Trump: If I Were in Third or Fifth Place, I Wouldn’t Be Taking About the Polls Either

‘The reason I talk about the polls is because I am in number one place’

SCARBOROUGH: “You know, Donald, we’re going now to Nicolle whose mother saw you in a rally in Reno, right?”

WALLACE: “Yes, my mom saw you after the debate last week, and she convened a family meeting right after over two urgent messages. One, she said, do you know Oreos are now made in Mexico — we were traumatized as a family.”

TRUMP: “Right. We don’t need them anymore Nicolle.” (Laughter) [crosstalk]

BRZEZINSKI: “Oh my God.”

WALLACE: “Neither do we now. Neither [indecipherable] But, and my sisters are all Democrats. They’re really mad at you. But my mom asked me, she said, you know, at his rally he talked a lot about this polls. And they love you, they want you to go all the way. They’re worried that that’s the only metric you have. And that — should you be down the polls, like a Jeb Bush would you still be committed? Is there any metric that you value? And [indecipherable] just talking about your book you talked about as number one in the set, is there any other metric for you or you hardwired as a business person to only be fueled by that ranking?”

TRUMP: “No. I’m totally committed. I’m going all the way; doesn’t make any difference to me. But the reason I talk about the polls, just because I’m a number one place. You know, somebody said. well other people don’t talk about the polls. I said, that’s because they’re being beaten. I mean, I will say this if I were being beaten, if I was in 3rd place or 5th place I wouldn’t be talking about the polls either. But it was funny, because somebody said well other people don’t talk about the polls. I said, I wouldn’t either, if I were, you know, mired in 7. But the answer is yes, and I’m sure your mother told you, it was a great rally. I’m sure your mother told you about the spirit in that huge auditorium, right?”

WALLACE: “She did. She was there for the — you did an interview in FOX News, and she tried to jump in the corner.”
