Trump: If GOP Doesn't Support Me, Fine, 'I Have A Lot Of Cash'

Frustrated by flagging donations and criticism from GOP leaders on Capitol Hill, Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he “may go a different route” in funding his general election campaign if need be.

“I need support from the Republicans,” Trump said on “Fox and Friends,” noting that some in the party, including Republican National Committee officials, have “been terrific.”

“But it would be nice to have full support from people that are in office, I mean full verbal support,” he said. “Now with all that being said I may go a different route if those things don’t happen.”

Trump said that he raised $12 million at RNC fundraising events in the Southwest over the weekend—proof, he said, that he can come up with the money he needs to beat Democrat Hillary Clinton on his own.

any Republican is better than a Democrat.

Besides Trump does way better in people's imaginations than he does when he opens his mouth.

He ought to stay home, do a bit of exercise, some sun, and take good care of the comb-over.

Come Nov the R's will turn out and vote R. And he can say something simple like, Thanks, lets go cut taxes
