Doesn't apologize for being rich and for who he is. Wants to improve his country. He is only one left running who has a chance in making it happen.

His kids all turned out great so that's a very good indication right there of what kind of a man and leader he could be.

Bingo...

Politically correct doesn't work with Donald Trump and it rattles feathers and shakes the foundations.... It's funny how Anderson Cooper seemed most stressed over the Trump interview compared to the others.. Looks like a walk in the park for Anderson Cooper now with John Kasich..

I actually kinda like Kasich but he should drop out.. It's Cruz or Trump now and everyone knows it.. Wish Kasich would drop out and join Trump now like Ben Carson did.... That would seal the deal..

again, you are taking it of context. I am starting to think you aren't doing on on purpose but rather you aren't capable of seeing it like others like me do.

What's the context? He said he doesn't ask for donations. His own campaign website clearly does solicit donations. I guess he wants to parse by saying HE doesn't ASK even though his website invites donations.

I just watched the exchange. Cooper said his website solicits donations.

Trump: I don't think so.
Cooper: Yes, it does.
Trump: Whatever.

Not out of context. Trump has a problem with facts. They just don't apply to him. All that matters is what he thinks and feels.

**JIBBBY** · 03-29-16, 10:46 PM

Trump wins again on CNN.. Out shines the other candidates as usual..

Topic is always Donald Trump even with the other candidates.. Trump remains the front runner...

he's knows there's a donate button on his site. During his speeches he's thanked people for sending in their small donations because (and I am paraphrasing) he understand how some people want to be part of his campaign. The point is, he isn't taking money from big donors like all the rest are. I know that's what he meant and so does everyone else without an agenda. That's how I see it.

**The Kraken** · 03-29-16, 10:54 PM

He is the big donor

Donald Trump becoming president is the same as Exxon-Mobil becoming president

Dude, watch the exchange. Cooper specifically referred to the donate button on his website. Trump says I don't think so. He either literally doesn't know, or he knows and doesn't think the truth is important.

And then he says it's peanuts, even though he's solicited like 10 million dollars in 8 months. I'd like those peanuts.

why you don't get the point is beyond me. I give up. You either get it or don't. Its all good.

Just another way to bash him for some....Means nothing

Trump has said multiple times people can make small donations and feel part of the campaign and that he doesn't take big donations in the normal sense of politics

I didn't see this exchange with Cooper but maybe Trump fukked up.....He has said in the past that people can contribute small amounts so he's not being shady or deceitful at all

**d2bets** · 03-29-16, 11:11 PM

No filter...here is the transcript:

COOPER: You always say you're self-funding. How much do you think your campaign has cost - in the past you said $25 million.
TRUMP: I can tell you, I'd say I'm in right now for - now, I'm in for about $35 million right now.
COOPER: Okay.
TRUMP: We take the small loans, the people that send $17.50, or $250, even $1,000...
COOPER: And you solicit those on your website.
TRUMP: No, I sell hats and shirts and...
COOPER: No, but you do solicit donations on your website?
TRUMP: No, I don't really think so.
COOPER: Yes, you do. You have two spots (ph), where you do.
TRUMP: Okay, whatever. Whatever. It's peanuts.

After re-reading this, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I think he actually didn't know what was on his website. Certainly not the first time that's been the case.

**MoneyLineDawg** · 03-29-16, 11:13 PM

OK so he was wrong about the website tonight....Who cares

I've heard him say people can donate small amounts before so it's really not a big deal

Trumps best quality IMO is that he doesn't even want to be the president.

And although I would never vote for Trump, it would be interesting to see what an outsider could accomplish. Unfortunately I think he could accomplish a lot of the wrong things

QUESTION: In your opinion, what are the top three functions of the United States government?
TRUMP: Well, the greatest function of all by far is security for our nation. I would also say health care, I would also say education. I mean, there are many, many things, but I would say the top three are security, security, security.
We have to have security for our country so that we can continue to exist as a country. We are in danger. Thousands and thousands of people are infiltrating our country. We don't know who they are.
There's a very vicious world. We're living in a very vicious world and we're doing something that is against a lot of very smart people's wishes. I can tell you, it's totally against my wishes.
COOPER: So top three, you're saying, security.
TRUMP: Security. I say all top three are security, but health care, education, would be probably three that would be top. And then you can go on from there.

How many Republicans or conservatives agree that education and health care are among he top 3 functions of the federal government?

again, I watched that exchange and I have no problem with his answer. Security is his no 1 thing and he is emphasizing that but also wanted to make sure you know that he is for healthcare and education. He also wants jobs. Its not an easy question to answer without being scrutinized no natter what he says. What would you say if you were him?

I'm just saying it's not a Republican answer. I agree on health care. I agree that it has to be provided by the federal government. I'm not sure whether he actually agrees or whether this is lip service, but it's good to hear. On education, it's certainly not a top 3 federal function, but I'm for a robust Dept of Education. Where I'm confused though is before he had so to get rid of it. So how is he then making education a federal priority? His answers are just so confusing and contradictory you can't make heads or tails.

**MoneyLineDawg** · 03-29-16, 11:55 PM

Trump is far from a typical Republican which IMO is a good thing....we know that already though

He is truly an independent with a lot of common sense in his views

Whats best for America vs bowing down to a party pick your choice

Health care as one of the top 3 functions of government is something that sounds like it comes from a democrat.

Trump would dismantle the epa, doe, repeal obamacare, and then.......

yes his answer to education was confusing. My guess is he still believes in a single payer healthcare plan similar to Canada but he can't really say it because he will be scorned by the reps. I think the single pay would be an excellent start. If done right.

When elected, he will get his people to work together with the dems and figure out a good plan. I rather have him be vague on that right now but figure it out once elected. Who is really expecting a businessman candidate to give an answer which everyone will like? Trump is highly intelligent. Like him or hate him, he's built a hugely successful empire. Surely, there has to be a plan out there that can be agreed by the vast majority of both parties and passed? You get both side to work until they design a great plan. That's their job!

If they weren't in government, everyone in Washington should have fired by now. That includes Obama. Especially him. You make deals and get it done. Do you really want another 8 years of the opposition telling everyone they are gonna repeal it if they get elected? I believe Trump will have a better chance at achieving it because he isn't having his strings pulled. Not by anyone. As far I know of course. I hope. I believe its true. Surely these people in Washington aren't stupid. But spending years fighting over shit is dumb.

agreed. I agree with Sanders on healthcare. It should be a human right for a country's citizens to have access to inexpensive health care. If not "free". If that's a democrat thing, so be it. That is another appealing aspect to Trump.
