the room. People want to see something happen. I was in New Hampshire. I was in Iowa. I was in Virginia the other day. And we had 10,000 people. Last night we had 8,000 people. It’s that way all the time. And the only thing that stops even more are the size of the arenas. I mean, you can’t get bigger.”
