Having doubts? After leading the
polls since he announced his candidacy in June for the 2016 U.S.
presidential election, Republican front-runner Donald Trump admitted on
Tuesday, Sept. 29, that if things don't go his way, he has a backup
plan.
During an interview with Matt
Lauer on the Today show, the morning show host noted the fact fact that
one of the businessman's for the Republican nomination, retired
neurosurgeon Ben Carson, is in a virtual tie with Trump, polling only
one point behind the real estate mogul.

"It's an ebb and flow, but I'm leading every single poll and most of
them by a substantial number," Trump replied.
"Can I keep that going? I
have no idea but I will try."
The former Apprentice host did kind of concede that his lead is not
as strong as it once was, and when Lauer asked, "Do you have the stomach
to stick this out?" Trump – who has stirred up controversy with his
inflammatory statements about immigrants, women and even his fellow
candidates -- was more of a realist in his reply.
"Well, I'm a practical person,
Matt, if I see things aren't going well, like for instance, there are
people right now in the Republican party, who are not doing well -- I
don't think it's going to change for them -- at some point you have to
get out," he said. "So if I think for some reason it's not gonna work, I
will go back to my business. There's no question about that. But right
now I think it's working very very well."
